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.

Up until now, I’ve been exclusively been using #HDMI #cables to connect #monitors to my #laptop. My #DockingStation and one of my monitors does have #DiplayPort connections too. I’ve heard that they provide better speed and performance. and so is it worth geting a Displayport cable (they’re not expensive) or stick with what I have?

I'm thinking of getting a Quest 3 to mix up the focal distance I look at all day. Any good reason I shouldn't?

I've ordered this 18-inch 2560x1600 display to replace the dying secondary display on my Mac Studio.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/uperfect-ugame-k118/

The UPERFECT 18" QLED Portable Monitor, 2K 2560×1600, 144Hz Gaming Display, 500 Nits Brightness, FreeSync HDR, 100% DCI-P3, Ultra-Slim USB-C/HDMI Monitor

$237 @ Amazon

My beloved 4:3 aspect, 1600x1200, 20-inch HP LP2065 is near death (second one I've had, after the first died). I use this rotated for 1200x1600 and will use the new unit rotated, as well, on the same VESA arm.

It will be my new IRC screen, basically. Hope it works out well.
