LG Unveils a Weird ‘Productivity Powerhouse’ Double-Height Monitor

LG has announced two new monitors that it says are optimized for professional creatives in the new normal of work from home. One of these new displays is a weird, double-height monitor that it says is for a "totally unique user experience."

LG is announcing two new IPS-style monitors, one of which is the more traditional UltraFine variety and will feature a 31.5-inch size and color accurate specifications, and the other is an unusual new display that features a double-height widescreen aspect ratio called the DualUp. Let's start there.

The LG DualUp Monitor (28MQ780)

The LG DualUp is exactly what it looks like: the equivalent of two widescreen displays stacked on top of each other into one large, nearly square monitor. LG is billing the DualUp as a "multitasking powerhouse" that is ideal for everything from coding to content creation. It has a unique 16:18 aspect ratio which the company says is completely new to the monitor market. The company says it offers the same display space as two 21.5-inch displays.

While it can be used as one giant uninterrupted display, it comes with a vertical split view feature as well. It features two HDMI ports, a display port, 3 USB ports (one upstream and two downstream), as well as a USB-C port that can be used for display or power delivery (the specifics on the latter were not stated).

LG adds that the double-height screen size of the DualUp helps reduce side-to-side head movements, which it says is the main cause of neck pain.

While LG says the display is going to be good for content creation, its specifications are likely a bit lacking for most creative professionals. While it does offer a lot of additional desktop real estate, it isn't being offered at a particularly high resolution, however. The DualUp has a relatively lacking pixel density of just QHD 2,560 by 2,880.

While LG claims it covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, it doesn't offer much contrast and will max out at just 300 nits of brightness. 300 nits is particularly low and isn't even high enough for the lowest tier of HDR certification, HDR400 ( PetaPixel still contends that HDR isn't really HDR until at least 600 nits of peak brightness can be achieved). Still, the 27.6-inch display looks particularly well-tailored for work from home, which is likely to make it popular if its price isn't too high.

The LG UltraFine Display (32UQ85R)

The LG UltraFine 31.5-inch display is less exciting than the odd aspect ratio of the DualUp, but it's very likely to be far more useful for photographers. For starters, it features a much more robust 4K UHD 3,840 by 2,160 resolution Nano IPS Black panel with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It's LG's first Nano IPS Black panel (but not its first Nano IPS panel) which the company says delivers realistic and nuanced black tones that add more depth to images.

The monitor ships with a detachable self-calibration sensor that can be scheduled via LG software. It also features two HDMI ports, a display port, 3 USB ports (one upstream and two downstream), as well as a USB-C port that can be used for display or power delivery (the specifics on the latter, just as was the case with the DualUp, were not stated).

LG plans to reveal more details on both monitors, likely including pricing and availability, during its CES 2021 presentation on January 4 at 8 AM PST.

LG Launches New Versions of its Color-Accurate Pro OLED Monitors

LG has announced that it is updating its color-accurate UltraFine OLED Pro monitor line with a few new features and is also adding a new 27-inch size option to accompany the previous 32-inch version.

LG new OLED Pro models follow the last year's launch of the $4,000 32EP950, which brought a 1,000,000 to one contrast ratio, true 10-bit color, and 99% reproduction of both the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color spectrums. The new models stick to those promises and continue to offer the OLED technology's greatest strengths: pixel-level control for extreme color fidelity, outstanding contrast, and the complete lack of halo or bloom on bright objects set against dark backgrounds. OLED displays don't have a backlight like other LCD displays, but instead each pixel is independently controlled and can be turned off and on at that level. That means that blacks can be truly black in addition to the extreme control over lit objects the displays allow. Response time, that is the time it takes the display to show commands or mouse movements, is also nearly instantaneous: LG's new monitors boast just 1 millisecond of response time.

OLED displays are classicly thin, and that doesn't appear to change here either. LG says that the UltraFine OLED Pro displays are both thin and lightweight, and the included stand attaches securely to the rear of the display through a one-click mechanism that allows for the adjustment of height, pivot, and tilt.

The 2022 update adds two new features in addition to the smaller 27-inch screen availability. First, the displays now ship with a self-calibration sensor. LG says that the calibration sensor measures the light emitted from the display at times predetermined by the user and automatically makes the necessary adjustments to maintain a high degree of color accuracy and consistency. LG is also including a monitor hood with this time, which the company says allows for even more color and image accuracy by preventing distracting reflections or glare from external light sources.

The hood might be especially useful because OLED displays aren't terribly bright in order to prevent pixel burn out which leads to what most people describe as "burn in." The two UltraFine OLED Pro displays are only rated for HDR 400, which means a peak brightness that won't necessarily exceed 400 nits. The refresh rate of the display also maxes out at 60Hz, which means LG focused on picture quality rather than speed, making this display more squarely a professional tool than one that would be popular for gaming.

Both of the new display sizes offer the same number of ports as the 2021 version and include a USB-C with power delivery of up to 90 watts, a standard USB for upstream, plus three more for downstream, an HDMI port (likely 2.0 but it isn't specified), and two Display Ports.

LG hasn't announced pricing for the two new displays, but expect similar to what the company is asking for the 2021 version of the 32-inch display: $4,000. The UltraFine OLED Pro should be available to purchase starting in January.
