I dig the vertical monitor. Using one of those as a second screen plus switching to xmonad has been the most positive change I've made to my own working environment in the last year. Code, websites, anything text oriented - shorter lines are easier to read and comprehend



How does a vertical monitor work with sub pixel rendering? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering . Does linux do sub-pixel rendering? Does OS X turn it off when a monitor is rotated to vertical?


Also I would recommend going for an IPS monitor if you want to use it vertically, as it has a much wider viewing angle compared to TN monitors.


I have no idea what happens on OS X but it works just fine.
