"Hi this is Double Agent Arce with the Geek Squad. Today I am going to show you how to rotate your computer monitor. Now the first thing you want to do is make sure that your computer monitor actually supports rotation so what you want to do is kind of hold it by the edges and give it a little tug to the right. If the monitor rotates and the base stays flat your monitor will support the rotation but if the base moves then you may want to replace your monitor with one that rotates. Now the next step here is to make sure that your cables have a little bit of slack because once the monitor is rotated the cables will adjust as well and so you want to make sure that when you rotate the monitor your cables will be o'kay. The next step is to change the angle on the computer so what you want to do is right click anywhere on the desktop and go to personalize our properties. Often times there will be a display settings in there and you can go in there and in the event settings will allow you to change the rotation of the monitor. So we are going to go ahead and do that right now. We are going to rotate it to the right and click apply. Now you will see the monitor is rotated on the screen, now all we have to do is flip it around and once you have got it there you can click on yes, it will save the settings and your monitor is now rotated. If you need any help with that just feel free to give us a call at 800 Geek Squad."
