I have been using a monitor in portrait for many years and was never bothered by the console being the wrong way (X is rotated of course). In a rare situation where I need the console, I can make use of the laws of physics and turn the monitor upright with my hands and arms. This approach seems to work very reliably. I've never seen it fail.
