It'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.

You can clearly say that the vast majority of the product pictures instead present it as a 2x16:9. Most of the text is also selling it as a replacement for a double monitor setup.

I was disappointed too. In the end the vastly improved aspect ratio and ergonomics could not overcome the unpleasant screen quality. 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.
I believe for Apple's rescaling to work properly, it needs to be able to render at 2x resolution on both axes (4x resolution total). So for this 2560 x 2880, it needs a GPU to render internally at 5210x5760. That is 30MP. Can your GPU actually do this?

3:2 is ideal, Microsoft's Surface Book series have it

Pretty sure that's backwards. Ergonomically you want the entire display to be at and below eye level. The neck rotates easily on the horizontal and really sucks at flexing in the vertical.
Yes, except most people wind up looking at the leftmost third of the screen the vast majority of the time (see visual heat map research) which results in chronically bad posture with very wide screens.

Looks like some users of Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) are already using this monitor: https://files.alinpanaitiu.com/6a7515174ddd729a3df47063ee760... Some notable data points: - supports DDC brightness control (controlling the real brightness of the monitor using Lunar on Mac, TwinkleTray on Windows or ddcutil on Linux) - supports DDC volume control - supports Lunar's XDR Brightness feature (https://lunar.fyi/#xdr) wh…

I’m unsure if that’s possible. Running a Mac Studio M1 Ultra.
HDMI will be terrible.

Unrelated but I've cycled through monitors and found LG monitors to be the best. They have a reading mode which takes care of most eye strain. That reading most had stopped 95% of my eye strain attacks.
