       PSA: If you have a very wide monitor [portrait], you also (potentially!) have a very tall monitor [landscape] :aMarxParty: *Somehow I had managed to forget this, in spite of using a vertical monitor for many years in the Before Times

       @aetios Thanks for spotting my mistake - fixed!My monitor (Samsung M8) doesn't actually have a VESA mount, however someone managed to design a 3D printed adapter that plugs into the proprietary mount point for the normal Samsung monitor stand. This was great because it meant I could use the screen with a VESA monitor arm at the height that was most comfortable for me, but you're quite right about the need to be careful - it did feel a bit rickety and I haven't really moved it around very much.I thought the VESA adapter might be a weak point for vertical orientation, but it has been fine so far. On the other hand, the plastic monitor backing plate assembly did bulge alarmingly due to stresses when the screen was put in orientations that the designers clearly hadn't anticipated. Luckily this doesn't seem to be a problem when it's in near-vertical (portrait!) mode and resting gently on my desk.Still don't quite understand how I managed to use this monitor for nearly four years before I thought of trying it in vertical orientation. Anyway, it's good! :blobfoxwink:
