    So I have an HP w2207 monitor that I've recently rotated it from landscape to portrait mode. Since this is a 2007 monitor and without IPS technology, I get colors that aren't the same as if they were in landscape mode.

    If anyone of you have this experience, can you share with me, how you dealt with the issue. I can't but to help tilting my head to the right just to get the correct colors. Ugh!

    Any tips as to how I should be using portrait mode monitors?
    Thanks!

    It's just a feature of TN technology. Only real way to deal with it is to buy a new monitor, with better panel technology. TN panels are still common today because they are the cheapest and "good enough" for most people, especially as gaming monitors.

    My 2 desktops have w2207 and 2448hc+2159m setup, most probably my next choice will be 1, 2 or 3 ZR24w's ( HP ZR24W review - FlatpanelsHD) When I can afford, I'm going to ditch my TN monitors :) They are good as TN and have served me well for years already but I'd still like better.
