LG's Award Winning Premium Monitors Designed With Modern Home-Office Workers in Mind
Designed to meet the needs of professional users world-over, LG's newest premium monitors for 2022 will make their debut at LG's CES 2022 virtual press conference on January 4. Both the LG UltraFine Display (model 32UQ85R) and LG DualUp Monitor (model 28MQ780) offer sleek and practical designs, enhanced connectivity and superior user experience for both home and office workers, including creative professionals and programmers. With peerless picture quality, powerful performance, customizability and convenience, it is no surprise that these solutions both took home CES 2022 Innovation Awards.
The new LG UltraFine Display is a professional-quality monitor designed with the needs of art directors, graphic designers, photo/video editors and live streamers in mind. Its 32-inch 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution Nano IPS Black panel boasts a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, ensuring deep blacks and vibrant colors that remain true across a wide viewing angle in various ambient conditions. LG's first Nano IPS Black panel empowers the LG UltraFine Display to deliver realistic and nuanced black tones, adding more depth to images and allowing creators to realize their visions with advanced precision.
To maintain the level of color accuracy required by today's creatives, the LG UltraFine Display comes with a detachable auto self-calibration sensor. Calibration can be easily scheduled via LG's intuitive software, saving users time by performing this critical calibration automatically.
Two is Always Better Than One
A multitasking powerhouse ideal for all kinds of tasks such as content creation and coding, the LG DualUp Monitor features a Nano IPS display with a unique 16:18 aspect ratio - a completely new format in the monitor market. The innovative Square Double QHD (2,560 x 2,880) resolution monitor offers the same screen real estate as two 21.5-inch displays and has a vertical split view function that lets users see more in one glance. Boosting productivity and convenience, the LG 28MQ780 elevates user comfort with the ultra-adjustable LG Ergo stand which saves space as it clamps securely to most desks and tables. The double height screen of the LG DualUp Monitor additionally helps reduce side-to-side head movements, the main cause of neck pain.
"LG's premium monitors for 2022 deliver the picture quality, features and usability that can satisfy the needs of both professional and home users," said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. "These CES Innovation Award winning-products are examples of our commitment to explore new form factors and functionalities to expand and strengthen our flagship monitor lineup."

Is this finally the return of the A-TW polarizer or what?
What's more interesting is somehow LG can get IPS to 2000:1 static contrast now? That's quite the game changer for IPS.
That's the only thing I could find, which is basically nothing.
It would be fun on a 144 Hz unit with HDR1000 with proper local dimming.
I'm kinda wondering if there is practical advantage there, because you have no widescreen so its more single-purpose than a 16:9 with 2560x1440 which offers the same *height*, if you can just rotate it 90 degrees.
You're clearly not a multi-monitor user and don't understand the benefit. I use my 4K display as two 1080p screens in one when I work, as I use two windows side by side. This would be like having two 1440p stacked on top of each other and for work, it's most definitely something I'd consider, depending on the price.
You can not rotate two 1440p screens and get this, I think you're not looking at this right if that's your conclusion, as this is a 16:18 aspect ratio display.
Also, side-by-side allows per-line comparisons, for example for programming. Top/bottom does not.
16:18 is a recipe for shit ergonomics. How are you going to align this monitor top to eye level height? And then prevent bending forward to read the bottom half? And for what reason, so you can 'save space' in desktop width? I get the portrait mode, I get the need for additional height on a widescreen, hence the option to rotate is useful. But 16:18 is neither, really.
And here's another problem. Pixel density versus real estate versus view distance. If you are really splitting this into two windows stacked on top of each other, I doubt 100% scaling is going to be optimal. There is no way you're going to tilt the screen so everything is about the same view distance away from you, another ergonomic workspace conflict, because you're again going to be bending towards your screen if you tilt bottom forward, or get neck strain if you tilt top forward.
I have a height adjustable monitor and still need an extra stand for it to get it to eye level, so not sure how this is shit ergonomics, as at least you won't have to turn your head left and right all the time. The centre of my display is the one area I don't use, which in the case of 16:18 is likely to be more used, since the split wouldn't be in the middle. I guess having started out with 5:4 displays, I'm used to square-ish displays...
Rotating a display tends to mess up all kinds of things, so no thanks. I have never had any real use of doing that, except the odd screenshot.
You seem to have a lot of concerns about issue that aren't really issues imho. No-one will force you to buy one, so...
That said, it's most definitely not for everyone.
The choice for those who need or want such a monitor is also extremely restricted - they can get either a 27-inch 1:1 Eizo or a 28-inch 3:2 Huawei, and the latter doesn't even allow rotation.
Who is going to be the first to serve up a 16:10 or even 15:10 4K monitor. Give me a 32" 3840 x 2400, HD10+, 100% aRGB, 100% DCI-P3, 90Hz monitor, with micro-LED and <5ms GTG and I'm in.
Finally. I've waited 20 years for a decent monitor designed for reading PDF documents, or authoring Portrait A4 documents. And spreadsheets. And news sites... or webforums... more content on one screen without scrolling.
Nice. Sell it to me at a good price.
Your periphery vision is just that though.
