How easy and quick is it to rotate a single monitor from landscape to/from portrait orientation?

the monitor mount will rotate 360 degrees. the pole is not long enough 2 monitors if they are mounted in portrait orientation. If you are only using 1 monitor, it will work fine, it would be a matter of managing the cables.

In Windows, as easy as going into Screen Resolution and changing the orientation

A single monitor would be simple BUT I believe there must be a better option for a single monitor that would not require tools.

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.

Hello M&A;,To adjust the monitor from landscape to/from portrait orientation is pretty simple. You'll just swivel the monitor while it's attached to the mount.Thank you for your question,Taylor W.VIVO

Yes, you could. The ease in which you could do so depends on how much space you have to move the arm. The arm has 2 joints. Each has 360 degree rotation capability. I have a very narrow desk and a very large monitor, so it would take a bit of adjustment for me, but no more than 30 seconds to make it visible to another person.

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.

In my opinion, yes. I simply reached, while sitting in my Lazyboy, (with my feet up, I might add), to easily twist my monitor into a vertical/portrait position. It's a decent size monitor too. ( 28 inches )

No, it can not be rotated to be use vertically.Also, it's not true 4K Monitor.

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.

No, this monitor arm has no provision to swivel between landscape and portrait.

Yes, the monitor rotates into a Portrait orientation. The portrait display mode is controlled by your computer though, not the monitor - nearly all computers have the ability to change the orientation of their display output though by rotating the orientation 90 degrees.

It is very easy to rotate the monitor on the stand. The only issue I see is do you have enough cord length for the video cable and power cord as that will determine how far you can rotate the monitors. I have very limited cord length so rotating is difficult.

yes the screen will physically rotate, whether the data displays in that format depends on your software configuration.

You just push the input button on the front. Super easy, great monitors, I have two of them on the same rig, I love it.

You can setup the Monitors and all three will 2 External and Laptop monitor will show. The Orientation is determined by the software and you can adjust it anyway you need it. Make sure you download the latest version of the software and reboot. I have installed on 3 MAC's now and It seems to work out better if you download the software reboot then plugin the hardware.

No it doesn't change on the fly from landscape to portrait, you would have to unscrew it and remount it in the position you would like.

Yes, this rotates easily (although not silently, as it loudly clicks when altering its orientation) between portrait and landscape.

Yes. The stand it ships with supports portrait or landscape mode, and the driver settings allow for configuration of both. It's as simple as rotating the screen and then adjusting your desktop resolution settings to match.

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.

If by "portrait arrangement" you mean to rotate both monitors so they are taller than they are wide, and then put them side-by-side the answer is NO, you cannot do that; because you cannot stack them. The device first creates a combined display of the monitors side-by-side and you can rotate that combined display to portrait so that you have a very very tall display. Example: if you have two displays that are 1920x1080, you can make a combined side-by-side display that is 3840x1080 or 1080x3840 (portrait), but you cannot have a combined stacked display that is 1920x2160 or 2160x1920 (portrait).
