Intrigued. Was just mirroring my phone on the TV to play some games and wished there was landscape options. Asian social media is also experimenting with short vertical shows designed for Gen Z. Also build in stand seems useful. That's 1 less piece of furniture to move.
This would also be excellent for many arcade games (and many faithful arcade ports) that were originally designed for arcade cabinets using a portrait orientation.
My first thought is playing some classic Ikaruga, but there’s heaps more games (not just shootem ups) out there that are better in their original portrait mode.
Edit: in case anyone is curious why this would be better than a normal screen on a stand that can rotate. It’s because the majority of screens are not designed with significant vertical viewing angles, so when rotated they become visually less appealing for people to gather round and enjoy like the classic crt screens of old arcade machines.
