Can the screen be swiveled to a portrait (vertical) position? Portrait position is an absolute necessity for me. I can never go back to working with documents and webpages any other way since being spoiled by the deliciously long real estate of a 22" vertical screen. Oh, but that means a dual monitor, of course. Simply highlight and drag from one monitor to the open doc on the other monitor. Love it. This screen in landscape view, imo, only good for movies or spreadsheets. Putting two docs side-by-side does *not* give full view.

i dont think it has a VESA plate, as the back of the display is also the access panel to get to the mother board, and i think that would be too much stress.this is a nice machine tho, my toddlers love it.

It can be used in portrait mode under Windows XP and newer using the built-in multi-monitor tool (right-click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution, after connecting the external display). The included DisplayLink driver will also facilitate the rotation of the screen.

Height is not adjustable and you can tilt the screen back and forth. It takes a little extra force then you would think. If you wish for more height i suggest wall mounting it or if you plan to get two just order a VESA dual mount desk clamp holder. Don't remember the exact name but it's something vesa

It has to be mounted vertically. There is no option for rotating the screen.

No. They clearly state: "The monitor can be installed in either portrait or landscape mode. The mounting panel cannot rotate to interchange from either of the modes. "UPDATE: now that I installed the unit, I can see why some people say YES, you can rotate the monitor. Although it is possible to rotate the monitor on the single mounting pin in the center of the VESA mounting plate, it probably is not a good idea since it will loosen the connection and cause the monitor to list to one side or the other. It probably is OK to slightly rotate the monitor to level it, but I wouldn't get carried away with rotating it on this single pin.

I am actually using it as a standing desk with my computer on my sitting desk level. That said, I think if you either mounted the screen(a) the way they show it in the picture or have it against a wall so you can push your monitor (or iMAC) back as far as you can, it works just fine. I love mine!

it does not swivel but depending on the holes in your monitor and mountigng bracket of monoprice(vesa specs) you might be able to reattach the monitor into portrait or landscape mode ) but you have to use a screwdriver.

Does it work in portrait mode just for browsing web pages? If yes, I will use it with a VESA vertical stand.

There are probably faster solutions than this if you plan on repeatedly rotating the monitor. Obviously there's not enough height on the pole to have the top monitor in portrait and the bottom in landscape. Its a matter of loosening a nut changing orientation and retightening the nut, however, I would wonder if repeated adjustments would wear out the tightening capabilities. I used it with one monitor only in landscape and had it sitting stacked on top of a freestanding monitor on an electric bench that raised and lowered from standing to sitting and in between with multiple height changes each day. For me the stand was great. There are probably faster solutions than this if you plan on repeatedly rotating the monitor.

So far the only way is to manually set the vertical / portrait view is through the windows display tool or graphic card utility tool. I wish it could do this automatically as it turns (that would be a cool feature). I'm still experimenting with it. If I find out more, I will definately post it. You can also post your questions on their facebook page and see if they can help.

Yes, the screen can be tilted up to position horizontally. It has over 200 degrees of tilt range.

Only two locked positions, laptop, and tablet form, the angle is set in the laptop position, so you must adjust your view angle for it. That has been inconvienent only on occasion, I use mine for work, normally in the car, thus glare during sunny days in the summer played a minor issue with having only one locked angle of view in the laptop position. But I really enjoy mine, I had thought the sliding lock motion would be less then durable, but I have had it for a while now and it has proved durable for the long term, but I don't drop my laptop..lol. I have Zero regrets other then Sony closing my local outlet store.

Not an answer, rather a follow-up question: Will this work for 3 Dell U2713HMs in PORTRAIT mode ? I'm wondering whether the horizontal bar goes high enough for the rotated portait-mode monitors to clear the surface of the desk.

I am sorry I had previously said No you can not turn your phone sideways to capture widescreen. But I was wrong you can mount it landscape or portrait. I hope this helps

Yes, I just bought this to replace my broken one. It snapped right in. It rotates landscape to portrait and moves up and down (8" up down span adjustment, it depends on the size of your monitor) and can also tilt. If you look at the back side of item you can see the rotation wheel. I did try it to make sure it would do it before I answered this question. Hope that helps.

Rotation is done though the horizontal, not vertical, axis. The base has a circular inset that allows the monitor to be swiveled left and right as needed. It also tilts forward and back and can also be height adusted up or down. Those are three different adjustment directions. The screen cannot be rotated 90 degrees to portrait orientation that we know of.

I tilted my display about 45 degrees with the camera on, and it tilted the framed picture. So, No. Just a narrower framed picture, but your still "right side up".I'm quite sure there's software out there to manipulate it - I believe evens Windows apps could do it.I'm happy with mine, not going to rotate it, picture is great, and camera does well - just remember, you will need a mike to tele-communicate.Good Luck
