Most people wouldn't use it, but there are certain times when you would. 
  Like some multi-monitor setups have at least 1 monitor mounted upside 
down or backwards... usually where they are combining multiple monitors 
while trying to make the gap created by the monitor's bezel go away. 
There are also times when you come across a projector that is mounted to 
the ceiling upside down (as normal) but it's not configured to project 
upside down, so that setting will save the day.
There are also computer kiosks where the monitor is mounted facing the 
back of the cabinet and you view it via a mirror... it can be upside 
down and/or backward in that case.

You are lore likely to come across a need to turn a monitor 90 degrees 
these days so that documents can be read in authored/read in portrait 
which makes a lot of sense since you tend to read them in portrait when 
they are printed.  Most monitors these days assume you want to watch 
movies on them and are therefore wide.
