Can I display a horizontal picture on a 90 degree rotated LCD TV?

lcd picture
RenderMan asked:

I want to use an LCD TV as a display for my computer, the issue is I have to rotate the LCD 90 degrees physically (so the telly will be vertical not horizontal). But I want to display the picture horizontally. I’ll not display a Windows desktop on my LCD, rather I’ll show a video which is of 9×16 aspect ratio and is a perfect fit when the LCD is rotated by 90 degrees. Is there a setting on Windows to do that? Or is there a setting on a graphics card? Do I need to purchase any additional software?

Thanks a lot for your help folks!

    Flip the picture in something like PaintShopPro then rotate the monitor and it’ll save you a lot of hassle.

    yes it is posible and yes it is the graphics card down load the latest drivers for your card
    I have nvidia drivers and can turn my screen 90 > 180 or 270 degrees
    after install the updates you should have a extra icon in your system tray with the rotation setting
