Title: Message

Christian

They used to be called mercury switches

They just give out a contact closure when at the right angle

And would do exactly what we want

I suppose it would be easy enough to sense this and fire off the relevant hot key press

All we need now is some sort of widget that sticks to the back of the LCD monitor that detects via a reed switch(?) landscape or portrait orientation and automatically changes the software. I would pay $$$ if someone could come up with something.

I'm sure that I will. My current monitor is an Iiyama, and I've been really happy with it. My cleaner's daughter is going to be very happy on Thursday evening (she's only got a 15" monitor at the moment, and I'm giving her the outgoing 17" CRT).

 

To be honest I could have bought cheaper, but I wanted a USB hub plus the portrait option, and I knew that with Iiyama I'd be buying quality.

I can tell you who the purchase goes, 'cos I've already done that bit J

 

If I'm lucky and it arrives tomorrow I can tell you what the monitor's like though J
