I appreciate this video. This made me rethink my approach to monitors and I am working on a dual, dualup monitor setup
Your ultra wide + dual up setup was exactly why I wanted to buy it, but I was curious whether it would be in the way and unnecessary or not. Good to hear someone else’s input!
Very helpful review, thanks for sharing Chau!
I ditched the ultrawide and got a studio display primary and Dualup secondary. Love it!
@ 3:47 "I need the colors to match exactly what's on the display for my MacBook Pro since those are the exactly what people see when the content is pushed out on platforms like UA-cam or Instagram or Tick Tock..."
No user who uses a monitor or tv will see exactly the same colours as each other or even how the designer wanted them. Just walk into your local tv/monitor store and see the difference.
I had this issue with a national bus company that wanted me to use their corporate Pantone red for their website. Their marketing team gave me the exact Pantone colour to use in Photoshop, which I used, but, then they compared website colours on different monitors.
Damn, get out of my head! Was exploring an ultra wide + this Thanks for the review, really helpful!
The speakers on my Dual Up work great. I have it connected via HDMI. If you have two sources connected to the monitor, you have to go into settings and choose which source audio to play through the speakers.
That's exactly what I envisioned using it for, monitor for streaming pc!
Thanks for the review. It's helpful. I wonder about using this is a solo display in a workstation setting, for document production and general productivity.
1 month in with Dual Up. I have a 27" LG widescreen next to it. Every time I have to switch to teh wide screen it feels like a downgrade in productivity and enjoyment. It took me a day or two to adjust to the irregular layout but with a good window manager on Mac (I use rectangle) its just a real pleasure to use. Now I'm planningt to get a second one.
Which was the problem with dual LG?
2:20 no need to worry about the current. Your laptop will regulate the source and restrict wattage based on demand.
Thank you for your 6-month thoughts.
I am really considering upgrading my monitors to a similar setup as to what you did. I am currently using 34”UW, with Vertical 27” as my 9-5 I work with a lot of programs and need screen real estate. So I am thinking about upgrading to LG 40” UW paired with LG Dual up… I agree maybe 49” and Dual up may be too much. But I think 40” and DualUp could be sweet spot.
hey, love your videos, love from Vn!!!
awesome review Chau, excited to see more!
This monitor keep teasing me for productivity and also for streaming so looking forward to your other video. Great video and Thank you.
The Dual Up has been exactly what I’ve been looking for in a 2nd monitor. My main monitor is a LG 43” 5K2K and I use the Dual Up off the the side (rotated 90 degrees so wider than tall) for web pages and MS Teams/Zoom. BTW, the Dual Up replaced a 24” monitor that I used in portrait mode.
Thinking about doing this. 40” LG UW, paired with DualUp. Could be a great combo.
Looking for a review that shows msword and pdf productivity in landscape mode but can’t find any.
I bought mine used about 5 months ago now. I like to game on the bottom screen and code on my top screen during lobby finding / waiting to be bought back in Warzone 😂 it just looks super unique and hi tech and I love the ergo mount
I have a 80 x 30 desk and a 38 ultrawide. I can handle the dual up but going to see if I actually need it first. It still may too much.
I'm using this as my main monitor with a Mac Mini for productivity work (email, documents, slack, etc) and it's great. The vertical aspect ratio is great for this type of work and I find that having even more real estate (e.g an ultra wide) actually decreases productivity. If I really want to multi task I keep one main browser window in the top half and two smaller windows (e.g Slack, calendar etc) in the lower half. When I want to focus work, I center the main app through Rectangle (giving you some space between the browser window and the screen edges). On the side I keep an 11 inch iPad for meeting video etc. Loving this set up.
Which Mac mini? 2023 model with M2 or M2 Pro?
Interesting. I’ve been using 34” Ultrawide and now that I’m moving out I’m considering this option.
You realize that you don't calibrate to "match another monitor" right? What if the macbook screen isn't the one properly calibrated to display accurate colors?
Hey brother where can I get that wallpaper? the blue landscape looks sick. Nice setup
Could you post your settings for matching the MacBook Pro color settings please???❤
Perfect timing. I've been wondering if I should get this as secondary monitor.
Nice back to front pc, what was your thinking behind it?
Looks a little cyberpunk to me, having the leads to the front.
Is it good for video editing when doing videos for UA-cam specifically gaming?
@Chau Codes
Can 16" M2 max support one pro display XDR and two dual up monitor at the same time? If so, can it be done via one TB 4 dock?
Can this be used at its native resolution especially on macs without scaling? What does it look like?
Have you used Geminos Dual Stacked? Would you make a comparison between LG Dual Up and Mobile Pixels Geminos Dual Stacked? I am torn between the two.
How are you able to get LG to send products for testing ??
I'm using a different 27 inch LG ergo monitor. Since Macbook Pro M1 does not support dual monitors, I cannot connect two separate monitors. Can I use two Ergo series with this KVM feature from LG? I would like your ideas. Thank you.
