Some wide-screen monitors have a "rotate" option in the software that comes with the monitor -- you physically rotate the screen 90 degrees, and then Windows will rotate the entire "desktop" so that you now have an "extra-tall' screen, instead of an "extra-wide" screen.

HP: w2408h 24 inch LCD Monitor
Are there any 22-inch or larger monitors that can give me what I want without rotating it.
If you want to view "full-screen" viewing of an 11-inch "tall" page, without "rotating" your monitor, and you want to spend less than $1000, the answer is 'NO'.

It does, but only until you take 5 seconds to adjust the on-screen "font-size", to choose a larger font.
> Is there some resolution number to target when buying the new widescreen models that will provide good resolution and full page viewing and still let me see the actual words without a magnifying glass?
Not really. It's best to operate the LCD monitor at its "rated" resolution, to provide the best appearance and highest legibility of on-screen text.
Note that Windows XP/Vista/7 has a built-in "magnifier" function, controllable via the keyboard/mouse -- no need for a physical magnifying-lens.

There's a fundamental "discord" between a "high-resolution-in-portrait-mode" monitor and a "wide-screen" monitor. But ...
>> if you have the name of a monitor that you hinted may be rather costly but do what I am looking for please let me know.
