I tried adding a <code>Option "rotate" "left"</code> line to my xorg.conf file, and it worked as advertised. It looks <em>very</em> weird when everything is flipped on such a big display :-)</p> Steven: it works! I tried adding a Option "rotate" "left" line to my xorg.conf file, and it worked as advertised.

I’m thinking about trying your Asus card but I wonder if xrandr will rotate the display 90 degrees.

Would you try an “xrandr -o left” and let us know if it works with the nvidia drivers? Thanks!

I found your monitor pic perfect for this job. It's not finished yet, but will be in a week or so.</p> Hi Martin,

I found your monitor pic perfect for this job.

Obviously, this involves removing the monitor from the desk. Then use the photo for your desktop. It really works well if you have an outlet, or window frame or something being covered by the monitor as it now shows up as if, at first glance, the monitor is not there. Also helps to remove desktop icons.</p> If you don’t mind a suggestion:

I have to use a laptop for work (what I'm using right now) and it is a pretty dramatic difference. A different world!</p> LOL, that’s exactly what I’m expecting.

Just a quick update to say that I did buy the 3007wfp-HC. It just got here today and I'm IN LOVE! The display is absolutely beautiful and took me all of 2 seconds to get use to how big this thing is. But, it was a loooong two seconds, in which I actually though "What the hell have I done...this is freeking HUGE!".</p> <p>Thanks for your feedback, it did help me mack up my mind, as I have the same graphics card as you. I didn't have to do ANYTHING to get it work. I just unplugged the old monitor, plugged in the new one and and it was instant (over)gratification. Worth every penny! :) Anyway, thanks again for sharing your experience with this monitor.</p> <p>-David</p> Hello again, Martin. Just a quick update to say that I did buy the 3007wfp-HC.
