Given the possible uses for this large panel, a handheld remote would be a welcome addition. Reach under the very center of the panel to find the OSD joystick. The screen has a standard 3H hardness anti-glare layer in front with a slim flush bezel of 9mm around the top and sides and 12mm on the bottom. That’s great for stand hookups, but a wall bracket will need to provide some extra clearance. It would be a great candidate for wall mounting if the inputs weren’t rear-facing. The panel is slim at just 1.7 inches, or about one inch less than most panels between 27- and 32-inches diagonal. An Allen key is included to adjust the arm’s tension. You can also rotate the panel 90 degrees to landscape mode. The arm is as good as the best aftermarket products I’ve experienced. And you can move the panel towards or away from you 7.4 inches using the arm’s articulation. You can also rotate the arm almost 360 degrees in either direction. The height range is just under five inches. If you need some height, the panel can tilt 25 degrees forward or backward. I found it most comfortable to have the screen just above the desktop surface at a vertical position. The panel towers over the user when the arm is raised. It looks unique and is rather imposing in its size. There is little doubt that the DualUp will be a conversation piece wherever it’s installed. Once you connect everything, the cables can be fed through the stationary part of the arm and hidden behind a snap-on cover.
You also get HDMI and USB-C cables, but no DisplayPort cable. The power supply is external and comes with an extra extension cord to increase flexibility. Once I had the stand secured to my table, the panel snapped in place. The panel has a 100 mm VESA mount with fasteners included if you’d rather use your own arm or wall bracket. Alternatively, you can cut a hole in the desk to feed the top half of the clamp through. You’ll need an overhang of at least 3.7 inches to fully engage the clamp, which can open to accommodate 2.9 inches maximum thickness. The arm is quite substantial and clamps easily to a desk or table. The DualUp 28MQ780 is essentially flat-packed, meaning you open the box on the large side to remove the contents. This is a seriously cool piece of kit that I’m anxious to explore. But in terms of screen real estate, it delivers a lot of that for an opening price of $700. With no frame of reference for a monitor like this, it’s hard to comment on value. And the clamp means more room on your desk for other stuff. You can also tilt it forward or backward with a generous 25 degrees of motion. Its movement allows a wide variety of positions where you can move the monitor up and down, left and right or in and out. Rather than a traditional base/upright assembly, LG has included a high-quality articulating arm that clamps to a desktop. PBP allows up to two video sources to be displayed at once and a KVM feature means you can control two systems with a single keyboard and mouse.Īnother unique feature is the stand. Two HDMI, one DisplayPort and one USB Type-C input mean plenty of connection options. The HDR picture isn’t significantly better because there is no dynamic contrast or zone dimming in operation.įor getting work done, the 28MQ780 is an effective tool. Also included is support for HDR10 signals. I measured a healthy 95% in my tests with 104% coverage of sRGB in that picture mode. There is no lack of color here with near-full coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut. I can’t say whether or not this unusual form factor will become a trend, but it isn’t too hard to imagine use cases that would suit this monitor. We're checking it out here because it is the first of its kind. It runs at 60 Hz and does not have Adaptive-Sync. I’ll get this out of the way right up front: the DualUp is not a gaming monitor, which we typically focus on.
