No need to flip monitor on it side.
i have a flatscreen with tilting technology.

(however it doesn't work if you use it as your secondary screen, bugger)

In the olden days one used
to be able to get Mac monitors that did exactly that...

makes typing on a laptop
pretty tricky
but I like your thinking
( Dr. Shambolic loverable rouge, Tue 24 Feb 2004, 11:48, archived)

Yay!
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!

my monitor actually does that

er
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.

Turn your head round
Dur!

Mouse...
/delurk

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...

/pedant

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

thats ironic
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
(Mynd, Tue 24 Feb 2004, 13:47, archived)

that's not ironic
it's just poor timing

hmmmm

( Obz Click, ting, stamps, Wed 25 Feb 2004, 14:58, archived)

the new nVidia drivers have that built in....
you can rotate it 90, 180 or 270... it's great for confusing people....

Can be done
I think it might be a win2k feature, not sure, but the computers at my college will do this if you press alt gr-left
