I have two Sigma portrait displays. They're lovely. They're identical to the
Apple portrait display, only in a less square package, and I think the
display's a bit crisper, too. On older Macs, they require particular display
cards, but they'll plug straight into most anything newer than a IIci. The max
depth you'll get out of them with built-in video is 16 shades of grey. I've
managed to drive them with a high-end RasterOps card at all the shades of grey
you could ever require, though. There was a PC adaptor available, too. I saw
one a few years ago at an electronics dealer's, still sealed.
Portrait displays are a technology which is sadly extinct nowadays.
Nevertheless, the old PARC machines used such displays, even at a similar
resolution to Apple's. They occupy less space on the table and are ideal for
wordprocessing.
