Thanks. I didn't know they still had monitors that would turn to portrait mode.
I hadn't seen one in years.

The el cheapo stuff you see on the shelf in Best Buy and Staples? Yeah those probably don't. Anything above that? Yep. All of the monitors we buy at work have adjustable stands and can turn into portrait. Except the 34" ultrawides we buy, those you have to put on a monitor arm to make portrait.

To be honest? I haven't bought a monitor in...forever, that couldn't go do it, except the ultrawide I bought. If I wanted that one in portrait mode, I'd just use an arm.

2160p even better on a larger screen, preferably at least a 40.
