  1. SO HAPPY tonight!

    LG has discontinued the DualUp LCD display ( 28MQ780-B ), it seems, sometime in the last 12 months or so. It is a 28-inch "4K"-class monitor that is nearly square, 2560x2880 in resolution with a 16:18 ( = 8:9 = 4:4.5 ) aspect ratio.

    I have this display and it is the best display I have ever used in my life. I use it rotated 90 degree on the Mac, running in a "HiDPI" mode that is effectively 2304x2048, scaled. It looks amazing and is perfect for my needs.

    I have used this as the main display on my Mac Studio since 2022. I always intended to buy a spare for when this one dies, but I missed the chance, so I setup an elaborate real-time monitoring system on eBay that has been alerting me the instant one appears on the site. They often go for twice retail or more.

    This weekend one appeared that was local, and I talked to the seller and he told me it had only 490 hours on-time (which I've since verified), is flawless, and would meet me for pickup. He actually dropped the price and we did the sale outside of eBay. I paid about $200 over retail.

    But, now I have a backup! My square, UNIX-perfect system can live on well beyond what it might otherwise have.

    Bizarre source of excitement - but I'm so happy right now.

  6. I have an LG DualUp ( 28MQ780-B ) LCD display, and I want a second one.

    It appears that the unit is extremely near the end of its production run (if not beyond). I do not see these units available for purchase anywhere outside of a single retailer in Dubai.

    If anyone has any info on where to source this display, I would be most grateful.

  11. LG DualUp, connected to a dock with HDMI and DisplayPort and I get two "virtual" displays, stacked on top of each other but no line between them. I can place a window in between and it's not cut! #lg #dualup #monitor

  16. Nice nod to demos of olde in this Damage release called '1976,' running here on the Mac Studio.

    Very nice vibe and the full-screen render on my "square" display is an unexpected treat!

  21. I’m looking at monitor options and have just discovered the #LGDualUp exists, and should fit on my home office desk (as the sole monitor).

    Very tempting, it has a 90W powered USB-C port so should just work with a modern MacBook - a shame the USB hub is a bit bare bones, that should be improved in any future model LG #DualUp

    It’s been two years since I got an LG 34WK95U-W, and although it is still my main desktop monitor, my office needs keep changing.(...)
