We tried to replicate the issue on our workhorse MacBook Pro (13-inch 2015 model, running The author’s brother did this but then found his MacBook (12-inch 2016 model, running macOS Sierra) became completely unusable: “It’s gone into a loop of glitch screens and crashes… I can’t see anything on the screen, so can’t get into System Preferences to change it back, then it crashes.” My rotated MacBook screen has gone black! Some people have found that while rotating the screen on a MacBook can be achieved by holding down Alt and Cmd while selecting Displays from System Preferences, this then causes serious problems afterwards. So we also explain in the MacBook section of this article why we don’t recommend rotating a laptop’s built-in screen. (Then again, there aren’t a lot of situations in which you’d want to.) For those who are desperate to rotate a MacBook’s built-in screen we have found a workaround that works, but it has side effects, sometimes causing a persistent minor problem (for which we have a fix) and on at least one occasion that we are aware of, a much more serious problem for which we do not have a fix. Fortunately this part of the process is very straightforward, and we walk through this process below.īe aware that not all monitors can be rotated, and in our experience this works better for external monitors than for the built-in display of a laptop. Physically, turning round the display is obviously just a question of accessing the screen mount and rotating it if this is possible, but you’ll also need to access the software settings and tell macOS (or Mac OS X) to output the graphics in a view that’s rotated 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise (or even 180 degrees, if for some reason you want to use your display upside-down).
