Be aware of scaling
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great monitor. I own a 24 inch asus proart 16:10 but needed another 3 inches verical. This added about 6 inches vertical if turned to portrait. Slightly more than i needed, a little bit more stress on eyes and a bit more mouse movement but it works very well for my type of work. What might be a bigger problem for some of us is scaling. Citrix users beware. You'll have to do things in an a relatively complicated roundabout way. Multiple monitor users expecting to be able to use LG's split screen software also be wary. The software works great on a single monitor. I use two monitors and the software seems a bit jumpy. I decided to turn it off. NOTE: my secondary lg monitor is not offically supported by the app. The arm is high quality. The picture sharpness is very good for text. I have no clue about color accuracy as it is not my area of expertise. Recommend for specific use cases. If you're seriously considering paying over 700 after tax for this then you probaby fall into the category of person who should buy this. If you break down the price it's probably 200 for the arm (The Dell arm is probably the equivalent) and 500 for the monitor itself. Again, be aware of potential scaling issues.

good monitor but there's a catch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a gaming monitor, but great anyway for productivity or watching 2 widescreen videos from 1 monitor. I'm using this monitor as a 2nd monitor to watch 2 things..Top for Twitch stream and bottom for anything like Youtube or live news. so here's the thing..You can watch two 16:9 videos from this monitor on top and bottom of screen and still look big (equivalent to 2x 21.5-inch stacked up). You can either have 1 input at 16:18 ratio or 2 inputs and display both on top and bottom of screen. But there's a down side...You can't have 60 hz refresh rate if you have 2 different inputs in 1 screen. They will be 30 hz each. Unless u lower the resolution below 1920x1080 for each input. Minus 1 star for this.

So close to being a perfect productivity monitor!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to try this since LG showed it off at CES. I found an open box model and picked it up in my search for a work monitor. Honestly, it is a very cool display albeit a little tall for my liking (I find dimensions closer to that of a 32” to be better on the vertical end). Image quality is fantastic as there’s no aliasing, contrast is good, and black levels are deep. Scrolling top to bottom has a little bit of drag and there’s no over drive option that I can find for the panel. PBP with a Mac is a horrible experience, but that’s partly due to the way the Mac handles window transitions from display to display. The other problem with this is that 21.5” screens are way too small for QHD resolution and that’s a shame. This would be better if the height were 32” Diagonal and 23.5” per split. Honestly, I find that rotating the display 90 degrees is a much better viewing experience when using the full screen as it gives you about an inch less height and things aren’t as tight horizontally. Unfortunately LG didn’t think about this use case as their OSD and tools are pinned in a single spot and do not rotate with the display. As for the ergo stand, I wish it were blue to collapse a little more, because it would be nice to have space back when doing other things. Oh and the final piece, the speakers are awesome on this thing! Much better than any Samsung I’ve tried that’s for sure. Overall, it’s a nice little display and the ergo stand really makes it more flexible. I’m not so sure about keeping it, but it would be a no brainer if it were stretched to 32” diagonally (using the horizontal dimensions), had a slightly more flexible stand, and bumped the refresh rate to 75 Hz. One more note, I can definitely see how this monitor can make you more productive as it puts so much right in your center of view and your eyes aren’t wandering around an excessively wide screen looking for windows you positioned on the edge.

Great open views with little neck bending.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had LG Dual up monitor for about 9 months and enjoy the additional viewing space. There is a bit of give and take to balance resolution between this and another monitor. I use other monitor for Zoom and the LG for multiple open documents. Nice to not have to scroll to see the open documents. One downside is having to bend neck upwards to see top documents.

Great for long format browsing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is an odd one. I bought it to fill my vrowing need while also staying relatively compact on my desk area (I dont have a lot of horizontal space on my desk) and to alleviate my LG 27" oled monitor so I dont burn it out doing non-gaming task. It does a good job for this, but i will say i wish LG would have included a firmware updat that would allow you to hardware rotate the image as i prefer it flipped 90 devrees on its side than the standard ultra tall orientation. Unfortunately this means windows, linux and the bios on my pc end up on their side by default and the monitors OSD is also flipped the wrong way. It honestly is only about 2-3" difference flipping it makes, but that is also the difference between being able to see the very top of windows (search bars, tabs and minimize, close and etc.) And having to crane my head a little to see them clearer. Also gives this monitor an odd 4:3 classic appearance, but with a massive pixel density! All in all, sites like forums, social media and guides really benefit drom the extra height this monitor afforda. Only downside I've encountered is when accidentally launching a game and it defaults to this monitor. Super weird trying to play on this one :)

Only con w/ some windows/macOS resolution scaling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Monitor is great in nearly every category and worth it. You should be aware there can be minor issues with resolution scaling, macOS is worse at this currently, but windows has its issues too. its not the monitors fault but it can keep it from being a strong recommendation unless youre a tech enthusiast or have a niche need for vertical space. Im hoping the aspect ratio becomes more available (and OS updates/support for it, a lot of the UI on apps/web feels like it’s ready to outgrow 16:9. Much more room for reading, coding and multitasking. The dual input mode is very useful when you want to work off 2 machines at once.

Very interesting!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very interesting panel. I enjoy using it for a second monitor. It’s a great deal with the arm included. Only issue is some games are difficult to play due to the resolution
