I rigged up a portrait-orientation stand for a 16:10 monitor back when that was a thing, and although I liked the format for reading text, the non-square subpixels going horizontally instead of vertically really looked wrong. Plus, it was a VA display that had limited viewing angle in the normally-vertical direction, which looked bad when horizontal.

I wonder if these problems are adequately solved by modern high dpi IPS displays
