      @alborzs it probably is possible, but it will look terrible, if not blurry it will create artifacts.

        I think your best bet is do remount your display to be square. As @broberg said, if you can do it, it won’t look very good due to the nature of the line up of the pixels. Small text will probably be un-readable.

          I rotated my screen from landscape to portrait using custom.css.
          Cannot find the topic in this forum, but this is the body in my custom.css file:

          body {
            margin: 0;
            position: absolute;
            transform: rotate(-90deg);
            transform-origin: top left;
            width: 100vh;
            height: 100vw;
          
            object-fit: cover;
            top: 100vh;
                  visibility: visible;
           }
          

          Perhaps you give it a try with different degrees in the rotate() parameter.

            This reminds me of a joke.

            Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
            A: None. It’s a hardware problem.

            A: None. Just tell the software engineers to code around it.

              @evroom Thanks, I will give that a try. It is just such a beautiful installation I don’t wanna mess with it now. All the cable management, everything is perfect. I curse myself for mounting the display every time I am in front of the mirror

                You know what, @evroom s solution might just work.

                Tried it and it isn’t half bad, it gets blurry, but not overly so. (disclaimer, tried this on a 24" 1440p display)

                body {
                transform: rotate(0.2deg);
                transform-origin: top left;
                }

                  @broberg @evroom , thanks guys. That is exactly what I needed.
                  -1 degree of rotation and it is perfect now.
