Horizontal and vertical orientation is handled entirely by the game
board; the monitor neither knows nor cares which way the picture is being
generated. (In other words, from an electronics standpoint "horizontal" is
always across the long axis of the monitor and "vertical" is always across
the short axis, regardless of how the monitor is mounted.)
