Apart from that, though, there's a fairly simple LEGO solution... the 'L'
shaped plate (the one with a 2x2 area on both sides of the bend) will change
the orientation of either kind of monitor, and is easily used in most cases.

  That's pretty cool.  If you have the space to implement it, it would work

Still not a substitute for just plain ol' having the piece, though.
