The design of the computer display was originally
based on the landscape shape of the television. We're
accustomed to viewing information on a display that is
wider than it is tall. While the landscape orientation
works for television viewing, it's not well suited for
working with documents.
Since the advent of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you
get) technology, computer document handling has
followed the portrait orientation of the 8.5" x 11" or
A4 paper document standard. Over 70 percent of the
documents computer users work with are in portrait
orientation. Research has shown that over 60 percent
of those users who set up their rotating computer
displays in portrait orientation, keep it there.
For most computer users, the standard computer display
contains a substantial amount of wasted space along
the right-hand side of the display. Since only a few
types of documents call for landscape orientation, the
portrait view makes better use of the desktop space by
allowing you to see and work with more of your
document without constant scrolling.
