Many external monitors can be rotated 90 degrees into portrait orientation.
- bhauer 10y agoYes, and if your environment can be configured with two or three monitors, a portrait orientation can be great. With just a single monitor, 1440x2560 would probably seem too narrow. Obviously individual tastes will vary. If your environment is limited to a single monitor, 3:2 is very nice and 16:10 is also quite good.
- Nition 10y agoIf anything I think screen height is even more important if you're going to portrait mode. 16:9 is horribly thin, 16:10 is better, 4:3 is possibly the best portrait aspect ratio.
- tscs37 10y agoCan confirm that 4:3 is the best ratio for portrait. I'm using one of those old SyncMaster monitors from Samsung for displaying Code. Make sure your IDE can hide unnecessary parts of it, like directory view or something, otherwise it gets a bit crunched.
- Nition 10y agoSame! 20.1" SyncMaster 204B, 1200x1600!
