I own a Panasonic VP930B 19" monitor which is designed to work in either 
landscape or portrait mode. I bought it to do just what the op wants, 
but I never did that, because:

1: I never figured out how to make the computer do that, and

2: I don't have room for two monitors on one computer, altho this 
VP930B, rotates, so you could use just the one

3: I now have a 27" monitor and it's "good enough" for what little 
editing I do anymore

SO, anyone who lives on Long Island, NY, (Suffolk County) and could make 
use of it, may have it for free. Write to (dmcgarrett) (at) (optonline)  
(dot)  (net) for further information

I will not ship.
