Can I mount a flat screen HDTV vertically?

I'm looking to replace a conference room projector with 1080p 52 "HDTV. Almost everything what we see there are websites designed for 1024×768 screen. If I mount the TV normally, I get the 1386×768 pixel resolution, but a good amount of screen space be wasted. I really want to run it at 1920×1080, but rotate the screen 90 degrees, so that we would all the width of the height, but much larger. Can I wall mount 52 "LCD or plasma TV that way? Better yet, there is a rotating assembly can use, so could change the landscape and portrait? I have not found anything just yet. I know that my video card supports, as we have a rotation of 24 "display connected to the computer. I am more concerned if there is any physical problem with the vertical mounting – that is, will put undue stress on the back of the TV?

Most video cards support the rotation through the menus, and I've seen a lot of small LCD, I'm not sure that is possible.
