Nowadays, we are seeing new monitors getting launched in the market with a different aspect ratio than the traditional 16:9. For instance, there are 32:9 monitors in the market while Apple’s MacBook Pro now features a 14:9 display.
LG is now going a step further and has launched the LG DualUp Monitor with model number 28Q780, making it the world’s first display to come with a 16:18 aspect ratio.
The LG DualUp monitor isn’t really square in shape but has maintained a width of 2560 pixels. While 32:8 monitors are for replacing the two side-by-side monitor setup, this new 16:18 monitor for LG aims to replace two 2560 x 1440 pixel LCDs placed one above another which is used by creators and coders.
Given that the company is not targeting gamers or media enthusiasts, there’s nothing above average in terms of the display. It comes with a 2560 x 2880 pixels screen resolution, 300-nits brightness, and 1000:1 contrast ratio.
Further, the monitor comes with the standard 60Hz refresh rate and offers a 5ms GtG response time. It only supports 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and the LCD panel also comes with HDR10 support.
It comes with one DisplayPort, two HDMI, and one USB-C input with up to 96W power delivery port. It also supports a vertical split view function that lets users use it with two PCs. There’s also a dual-port USB hub and two 7W speakers co-designed with MaxxAudio.
The LG DualUp monitor is mounted on an ultra-adjustable LG Ergo stand that is securely clamped to a desk and can adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and even pivot. The company has also revealed that it will be available in 2022.
