I think that's the point - e.g. Sears Portrait Studios (and other photography stores that do portrait shots) often set their monitors up that way for more vertical real-estate. I was actually doing it here for a bit, but my CRT distorts colours when you put it on it's side. Dunno why - hanging wiring I guess. Wide screen really only makes sense for video I think - I'd rather have the vertical space for web browsing and text.
