I'm confused. Do you like Macs or PCs? Your profile picture is writing a check your home screen can't cash.

Those monitors go vertical so you can put 2 or 3 of them side by side vertically to get a better resolution. It's particularly good for artists using tablets.

If you look closely, it is indeed a Mac. With a Dell monitor lol.

I love monitors that rotate like that, as long as the resolution is high enough. My preference is for 1200x1600 resolution in portrait mode (as a secondary monitor) - perfect for reading PDFs and magazines. I have a widescreen 23" monitor, but except for watching video (that is why I have a TV...) I would prefer to stick with the old-school 4:3 aspect ratio monitors.

My first one was a Samsung, and the power supply died after a few months. The cheap replacement from China only lasted a couple of weeks. I have a Dell that I installed at the office, and I'm really tempted to bring it back home. It comes in handy for some of the software I use, but I could probably get by with a smaller monitor in normal orientation.

I'd go back to my old Sun 22" CRT, but I don't know how to mount it in portrait mode. That, and it consumes a ton of power and heats up the room. We've come a long way in just a decade...
