I only have the luxury of 2 monitors (both at work and at home). But my Visual Studio setup is just like yours: Coding on the portrait and debug windows and Solution explorer, toolbox, etc. in landscape. Once you switch to this, using one monitor lone seems very inconvenient.

I have 2 of those illuminated keyboards. I love them. I bought a second one to use with my laptop.

Do you see through the cat, or does the cat see through you?!
All of my software is powered by a single Watt.

Hey, your cat is in portrait - mine are normally in landscape...

Is a portrait screen for people who want really long methods, and like text wrap or for people who have a *giant* monitor and a long neck (two landscape monitors, stacked).

There is no way it can sensibly be answered by "BACON".
For proof, it has been here all day and Nagy hasn't found a way yet.

They are talking about the classic 4:3 monitors. But I think you know this.
I preferred them for coding. New is not always better.

Wow, I've never heard anyone call them square monitors.

My old 21" CRT monitor was pretty much square. Almost exactly in fact, IIRC.
Bl**dy heavy too.

No, it's a "don't take drugs, don't drink, don't dance" thing.

it's something that you would only see in a very small, select part of England. The land where people still know "up" from "along"...
My logic is impeccable; my arithmetic lets me down.

One is a wide-screen landscape for most work, and the other is a wide-screen set to portrait. It is very handy, being able to switch between the two as needed.

Same with me. One screen is for coding, second is for database + larger things to read like howto etc. The best combination.

Some how a square monitor looks pleasant to me
Then comes landscape and the last thing I prefer is portrait as I do not want to roll my eyes up and down
But hey it's just ME

Everything is wide screen these days. Good for watch movies and playing games, bad for work (at least for coding)
