"Turning a computer monitor from a landscape position to a portrait position may seem odd at first. After all, a horizontal display allows you to see more content on-screen, plus it is a more familiar experience. However, there are certain situations where flipping your screen vertically is genuinely useful. Programmers, for example, often prefer this orientation because it lets them see more lines of code without needing to scroll. Writers, like myself, appreciate this mode, as it makes reading and creating documents easier."
"Vertical monitors can also free up physical desk space and help with multitasking. You can position web pages and apps, such as Slack, on top of each other to improve readability. I've seen comments online claiming that a portrait-aligned screen is ergonomically better. That might be true in some scenarios, although there is a size limit. I'll get into it later, but first, let's go over how to rotate your monitor."
Portrait orientation lets users view more content vertically, reducing scrolling and improving workflows for programmers and writers. Vertical monitors can free desk space and facilitate multitasking by stacking web pages and apps for better readability. Some users report ergonomic benefits, though those benefits depend on monitor size. Windows 11 can rotate displays via Settings > System > Display > Scale & layout > Display orientation, with Landscape, Portrait, and flipped options. Third-party utilities also enable display rotation through keyboard shortcuts. Rotating a monitor may require a compatible stand or VESA mount and attention to resolution and aspect ratio for optimal legibility.
