LG 28MQ780-B 28 Inch SDQHD (2560 x 2880) Nano IPS DualUp Monitor with Ergo Stand, DCI-P3 98% (Typ.) with HDR10, USB Type-C (90W PD) - Black

I have been dreaming for ages of finally having an upgrade to my old 1280x1024 monitors that still has a square aspect ratio, while still being better in terms of resolution and/or color depth. I had wanted one in 2560x2048, to be twice the resolution. This is even better than that: It can not only contain that resolution, but has an even squarer aspect ratio than 5:4, at 8:9. Furthermore, it has a high color depth, which makes it even better for doing Blender work. It is perfect for watching video in whatever orientation you want, as it is huge in both directions. Anything wide/narrow, and you will have a lot of unused screen space, but even then it's fantastic for watching anything with subtitles without having the subtitles cover the video. It's great for scrolling literally anything as well. And for vertical video, it's absolutely unmatched. It is also wide enough that the black bars aren't really bothersome at all; it's basically the same width as you'd otherwise get with a shorter monitor. The monitor mount is a bit limiting, in that it can only be installed on a normal desk that you can mount it on from behind. It's definitely NOT a portable monitor whatsoever, requiring very careful installation ever time it's moved. It does, however, work great at being ergonomic, as is the intention. I lean it a bit down as it's so crazy tall it can be hard to clearly read the top of the screen otherwise! It is extremely bright on even 40% brightness compared to my Dell 1907FPV monitors from 2007 that I use alongside it. I'm not sure this is a really high bar though. Refresh rate is 60 hz and only 60hz. This monitor is definitely better for still-image creative work than anything you'd want something higher than that; even my 1907FPVs, able to do 75hz, can beat the frame rate. This monitor, being a modern one with thin bezels, probably isn't even close to the durability of my 1907FPVs. I have, however, treated it extremely carefully, so it hasn't had much time to have its durability tested. The factory condition out of the box, however, is utterly impeccable. I have not noticed a single, tiny flaw in the finish or pixels of this monitor. It is, truly, NEW in every way, unlike some other products I have bought which end up with minor flaws. There is NO seam in the middle of the monitor, as I was initially worried about before buying this. It can be used exactly as a 2560x2048 monitor with a bunch of extra on top with no issue whatsoever. It's a HUGE monitor with basically nothing designed for its aspect ratio, so you can put the windows pretty much wherever and with any dimensions and still have it work pretty equally well. In any dimension at all (also in resolution!), it's bigger than most other monitors I have used. It is also utterly fantastic for very large screenshots as it can contain an absolutely massive amount of text, especially for long, vertical documents. I really hope that LG continues to make this fantastic monitor! It has been my dream monitor for a very long time and I intend to buy 2 more of them to replace my 1907FPVs whenever I have a bit more money spare.

I rarely leave reviews, but I've had this monitor for about 2 years now and just wanted to say it's perfect. I used to use 3 monitors for work and 3 monitors for personal use (gaming mostly, with some productivity and watching shows). Using this monitor, I was happily able to consolidate everything onto one 3 monitor L-shaped desk setup, where the short arm has my Macbook Pro and a 34 inch ultrawide mounted for work and the long arm has a 42" inch OLED TV that I use for a monitor for gaming and everything else. In the corner of the L, I have this LG monitor mounted. It's shared between the two setups and works *seamlessly*. It's roughly the same height as the 42" inch TV as well so aesthetically they flow together. What prompted me to write this review was sitting down at my desk just now, checking my emails on my Macbook, closing it, and swiveling over to my personal computer where the monitor automatically registered which computer was on and started showing content from it. I didn't do anything to set this up, and it may be a simple thing, but I've been working on PCs for over 20 years now and it feels like nothing ever works this well. The monitor itself is also fantastic, very clear and crisp for IPS. No real complaints. I personally would not use the DualUp as my primary monitor because the refresh frate is 60hz, which even for productivity I find a bit lacking these days, but I'm also kind of a display snob. However, for a secondary monitor it's absolutely perfect for having web browsers and chats up. The Windows 11 snap functionality they've been perfecting over the last few OS generations works perfectly with this as well, letting you to snap windows into either the 4 corners, above and below each other so it works like two stacked 27 inch monitors (which was my old setup, or in a few different orientations that I personally feel work with this aspect ratio better than 16:9 and 21:9. If you're on the fence, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

LG DualUp's unique form factor pairs with 42 inch displays for a perfect triple monitor setup. The ASUS PG42UQ (uses an LG C2 OLED panel) has the same screen height, same matte coating, matching borders and both share the same resolution scale on mac. Moving windows between screens feels exactly the same size and dpi: - The LGs are set to 1440p at 2x dpi, both connected with the 1m+ provided usb-c cables. One of them powers my Macbook by USB-C (96W). The DualUp also acts as KVM so when I switch to the PC input my logitech unifying dongle and usb headset auto switches computers. - The ASUS is set to 1440p at 1.5x dpi (Mac OS renders it to 5K then scales it down by half so it looks sharp on 4K). - I combined all monitors in Mac OS midi to create a multi-output sound device, sounds amazing for general purpose. - LGs color temperature adjust with the OS night time settings, automatic brightness works well, and colors look great out of the box. *My computers: - Macbook Pro 14 (M1 Max) - Windows PC (3080Ti)

Very practical

Excelente compra! Este monitor me ayuda a poder tener pantallas adicionales y no forzar tanto la vista así como poder trabajar en diferentes pestañas a la vez. Muy fácil de conectar con cualquier computadora. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, llevo más de un año usándolo y sigue perfecto

Este es un excelente monitor para casi todas las tareas, si eres programador lo vas a amar, mas sin embargo si lo quieres para gaming con una PS5, no te recomendaria que lo compraras ya que la gama de color es malisima, incluso estando en la pantalla de inicio, los colores no se pueden ajustar y se ven pesimos en comparacion a una TV, fuera de eso es estupendo para las tareas cotidianas, mas sin embargo para la proxima vez me compraria un monitor curvo.

It's a very useful display. For normal use. Office use work from home, programers designers. Even for normal games. Tried with PS4.
