This. I've got my laptop screen and two external ones in my companie's office. The external ones are both in portrait because it a) forces me to write shorter lines of code (seriously, sideways scrolling is a pain) and b) you see a ton more of your code/terminal/web app/chat at once. Also makes screenshots of larger bits of content, like listings, a lot easier. I once added the third one with the mindset of "let's try, I can always go back" and never went back lol
EDIT: Wait, are you sporting a Lenovo Legion there? :D
Cool. I also thought about portrait setup, but haven't such holders )
I avoid long strings with ptettier, there is option "print width": 80, if I write longer, it split a string into parts by new lines and indents.
Also sometimes I need width for 3 columns: files list, 2 code files opened, I don't know how it will place on portrait.

Vertical screens are awesome for coding! I used to do that until I bought the two 43 inch ones (110cm), the portrait one is too tall to use the top of the screen in any productive way though (as my intention was to mount BOTH vertically until I realised that 🤣).
Would love to see a pic of your setup and see where you create magic!

No, it is bespoke!
The poor thing is getting old now, but when it was new it was a monster machine!
Overclocked i7, overclocked nVidia 1080, 5TB of storage (1TB on m.2…which cost more than the graphics card back then!). When I used to game on it it sounded like a fighter jet when the fans spun up to try and keep the thing cool! 🤣
Sadly haven’t games for about 3 years, so it is a massively overspecced word processor now 🤣

You just change to stacking them on top of each other if you need to view multiple files, it takes a little getting used to but still works well!
Have to admit though I found side by side better, so a very large landscape monitor became my preference in the end!
