Widescreen pivoting LCDs

Hi /comp/

I was wondering about how good rotating LCDs were compared to non-rotating ones, and what kind of possibility they offer, specifically :

-If I can hang the monitors on a wall with some robotic arm and change their orientation and physical positions, I know I'll probably have to change the physical position settings, but the orientation is detected automatically on some LCDs, right? And can I have several physical positionning presets? (Setting 1 : screen 1 up, screen 2 down, etc)

-While it would be awesome for viewing webpages in 1200x3840, how would it work for games and videos (say on a 7600GT)?

-Can I change wallpapers depending on what the current total resolution is?

Ideally, it would be nice to have two wall-suspended rotating widescreen LCDs I can just move around and one moment it's a 3840x1200 setup with a wallpaper of the same size, running office applications all over, and the next it's a 1200x3840 setup viewing a hueg webpage with another wallpaper fitting the resolution.

Am I asking too much for the currently available technology, or is it all possible?

Thanks in advance, I know it's a long read and many questions but I think it's worth knowing.

Screens with built-in orientation sensors require a software client to actually perform the change, and in the case of dual monitors I doubt just running two clients would do the trick - the software would have to be designed with dual pivoting screens in mind. This sounds like quite a long shot, and I doubt any regular monitor comes with a dual display-aware auto-rotate utility. Really, you'd be better off getting a manual monitor rotation utility. UltraMon would probably fill most, if not all, of your requirements there, and has a shedload of other useful features. You could just set up hotkeys for various screen layouts.

And if you're going with a more flexible, manual rotation utility, there's no need to restrict yourself to monitors with pivot sensors - just get any monitors with VESA standard mounts and a couple of pivoting arms/stands.

So that means I could use pivoting arms and two Viewsonic VP930, and have UltraMon to keep track of how my monitors are arranged? Nice. Thanks a lot.
