Vertical Orienation for Apple Cinema Display?

Can any generation of the Apple Cinema Displays be mounted vertically? I’m referring to physically turning the monitor 90 degrees clockwise.


I found a 30” Cinema Display from 2004 on eBay but can’t tell if its stand will allow this. Thank you in advance.

You'll need a custom stand/adapter, but you can rotate the image on your display with these instructions-


  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display Settings.
  2. Select your display in the sidebar.
  3. Click the Rotation pop-up menu and choose how many degrees to rotate the image on your display. In the dialog that appears, click Confirm.


To return your image to its original rotation, click the Rotation pop-up menu and choose Standard.
