Samsung has shown off a TV that can rotate into portrait orientation:
Samsung has unveiled a TV that switches from a horizontal, landscape-style orientation to vertical - so it can easily display smartphone content. The 43in device is called Sero and comes with an integrated easel-like stand upon which the screen pivots. It will go on sale in South Korea towards the end of May and cost 1.89m won (£1,250).
One TV analyst said it was an interesting concept - but might have limited applications. Sero will come with a microphone and Samsung's virtual assistant Bixby built in. It can also be set up to display photographs, a clock face or other images. Among the content users might choose to watch on it may be a new series of shows by Snapchat, designed for mobile consumption and set to be launched in May.

Pretty impressive wall of text.
My setup: left monitor, portrait, fits the IDE. Second monitor, landscape: email, IM, browser, some terminals, occasionally a rich text editor.
I don't feel the need for more than two monitors and their resolution is below the 4K range.
But then, what do I know?, I'm just engineering some software in a team spread over 5 timezones around the globe, not an ergonomics designer.
