Portrait-oriented monitors are pretty indispensable to me, ever since I saw somebody using his monitor vertically a couple years ago. Terminal output is more readable vertically, config files are easier too (very short lines), and if you stick to the pretty typical 80 characters for code files, you fit 2x more in the same window. I use a tiling window manager to maximize usability, and go for the old standby tie-fighter monitor configuration. The major loss in most cases is viewing angle, though. It's hard to get somebody to check code with me if it's invisible from their desk.
