Are you by any chance mirroring the internal display to that external?

You can't rotate if you are mirroring. Switch to extended display and it should offer rotation as an option - as shown in the screenshot posted by P. Phillips above.

Thanks , Its working now.
I dint know that rotation works only for extended display 😅


Great.

In old times one could rotate the internal display of a mac laptop, then this capability was removed, years ago.

I don't think many people used their laptops upside down or laying on one side...

My guess is that if we were to rotate a display that is mirroring the internal that would involve rotating the internal as well.
