If it's not actually two monitors, power toys' fancyzones[1] can duplicate that behavior in Windows. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzone...
It is two monitors, you can plug 2 devices at the same time.

#192It's nice to see large manufacturers break out of the 16:9 mold, although I think 4:3, 3:2, or 5:4 would be better for most users. Unfortunately, LG is letting the supply chain dictate panel size for their product team, instead of the other way around. This is no doubt a byproduct of their decision to stop building their own panels in 2020.
No one had panel quality like LG... :(
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#193On 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 dec…
If what you value is vertical space/resolution why not run a 4K monitor vertically? You can either use the full resolution or crop at whatever vertical space you prefer.

It is rather low 110 dpi, „retina“ devices are doing > 220 dpi for nearly a decade and are much easier on the eyes. Now unfortunately those are still not common in external monitors - probably because they require 5k resolution for todays display sizes. But even the 160 dpi of a 4K @ 27“ screen is such a massive step forward in picture quality and readability that I couldn’t ever see myself going back to 110dpi or le…
This LG is just shy of 140 dpi.

#196I’ve had one of these for a few weeks and am returning it. Here’s my take: - The aspect ratio is great when rotated 90 degrees. I really liked having more vertical room for coding and documents. - Screen scaling with Mac OS does not work well. I’ve been using BetterDisplay to address this but it still suffers from lag, banding and pixelation. As a result I’m returning and getting a BenQ 32” 4K. If the scaling issues…
That's unfortunate. I was hoping to get one of these as an external monitor for an MBP. I do have to wonder though, you're saying 'Screen scaling with Mac OS' and 'scaling issues on mac' but this is just a monitor, Isn't that "MacOS screen scaling does not work well" and "mac scaling issues" rather than any defect with the device itself?
While Mac OS has never had an issue with other monitors and scaling replies in my experience, it does for the DualUp. I’m not knowledgeable enough about the various protocols to know if this is Apple or LG’s responsibility, but the end result is not pleasant.

Jesus Christ, why did they stop building their own panels?? No one had panel quality like LG... :(

3:2 is ideal, Microsoft's Surface Book series have it
It feels so natural to my eyes, I definitely don't want vertical panel but 16:9 is pretty crap for any kind of work.

I’ve been using a vertical monitor recently and I have to say I haven’t noticed any pain. I don’t tend to look up and down with my head, I simply move my eyes up and down
Oh you won’t notice the pain. You’ll notice in 20 years.
