With a delta gun tube, you most definitely mess up the convergence if
you turn the monitor around. Colour TVs/monitors using such CRTs had
to be set up in the position they were to be used.
Certainly, but your comment suggested that it wouldn't be possible to make that
adjustment. That's what I disagreed with.

No they aren't. If that were true they would mess up if you turn them (horizontally)
90 degrees, or move from Canada to Equador.
Landscape monitors work fine as portrait for me when I turn them on their
side.
You may have problems converging a colour CRT, particularly an in-line
gun type, if you do that. They are designed for the earth's magnetic
field to come in a particular direction.
