30" monitors in portrait Anonymous
It really bugged me when upgrading from a 24" to 30" monitor that all the 24"ers have stands where you can rotate the monitor from landscape to portrait mode, yet none of the 30" monitors I could find came with a rotatable stand... which of course is essential because women tend to stand upright :D

So came up with this custom solution. The arm is a Vantage Point AXUL01, but its sposed to be a wall mount so I had to bolt a large piece of 2"x4" onto my desk to mount it on. And it actually works :D

Any other interesting monitor mounting solutions? Anyone else got a 30" in portrait mode? How'd you do it?

I've been looking for a way to do this with a 50+ inch plasma display.

I want a wall mount that will allow you to easily rotate it from landscape to portrait, without removing bolts and remounting the display. Anyone seen something like this?

I've only seen monitors in portrait when working with stuff like data (an image from a Google office comes to mind). Why else would you want to put one in portrait? Especially a 50"?

yea gj anon. I plan to rig up a similar mount when i get my 30 this summer. I prefer my 24" vertical when not gaming or watching movies.

an actual metal mount would also do the trick, but it would be a lot more expensive than a 2x4

what you do is, you get the upright women to be horizontal...

Nice job. And I'm assuming you used some sort of program that rotates the desktop? Not a bad idea.

30"? I'm immensely jealous... I think a formal stand would be the right thing to go with, but if you can't find that, then maybe modifying a stand that can take the weight of your display would be the way to go. You must be able to find some rotating platform that you can attach to a sturdy base.

Are you, too, going to mount an artificial vagina underneath the monitor?

Pretty sweet mod. I have been looking for a way to do this with one of my 22" widescreens. It doesn't have that hardware on the back though.

What screen have you got?
It is just a "standard VESA mount" I reckon - four screw holes in a rectangle - most decent LCD screens should have these now. All the hardware - clamp etc. is part of the stand I think.

Stop spamming with your lame picture of your mothers lcd next to yours. It does not make you look cool or even remotely wealthy.
