How to Rotate the Screen on a Monitor

With the increased multipurpose use of computer monitors, many users may need to rotate the screen to better accommodate picture displays. Fortunately, screen rotation can be achieved in just a few basic steps if you're running the latest versions of Windows with a Nvidia video card.

Instructions

1. Right-click on your computer's desktop and select "Personalize." This will open a new window entitled "Personalization."

5. Click on "Rotate Display," located underneath the "Display" heading.
