Recently I decided to get two new 22" LCD monitors, just for the heck of it (cause I wanted to) and for the first time I went with Samnung instead of my usual Viewsonic, I got the Samsung Syncmaster 226BW and I wanted to use my monitors vertically butafter trying I find that I can't do that. I can rotate the screen on my stand and my Nvidia 8800 will take care of the visual aspect but its that I can't look at the screen. I have to site over to one side or the other to try and get it to "look right" but all I can see, from left to right, is the gradient of the monitor, and what it does to the pictures/anything I look at on screen, I can't stare straight ahead.

So is this typical with all LCD monitors? Or is there something I should have looked for when buying it to kow if it was possible to use them vertically?
