LG has now released its expected DualUp monitor – and it comes with some unique features. The LG DualUp monitor was announced during CES 2022 earlier this year and it will sell for $699. The DualUp sports a three-sided borderless design with on-screen control and auto-brightness supported.

The LG DualUp is quite tall with its dual 21.5-inch QHD stacked horizontally. Diagonally, the screen measures 27.6 inches and offers a 16:18 aspect ratio. The new LG DualUp monitor could appeal to content creators and productivity practitioners excitedly. LG’s Nano IPS panel inside the DualUp delivers HDR10 content with a 98% color gamut. Connectivity for the new monitor includes HDMI (2), DisplayPort, USB-A, and USB-C. The USB-C port supports DP video, data passthrough, and 90W PD charging. Audio-wise, there is a headphone jack on the DualUp and two 7W speakers.

The LG DualUp Monitor is capable of simultaneously displaying content from two sources. LG’s sturdy Ergo Stand is part of the package and it can clamp securely to your desk. Several options in terms of the height and viewing angle are supported. These include height adjustment, swiveling, pivoting, and tilting.

The dual display, HDR10 graphics, and several other features make the DualUp Monitor quite versatile. Its price tag of $699 is also seen as a fair bargain in some quarters. The LG DualUp monitor can be purchased directly from LG’s website.

LG DualUp monitor announced with an ultra-tall 16:18 aspect ratio

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.
