My current client has been gracious enough to provide me with a nice 20", 1280x1024 monitor for my day-to-day use in my luxury office cubicle.

Yesterday, I happened to notice that the monitor can rotate 90 degrees for use in a "portrait" orientation. So on a whim a flipped the monitor and changed my display settings in Windows to match (1024x1280) and...

Holy Crap!

An unexpected productivity boost..

This is really helpful in writing jQuery and HTML markup because I can split the screen in half in Visual Studio  and view jQuery at the top and HTML at the bottom. Then I still have a great deal of screen real estate allocated for each pane.

FTW!
