PURPOSE: A display/monitor with orientation dependent rotatable image is provided to present a properly oriented image in a first mounted fold-down position, a second up-right table-top position and a third portrait mode position CONSTITUTION: A display folds up into a base unit when not being used for compact storage of the system. An orientation determining device is included for determining the current orientation of the display and properly orienting the image based on that current orientation. The orientation determining device is either a mechanically flipped switch, an automatic switch or an acceleration sensor. A display screen is preferably an LCD screen. Alternatively, the display screen is a light valve type display including a grating light valve system. A display is for use in a television system, computer system, video phone or browser. Infrared input devices are used to control the display and provide data to the computer system. In an alternate embodiment, a touch sensitive screen is also used as an input device.
