This idea sounds nice. How big is your monitor?
I just tried turning my monitor vertical. My initial impression is this left me with very little space with which to read text; and felt like it'd hurt my neck if I were to look up to the top of the monitor. I did get to see more content vertically. (A bigger monitor would alleviate the former but exasperate the latter).

- wongarsu 3y agoI use a 24" 1440p screen. On a 1080p monitor (or 4k at 200% scaling) there isn't a lot of width left if you turn it, and if you go for more pixels than 2560x1440 (at 100% scaling) the text gets too small on a 24".
- dkersten 3y agoMy main monitor is 31.5” and my portrait monitor is 27”. My main is raised maybe 10” above my desk and set up so its center is approx. my eye height, while the portrait monitor is on the desk (so it’s bottom is lower, but it’s too is about the same as the other monitor) My main monitor is 1440p, I think the other is only 1080p and the lack of horizontal resolution is one reason I don’t use it for code, but I find it works well for slack and documentation. I occasionally use it for code too (eg unified diffs) but mainly I use the main monitor for code. Maybe one day I will replace it with a higher resolution one and then I might use it for code more.
