pivoting monitor

I bought. a new Samsung monitor that has a pivoting capability. After purchasing it and setting it up, a Samsung support rep informed me that I must go into the OS settings and manually change the monitor orientation to make the screen image rotate. I do not see any such setting option. Does anyone have a solution?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

How do I find the screen rotation option in apple ventura 13.5 When I follow the guide (i.e. using option key along with display), I don't get a 'rotation' option. If I search for it then I get a 'ghost' rotate icon, but I can't click on it. How can I rotate my external monitor?

Can Any Monitor Be Used In Portrait Mode? I have a Dell display (s2421nx, 24-inch, 1920x1080) that I'd like to use as a second monitor for the Mac Studio I just ordered, but I'd like to use it rotated to portrait mode. This particular display does not support portrait (pivot) according to Dell, and the stand it comes with does not pivot. I was wondering if MacOS, or the Mac Studio, support rotating a display (other than the Studio Display). Or if there is a 3rd party solution. Is this a possibility?

How do you Rotate the Studio Display? How do you rotate an Apple Studio Display? This setting used to be in the display settings, and still is from what I can see on other displays. It looks like it’s removed specifically for Apple displays. I can even rotate my Samsung display in the usual fashion, just in Display Prefs. But with my Apple display it is just not there. Photos below with shots of prefs. I saw recommendations for a synaptics app but that seems to be a scam/spam comment. Unless someone can SHOW me how to do this with that app. Can you truly not rotate a $1500 display when I could go buy one for $100 and do it? I feel crazy here. Please someone help.

Hi,

Connect the display to the MacBook Pro, then you can see display preference rotate display option on the external display to change degree angle of the display.
