with this, can I easily swivel the monitor back and forth between landscape and portrait orientations?

No, this monitor arm has no provision to swivel between landscape and portrait.

No, you would have to take the screws out Spin it around And put the screws back inside of it.

I have been using this mount for about 6 mos and I am completely pleased! It goes in any direction I need it to go. I bought one for my son. If any of my kids have a need for it I will buy it again!!

If you want to change from portrait to landscape without any reassembly, you're not going to be able to do it with a 29" monitor. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

You can simply arrange two application windows. The monitor is wide enough to do this easily.

Yes you can. I have the camera & you can swivel the monitor screen front or back. I've not tried to 'shoot myself' but I use the swivel feature when the camera is behind me so I can look back at it to make sure the shot is centered where I want it.

Yes, this rotates easily (although not silently, as it loudly clicks when altering its orientation) between portrait and landscape.

No. They clearly state: "The monitor can be installed in either portrait or landscape mode. The mounting panel cannot rotate to interchange from either of the modes. "UPDATE: now that I installed the unit, I can see why some people say YES, you can rotate the monitor. Although it is possible to rotate the monitor on the single mounting pin in the center of the VESA mounting plate, it probably is not a good idea since it will loosen the connection and cause the monitor to list to one side or the other. It probably is OK to slightly rotate the monitor to level it, but I wouldn't get carried away with rotating it on this single pin.

On my system the right-side up or upside down is controlled and side slew is controlled also by the controls on the monitor. Andyou can reverse the camera.

Yes, the one I have can be rotated to vertical at any time after the monitors are installed.

I have 3 Dell U2413 24" monitors mounted, and could have mounted all in landscape orientation (my orientations: landscape on left, portrait in middle, landscape on right).

No, this monitor does not rotate vertically or horizontally. It's stationary.

I do not see an HDMI port. As to rotating it to portrait, it does not have any way to support it in that position, unless you are a handy carpenter and can do that on your own. I have no reason to do so. I suppose you know the software commands to rotate it in whatever operating system you are using. It does work well in Windows and Debian Linux, if that is useful. The picture is quite good for a budget monitor.

I'll say the same as the first two answers. It depends on how big your CPU is as well as how much you care about the swiveling action. You will be severely limiting yourself to what you can do with it which can hamper things if you need to move and swivel it to accomnodate cables.

You can set it up to do that, but I haven't. I really like using the monitor.

No it can not rotate to portrait orientation. It can just swing back and forth.

You cannot physically rotate the screen on its mount, but if you have an aftermarket one it should be possible. All monitor images can be changed into portrait mode by right clicking on the desktop, clicking "screen resolution", and changing the "orientation" pulldown menu.

No it does not. You would have to move the whole monitor. It just pivots back and forth only.

The short answer is no. In fact you can, but it won't work well. In 'portrait', i.e. long side vertical, the device is rock solid. The device does swivel, so you can rotate the phone to 'landscape', but it uses a tightening screw on the back that becomes easily loose if you either swivel the phone back and forth or with prolonged 'landscape' usage. I tested it for about a week, and what happens is after a while the phone swivels on its own, counterclockwise (so the top of the phone points downwards). To fix, you have to reach behind and painstakingly tighten that screw. It's too fiddly for me.
