26891 2001-12-08 00:39:00 Is there software that allows me to physically turn my 17' screen on its side (in portrait) so I can see a whole A4 page for DTP. The software turn the display from landscape(normal) to portrait(on its side). I remember seeing displays like this in a courtroom recently!!. Guest (0)

Everybody knows if you turn the monitor on it's sde, gravity will make the picture hang straight again.

26894 2001-12-08 02:13:00 Yeah, I've seen them too, but I have no idea what software you use to get it to do that, or whether its something in the hardware... I'll have a search, and if I find something I'll get back to you. Guest (0)

us.portrait.com
and:
www.cadalyst.com
You will see a monitor on its side in portrait mode :)

Hi Geoff, it is possible, havent tried it and dont know what the cost would be.
I have seen MAC portrait mode monitors and have a memory of seeing a normal monitor showing a portrait mode screen.
Try a Google search with something like portrait mode for monitor as the search phrase.
Cheers

I tried turning my monitor sideways but the picture didn't hang down straight though, was that Pee Wee just fishing.

Yes u can get them not through software I don't think they are a entirely diff. monitor which can be physically swivelled around. Pricy though. Guest (0)
