My guess is that it must be the IPS monitors. They are usually much more costlier than the TN panel ones. So unless you are doing stuff like graphic designing, it doesn't make sense to shell out so much. Also, last I knew its hard to get Dell monitors due to some issues they have. They apparently don't sell it directly. You might want to try HP and Viewsonic for portrait modes (call them up directly). I cant recommend any directly as the monitor stands that I have seen so far are usually dismal. >> > As an aside, monitors designed only to view HD movies suck >> > big-time.

I have stuck to my 17" 1280x1024 screen - >> atleast it's bigger than 1440x900 and marginally smaller than >> 1920x1080. That's pretty much personal preference I guess. I prefer more windows tiled horizontally. So widescreen works for me during coding.
