Device and method for automatically rotating the orientation of the display output of a computer monitor in response to a change in the physical orientation of the computer monitor. The device attaches to a computer monitor that is connected to a computer. The device detects changes in the physical orientation of the computer monitor by polling (i.e., repeatedly pinging) a physical orientation detector/sensor. The device may comprise an accelerometer, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and/or a gyroscope. When a material change in the physical orientation of the monitor is detected (a material change being a difference in orientation that exceeds a predetermined threshold), the device sends instructions to the computer to change the orientation of the computer monitor's display output. The instructions may be sent wirelessly or over a wired connection. The instructions sent to the computer may be tagged with an identification code that uniquely identifies the computer monitor.
