I’m unsure if that’s possible. Running a Mac Studio M1 Ultra.
You should be fine to run this monitor over USB-C. HDMI will be terrible.
I tried all the inputs and cables. Still the same result.

#232This shares an unfortunately common flaw with most monitors in the market, at 137.6 PPI, it'll likely require fractional scaling.
Exactly. That’s the reason I don’t recommend it and am returning mine.
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#233Has anyone tried one of these? I'm intrigued. How well does it work?
I just got one a few weeks back but haven't gotten to spend a ton of time with it yet. It's taking some adjustment but I'm liking it so far. - had 1440p + 1080p monitors on stands side by side before. Now just this one on an arm (which is excellent), that I can adjust to keep my position from being static. - not having to hold my neck angled while reading my side monitor is helpful. - realistically there are a few "m…
I have a similar experience with coding! I bought this monitor precisely for that. It's nice to keep some bottom IDE panel open (test results, find results, git log, etc) while keeping the rest of my editor at a normal vertical height.
Similarly, I can keep a browser open at a normal (or even extended!) height, plus keep the developer console open at the bottom. It's made web development more pleasant, just the feeling of not being so cramped vertically.

I believe I’d slightly prefer 16:11 if that existed, but it’s pretty close to 3:2.
3:2 is 16:10.66, so basically the same as 16:11.
As I said, it’s pretty close, but not the same. Looking at http://www.displaywars.com/1-inch-3x2-vs-1-inch-d%7B16x11%7D, I’d prefer the green rectangle (with more inches of course ;)).

#235I’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?
I bought one, and I'm also upset with how Mac OS handles the scaling.
I've tried absolutely every utility that allegedly makes higher DPI monitors work: BetterDisplay, SwitchResX, EasyRes, and a few other little ones. BetterDisplay makes it sound like they support full resolution with any arbitrary scaling factor. But all of them, at least the ones that did ANYTHING, they only offered the exact same behavior that Mac's built-in display settings offered. They only let me run at a lower resolution. I'm on a 2020 Intel MBP.
Running it at 1920x2160 (just via Mac's built-in settings) is annoying, but it displays things at the correct size and lets me move on with my life. It's still slightly crisper than my old 96 DPI monitor, and the screen real estate + aspect ratio is absolutely amazing for coding.
It's a real shame that neither Mac nor LG has a solution similar to what Windows offers. Hooking the Dualup to my Windows 10 PC, it immediately just worked. Full resolution, 150% scaling, it was the perfect size. Text looks so much crisper on Windows than Mac with this monitor. I've been considering installing some Linux distro for my daily work just to enjoy proper scaling (I figure Ubuntu would offer something similar to Windows).

I'm pretty sure it has a Vesa mount. Their specs say wall-mountable 100x100 and other sites say its a Vesa 100x100 mount.
I can confirm it works with VESA mounts without issue. I’m using an Ergotron arm mounted to the wall and it went on no problem.
Thanks for confirming! The pictures made it seem like it wasn’t VESA compatible.
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#237I’ve been looking for a replacement for my 16:10 HP zr30w with either high-dpi or high-fps (not that this is particularly either) and have been coming up high-and-dry. This looks like an alternative worth exploring instead of the garbage 16:9 flooding the market with unusable high-dpi real estate. But it doesn’t have VESA? I’m all for the “save desk space” mantra that’s plastered all over their marketing materials, b…
I'm using the included monitor stand. The monitor definitely can move relative to my desk if I shake my desk, but it's noticeably sturdier than a cheap (but highly rated) monitor arm from Amazon. I'm personally pleased using the monitor stand.

#238There is also this new ergo dual 27 display from LG. [1] [1] https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27qp88d-b#
Can you daisy chain another set of these so that I have 4 monitors total or can you just daisy chain one set?
Not on apple and probably only 30Hz with windows.
4 x 1440p@60Hz is ± 26.6 Gbps which is really pushing it for displayport 1.3
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#239I find panning my eyes left and right to other monitors more natural than up and down, and I think most ergonomics experts would agree. As such a 32:9 widescreen seems preferable to a 16:8. But if you are pressed for space, either because of small desks or because of everything else going on on your desk (people who work not only in the virtual world) this seems like a great compromise.
I've always been the opposite - not a big fan of having to turn my head much when I'm working. At home I've got 2 x 27" 9:16 monitors, one in front and one to my right (total display width ~68 cm), then my little laptop on the left (~30 cm wide) - and that's about far left or right as I can be bothered to look. At work I've got 1 x 27" 9:16 monitor in front, and 1 x 27" 16:9 monitor on my left. The left hand side of…
why dont you turn the left monitor vertically?
Re: LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
#240I've been running two 4K 30" displays in this form factor for 3-4 months and love it. I put the upper monitor on an arm above the lower. The upper is a bit too high for doing regular work on, but it's great status stuff (slack, music player, bugtracker, e-mail, ...). The down side of this LG is that it's about the price I paid for the two 30" 4K displays... The curse of irregular displays, losing economies of scale.
Would love to see your desk setup ;-)
