LCDs are often made to display well from a large horizontal angle, but not a good vertical angle. When you turn it sidewise, that affect can make the screen look funky because your eyes see different levels of brightness. If you get a rotating LCD, make sure it looks good in portrait mode.

It is terrific for me for paper-writing/reading, but I got the idea from google folks, who swear by dual portrait-mode monitors- one for viewing a web page under development; the other for writing code on. xrandr + portrait mode widescreen monitor = WIN.

It was 1440x900, and rotated on end. I sold it because I didn't like it that skinny, but it would have been a useful 3rd monitor to have just for an email client on one end of your desktop. I didn't have the space for that, and I didn't like it so tall and skinny or vice versa. My new ones are a bit squarer. ;) I had a Hanns.G HW192. It was 1440×900, and rotated on end.

I think that's your best bet. A pretty large number of monitors nowadays do the rotate thang, and with xrandr the software should keep up. I think that’s your best bet.
