Hello!

I recently bought a 27" monitor (dell u2715h) to go with my 15" rMBP. Since the horizontal resolution of the macbook is exactly twice the vertical resolution of me monitor (1440p), I thought it might be a good idea to try and rotate the macbook by 90º, and thus making it a vertical display which would fit my monitor nicely.
Here's the problem: I can rotate the image on the macbook, but when I do so, the resolution gets set to 2880x1800, making it a bit impractical. When I'm using is normally (horizontally), I have it scaled to look like 1200p.
How can I rotate the image, but keep it scaled to 1440 or 1200p?

Thanks :)
