Press ctrl, alt, and up arrow. That should do it.

Common office practical joke. Turn someones screen upside down.

It's so people who do mostly document work can rotate their monitor through 90 degrees and get a whole page on screen at a good size. Although you don't very often see it used.

We all have three monitors at work, I will have to see if it turns all three round or just one!

It only affects the primary monitor. On a laptop with additional screen connected anyway. (I tried this yesterday).

What happens if you turn one round, then make another one the primary monitor? I wonder if the first one will stay turned?
