The correct way to display a vertical video is to send an electric shock to the person is recording it and keep shocking them until they cry themselves to sleep

Would it be possible to make one of these that as well as VGA and HDMI, it would take a composite or SDI feed too? I’ve seen video engineers use them to check incoming signals to a video processor unit I work with. Would be a fun project to build one rather than invest in one
