      I just completed my first Magic Mirror set up and I have 24" LED monitor with 1920x1080 Resolution. How do I set up my Pi3+ so i can flip the monitor and use vertically? Currently, I build everything as Horizontally, but now i would like to make it vertically.
      Any help greatly appreciated.

        I use this:

        pi@MagicPi:~ $ grep rotate /boot/config.txt
        display_hdmi_rotate=3
        

        The number can be different depending on how you turn it.
        I have the bottom on the left side, if you understand what I mean.
        Turned it clockwise.
        When turning, take care of the viewing angle.
        My monitor has a rather poor viewing angle, especially from the bottom, so now on my left.
        I need to look at the Mirror frontal or from the right (not too much though).
        But luckily this setup works for me.
        I did not purchase a IPS panel, as it uses more power than regular TFT, having it turned on for several hours a day.

        There was a new thread in the last days, explaining how to do it via css, but personally did not try it yet.

          Looks like this is a better option.
          Will give it a try myself.
