quick question about lcd's

[memory]

I was just wondering if you turn an lcd monitor upside down or even sideways, would it do any damage to it?

No. Dont thinks so.
There are programs (I know nvidia drivers do it, not sure about ATI) that allow you to rotate your screen so you can have it in portrait mode.

Nah... It'll be just fine. As you may know, some stands are made so you can rotate the screen. I know I've turned my old CRT on it's side before for a Dreamcast game. The screen slowly began changing to this pinkish color if I remember correctly. Weird stuff, but no damage done. Again, that was a CRT, not an LCD...

One thing that struck me, but shouldn't be a real problem...be sure it's well ventilated. As you know, heat rises, and most have vents on the top. If it's sideways or upside down, it may not get the cooling it needs.

Why would you turn it upside-down?

edit: Oh yeah, and here you go: http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/s...atalogId=10051&productId=142074&cmArea=SEARCH

30 bucks. It only rotates 90º for portrait mode, but you could always mount the monitor upside-down.

If'n that's your thing.
