I just got a second widescreen monitor at work, and I'm planning on setting them up so that I can have Eclipse open on one and Firefox in the other. I
want the Eclipse display to be "normal" screen so I have space for the package explorer and whatnot, but the Firefox display to be rotated 90 degrees for better viewing of list-based web pages (e.g. Stack Overflow, Super User). What's a good way to do this?
Monitor: HP L2245wg (both)
Graphics card: Nvidia Quadro NVS 285

On Windows 10, with Intel graphics:
Method 1:
Right click on the desktop and select 'Display Settings' (or get here from any of the other many ways possible).
Click on 'Advanced display settings' at the bottom.
Click on 'Display adapter properties' at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the 'Intel (r) HD Graphics Control Panel' tab.
Select the display for which you need to change the rotation.
On the 'Rotation' setting, click on the desired rotation option and click ok.
Method 2: (which I just found right after I used Method 1)
Right click on the desktop and select the 'Graphics Options' menu.
Select the 'Rotation' sub menu.
Select the display for which you need rotation to be set in the next sub menu.
Select the rotation option from the final sub menu.
Method 3:
CTRL+ALT+[Arrow Key] works in this scenario as well. Note that this rotates the monitor on which the mouse pointer is on.
