You absolutely can do a demo trial with a CRT. But you would not want to operate that way all the time because CRT's are not designed to operate on their sides. I got my first taste of screen rotation using the free demo of Pivot Pro on my Wintel machine that has a LaCie electron22blue CRT. A behemoth, but perfectly capable of being laid on its side. This was enough to convince me that the investment in 1) large LCD panel, 2) monitor arm, and 3) rotation software would have a huge payoff in productivity gains, esp. for the orch. score I was starting. Someone mentioned the new Samsung Syncmaster 213T. This is one of the sexiest (continuing the metaphor) displays I have ever seen. (I saw it at a local Best Buy or possibly CompUSA. I think they both carry it.) This a Finale user's dream display, and it is almost within range of a significant number of Finale users' budgets at $1300. Although it is not as large as my 240T, it is much more rotation friendly due to the positions of the switches and the size and shape of the bezel. There has been some skepticism expressed about the value of rotation, and it was only to these that I've ever directed the "you haven't tried it" comments. I believe that 1 year from now, when the 213T class of panels will likely be down well under $1000, you are gonna see many, many more people discovering screen rotation. And surely, by then OSX will be forced to have it.
