AFAIK no. That is not the thing that typical bios can do.

It depends on your setup.
For example on my system I could use nvidia-settings, the KDE display settings or xrandr for this.

Maybe the UEFI / BIOS can do this on some laptops but I tend to doubt it ?

If you are outputting via HDMI, try searching on eBay with the phrase "HDMI multiviewer rotate 90" as there are boxes that can do this for a hardware method. Potentially you could set up an Artix computer to take the input and rotate it too! I don't know if there are any settings on the TV to rotate the screen, online info says it should have a hidden service menu which on some Scepter TV's includes an option which can rotate 180, don't know about 90, but service menus also usually include options that will ruin the TV so be careful if you get into that.
