Monitor Mount
How to mount (or stand) a widescreen monitor vertically?
I watch movies and play poker simultaneously, and as both are widescreen shaped they don't fit together very well on the screen. It's possible for my video card to switch the display to vertical, but my monitor doesn't turn that way and I don't know where to begin finding a way to stand it up sideways.
In addition, I'd like to be able to switch the monitor between sideways and upright without having to dismantle anything.
Can someone help me out?
Some monitors have a swivel mount that lets you arrange them vertically, but they are usually at the expensive end of the range. Obviously yours doesn't have that feature, so you'll have to find some way to prop it up vertically. Make sure that you provide adequate ventilation, as monitors designed for horizontal use might have vents designed to work only in that position.
If you're going to change orientations a lot, you'd be better off buying a monitor that has the swivel mount.
