My flat screen and NVidia drivers actually do that though.
I had yet to find a use for it, I think I may just have done!

You can actually buy that though. (The monitor's on a pivot at the back rather than you having to pick up the whole thing to turn it.) There's a mercury switch inside that senses which way up the monitor is and tells the driver to reconfigure the desktop dimensions.
Oh everybody else said this too.
Well I said it at greatest length so nyahhh.

Is reflected the wrong way - it's all nice when the screen is still the right way up (moving the mouse right instead goes to where "up" is"). But if you flip the screen then all the controls are exactly backwards...

Okay, horribly pedantic (especially for a first post), but otherwise yay!

becasue about 10 years ago i actualy saw a moniter that would rotate a full 90 and change the screen resolution for web-pages and stuff. the base was constructed in such a way as to allow this, and when you rotated the screen, it automaticaly changed its resolution, although it was quite extreme, and a strangly large rectangle
