This is the most worthless feature ever.  I cannot think of one single use for this feature.  This lady is in her 60′s and I know full well that she never went into her video display settings and rotated the screen 180 degrees.  She has no idea how to get into that area – so somehow this setting turned itself on…

Just because you can build in a feature doesn’t mean that you really should build that feature.  Even if you build in a feature like this – shouldn’t have have an "Are you sure?" prompt before it becomes a locked setting????
