Is your monitor landscape or potrait?   [Edit]

Survey period: 30 Jan 2012 to 6 Feb 2012

Monitors are usually oriented with the width longer than the height. Yet we work with long, narrow documents. Does this make sense?

Where is last option, "Depend on work to do"

Landscape :
Good for developer, they get more space to read and debug the code. basically for visual studio environment, landscape mopnitors are good choice.

Portrait:
Good for people who works on documentation, excel data, sprade sheets.
Since only a few types of documents has landscape orientation, the portrait view makes better use of the space by allowing you to see and work with more of your document without constant scrolling

surely, it's Depend on work to do
Rating always..... WELCOME

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
