Maybe I could have been more descriptive. For vertical games, in MAME, I will rotate the game 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the games will fill up the whole screen. Then, I will rotate the monitor itself so it stands vertically, giving me a larger, properly-oriented image with no black bars on the sides. For horizontal games, since they are already full-screen, I will not rotate them in MAME and I will position the monitor horizontally. If you still don't understand, please let me know.

rotated lcd monitors generally look like garbage.  That is what I meant.

Define "garbage"

Have you ever noticed that when you view an LCD monitor from a higher or lower angle, the color contrast doesn't look so right?  Particularly on most LCDs you'll notice that the contrast seems to plummet when viewed from a low angle.

Well, when you rotate the LCD 90 degrees, this will become all the more apparent as you move slightly to the left or right.  It will undoubtedly drive you batty the longer you play it.
