: I have seen in numerous places warnings about mounting monitors in positions other than those in which they were intended (i.e. vertically). Why is this? What is the risk? If it is just a heat problem, couldn't it be taken care of with some cooling fans?

With modern pc monitors it is mostly a heat problem. The monitors I tried did all degauss itself very well without any color distortions left.
But there can be heat problems. Some parts in the monitor can become isolated from the air circulation when in the wrong position...
But, I have my iiyama monitor now in vertical position working for some months now...
