LG DualUp 28MQ780-B: You’ve never used a monitor like this

The LG DualUp 28MQ780-B is a strange monitor that instantly generated controversy when it appeared at CES 2022. Some were left scratching their heads. Others swore it would perfectly fit their setup. I can see where both sides are coming from—but, ultimately, the monitor left me convinced it will find a loyal audience.

THE SPECS

The LG DualUp 28MQ780-B has just one unusual specification, but it’s a doozy: a 28-inch, 16:18 aspect ratio display with 2560×2880 resolution, similar to cramming two standard 2560×1440 monitors on top of each other. Odds are you’ve never used a monitor like it.

Display size: 28-inch, 16:18 aspect ratio

Native resolution: 2560×2880

Panel type: IPS

Refresh rate: 60Hz

HDR: Yes, HDR10

Adaptive sync: No

Ports: 2x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 90 watts Power Delivery

Stand adjustment: Height, tilt, swivel, pivot, depth

VESA mount: Yes, 100x100mm

Speakers: Yes

Price: $699.99 MSRP That aside, the monitor is similar to other high-end productivity monitors with USB-C. It has an IPS panel with a 60Hz refresh rate and supports HDR. The USB-C power supports up to 90 watts of power—enough to charge many prosumer Windows laptops, and all current MacBook Pro models, while in use.
