Same here, have had really bad experience with Samsung displays when rotated to portrait mode. Currently, we have a number of Dell Ultrasharp models (23" and 24" mostly), all of which look good in either orientation. They cost a bit more, but the quality is definitely worth it.

You can tell from the picture that it's a Dell. Probably a U2410.

Yeah it is a Dell U2410. Not sure what they did but it looks just fine rotated.

I also have an older one from 2008 which looks very horrible in portrait mode.
