[Ham-Computers] Using an LCD monitor - upside-down

    Anyone happen to know if an LCD flat-panel monitor can be used 
upside-down without harming it? Here's why.....

    The stand my monitor came with has a leg that protrudes down about 
three inches beyond the screen down to the base that supports it. As 
usually happens, the monitor is just about three inches too high for 
comfortable viewing. Since that lower leg is part of the screen 
assembly, it can't be removed, so that using the wall-mount option on 
the back of the monitor won't actually lower it any. If, however, I turn 
the monitor upside-down, I can lower it the three inches I need. My 
graphics card supports a 180 degree rotation, and my trackball can also 
be "reversed". The only issue remaining is if operating an LCD in that 
position does any harm.

Thanks in advance!
