Yay, no checkbox controversy this way :)

I would suggest swapping order though:

[ ] Enabled
[ ] Primary

Because I assume "Enabled" will disable everything.

One potential problem with the Plasma monitor is light glares are going to be 
all messed up if the screen is rotated, especially the one on the screen 
itself. Maybe something along the line of attached mockup would fit? (only, 
drawn by an artist) The led is a cue about the orientation of the screen (and 
you can use a dimmed one if the screen is disabled).
