unless you can find one that has been designed to have the

monitors that they use in airports, and in advertising displays now.

Huh? Can you elaborate a bit on that, Arfa?

Hi Smitty. Lots of the LCD monitors used in airports and train stations
etc, are used in a 'portrait' fashion, and often appear to be pretty
'standard' looking types, turned on their side. You also see them being used
as menu displays, alternated with advertising material, in restaurant
windows. I guess that whatever is driving them may well be producing a
picture that's rotated by 90 deg, rather than the drive being normal, and
rotation taking place in the display. Until you came up with this question,
I'd never really considered the 'mechanics' of how it was being done.
