Tilting the display by a couple of degrees to make it straight

broberg

@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.

@alborzs
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.

@bhepler :)
@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.
