I've been out of the loop for the last couple of days, and am really surprised by this big discussion of screen rotation--and have to say I agree with the initial response of "what does that have to do with anything?"
True, 4x3 monitors are not great for working on tall scores, and a portrait deal works better. But there are other ways of getting at that. In my studio, I use one 1600x1200 display positioned just above another at the same resolution, both with pretty much the same screen dimensions. There is about an inch-and-a-half between the bottom edge of the top screen and the top edge of the bottom screen, which is not an issue at all. What I get is a single desktop that is 3200 pixels tall by 2400 wide. Of course, I can view most tall scores at 100% in scroll view. Even with the displays set to the next resolution down, I can do most of a tall score at 100%, or the whole score at 84%.
(In case you are trying to picture how this works, I have a CRT on top sitting on the monitor shelf of my workstation furniture, and an Apple LCD sitting at desk level. The top of the LCD come just in front of the bottom of the CRT, and the screens line up beautifully).
Screen rotation isn't the be-all solution, as there are other ways of skinning the same cat.
