Rotating monitors
As an early birthday present I got a new 22" monitor to replace the 14" secondary monitor I'd been using for holding Outlook and a text editor. One major reason I bought the Dell Ultrasharp 2208WFP (besides my old one breaking) is that I wanted a monitor that rotates so that I could view an entire text page at once in a normal orientation. Unfortunately, text looked horrible on the rotated monitor. It seems that Clear Type and standard sub-pixel smoothing don't seem to work on rotated monitors. Therefore all text looked jagged and blurry at once. I still might occasionally use the feature for viewing images, but I plan to mostly leave the monitor in landscape so that I can have some usable fonts.
