Meh. I never want more vertical space on my monitor. It would be really a hard aun with MacOS too unless it’s meant to be two virtual monitors, in which case, it still doesn’t impress me.

Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#12How does this compare to two regular monitors stacked on a monitor stand?
This is basically two 1440p panels attached together... so not too different if you have really thin bezels. But what I'm curious about is if this acts as one monitor or two? None of the images show windows that overlap the middle of the screen. So is it one or two "virtual" screens? If it is one virtual screen, I might think of it as more useful to me in the 18:16 orientation.
If it's not actually two monitors, power toys' fancyzones[1] can duplicate that behavior in Windows.

You can run it as two 16:9 monitors or one 16:18 monitor

#14They're still doing the thing where if you want to wall mount it, you've got to punch a hole in your drywall for the cables to have enough room to exit straight out the back of the monitor. Or hope that some cheap 90-degree noname adapter supports the latest version of DisplayPort that you want. I stopped buying this brand of monitor because of this frustration.
Is there no cable with a 90 degree plug on the market?

#15Only vertical split? Can it be horizontally split?
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#16I find aspect ratio is more important on smaller screens such as on laptops. Once you get to 28" and up, 16:9 is fine, since you can easily tile two windows side by side.

#17i noticed they didn't abbreviate "nano IPS" all the way lmao
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#18On a similar note, does anyone know of a squarish monitor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and preferably has a good color gamut coverage?
There was an 1920*1920 monitor (https://www.inputmag.com/reviews/square-monitor-eizo-flexsca...) but that's over 1k USD :(
There are other nice displays like Huawei's Mateview at 3000*2000 but nothing costs less than ~550-600$/€. It's a bit of a pity because you can get a decent 1080p or even 1440p monitor for much less.
Fyi I had written a comment some time back on how to make your own monitor, using Panelook but that also isn't very cheap (edit here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30422163)

#19Make it vertically curve and I’m absolutely in.

More horizontal space feels natural, but tends to be an ergonomic problem. I could see vertical working better for the spine & shoulders, as long as it isn’t unnaturally narrow.
