Rotate MacBook Display Orientation

[Geek]

<p>The same way that you <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/28/rotate-mac-screen-orientation/">rotate screen orientation on a display connected to a Mac</a> can be done with the built-in display of a MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air (pictured). </p>

<ul>

<li>Launch System Preferences (quit it if it’s already open)</li>

<li>Hold down the Command+Option keys and click on “Display”</li>

<li>Look for ‘Rotation’ on the right side of the Display window and take your pick</li>

</ul>

<p>After the display has been rotated, the resolutions adjust from width x height to height x width. Here’s a screenshot taken with the display on a MacBook Air set at 90° rotation:

<p>If System Preferences is already open then holding down Command+Option doesn’t seem to make the Rotatation menu appear. If you run into that, just quit out of System Prefs and relaunch it.</p>
