Changing the Rotation of Your Monitor

Before you rotate the monitor, your monitor should either be vertically extended (Vertical Extension) or titled (Tilt) to avoid hitting the bottom edge of the monitor.

In locked/down position tilt upwards, so that lower edge of monitor clears the stand and then rotate the monitor clockwise until the monitor stops at 90 °.

In the extended position rotate clockwise until the monitor stops at 90 °. 

	NOTE: To take advantage of the "Display Rotation" function (Landscape versus Portrait view) an updated graphics driver is required for your Dell™ Computer not included with this monitor. Please download the graphics driver from support.dell.com and refer to the "download" section for "Video Drivers" for latest driver updates.
	NOTE: When in "Portrait View Mode", you may experience performance degradation in graphic-intensive applications (3D Gaming etc.)

Rotating Your Operating System 

After you have rotated your monitor, you need to complete the procedure below to rotate your operating system.

NOTE: If you are using the monitor with a non-Dell™ computer,  you need to go the graphics driver website or your computer manufacturer website for information on rotating your operating system.

1. Right-click on the desktop and click Properties.
2. Select the Settings tab and click Advanced.
3. If you have ATI, select the Rotation tab and set the preferred rotation.
   If you have nVidia, click the nVidia tab, in the left-hand column select NVRotate, and then select the preferred rotation.
   If you have Intel, select the Intel graphics tab, click Graphic Properties, select the Rotation tab, and then set the preferred rotation.

NOTE: If you do not see the rotation option or it is not working correctly, go to support.dell.com and download the latest driver for your graphics card.