Two Yamaha MSR100 speakers are what I use. Don't skimp on your sound quality.
3:55 ⁉
How did you calibrate the monitor❓
They should release a cheaper version that's 1920x2160, would make an amazing secondary display!
Hey Anton, Nice video. Curious question: When 2 laptops are connected would we be able to copy content from one Laptop to another Laptop ?
Unfortunately no
My speakers work fine for me right out of the box
What settings do you guys use for this monitor for coding? texts are blurry for me
KVM switch only on the usb C right? If you use the HDMI you won't get it
Anyone know in terms of height what’s the lowest in inches it can go down to with the stand?
can turn it 90deg and use you are 2880x2560 monitor ?!
Thanks for the video.......After consuming a lot of videos for the last 48 hours, I finally placed an order for it this 'crazy' monitor just this morning !
Btw, can you talk a bit more about (probably in comments section) about how I can use the same keyboard + mouse even when I connect this monitor to 2 separate devices (in my case, my home PC and my office PC). Thanks again.
I use logitech keyboard and mx3s mouse. You can toggle between multiple devices with the click of a button on each device.
For devices that aren't connected through Bluetooth but through USB, you can simply plug them into the USB ports in the back of the monitor and use them on whichever device is plugged into the monitor. Keep in mind this probably only works if the devices are being connected through USB-C
I'm disappointed that I can connect my Mac and PC, but the mouse and keyboard between the 2 pictures onscreen are not seamless, the controller software sort of works, not well, and logitech flow seems to be a slight improvement. Productivity gain for me...barely.
Ive been checking a lot of reviews of this on youtube. i just know that the monitor has a built in KMV but not sure how it works on it. Does it automatically toggle between windows? reason why i asked is because i use two laptops for work. i keep on switching from one laptop to another using an external KMV switch to use only one keyboard and mouse. also have an hdmi switch because i need always a second montior when working on one laptop. so imagine having 2 switches to use ( hmdi and kmv). i was thinking if this monitor will give me the feature to use pbp mode using extended display on both laptops and having to use only one keyboard and mouse on all 4 monitors ( laptop 1 montior + LG pbp1 & laptop 2 monitor and LG pbp2).
Doubt it. It can't pass between the 2 PCs on the same DualUp
Can 2 dual up monitors be daisy chained and work with M2 Mac book air or any other windows machine?
the M2 Macbook Air's only support 1 external display. Don't believe that daisy chaining is available on this monitor either.
Contrast looks really bad on that from all the videos I've seen - is this true, or am I just seeing things?
Question: the annoying chime noises and disconnected beeping when I turn off my PC with this DualUp....cannot find a way to turn it off. I read there's a physical toggle in the back but it does nothing to correct this. Any idea about this?
I'm not sure if this is the setting you are talking about but within the Settings, under General, there is an option to toggle the Buzzer. This might turn off the sound that you are talking about since its default is set to enabled.
Really want the dual up but looks pricey.
Did he say ‘tooken’??
3:49 this is just so false
Is it worth to buy it as a primary monitor?
I don't have one. I think it's great IF you understand its limitations. It's NOT high res. If you're looking to have maximum content on screen and don't mind stuff getting small, it's not for you. If you are doing general stuff (word, web, mail, Slack, etc.) then it's a great format.
@@maxdamage8562 appreciate the warning. However, anyway I dropped the idea of buying a monitor altogether as I got one from my company (of course only till the time my employment continues there). So will keep this in mind next time I need to buy one 👍
Why do youtubers makes a review video where 90% of the view is just them looking at the camera and talking. Seriously, we want to see the product not your face!
He loves his own face very much
Mine got burn in 🙂
I got this monitor in April. I was very happy with the overal use etc. But yesterday i wanted to move it closer to me and something broke inside and i got a black screen. I called lg support and explained it and got an answer that shocked me. Its not covered by the warranty, and fixing the problem might cost more than buying a new one. I'm happy this happend because we were thinking on getting these monitors for our entire team @ the office.
Dodged a bullet there :-).
Thanks 4 that info. Will be finding something else 😊
60Hz = automatically disqualified
better luck next time
*taken note of* ;)
As a user of a 3840 x 1600 UWQHD+ Ultra Wide, I don't like that you use "Ultra Wide" for your Super Ultra Wide 32 : 9.
Personally I think the 16 : 18 or 8:9 makes a good second monitor to a 21½ : 9 - and especially 24 : 10 - since it already is a bit taller than 21 : 9.
But if we simplify it to 8 : 9 + 21½ : 9 it makes a 29½: 9 - which is oversimplification, but about as wide - in fact not even as wide -as 32 : 9.
Reverse it and you have a 16 : 18 and 48 : 20 with my Ultra Wide. Yeah, the Dual Up is 37¼ % taller, but divide by two: 8 : 9 + 24 : 10 = 32 : 9 / 10. 32 : 9 ++
you went to merryhill middle school
crazy to see someone who went to my middle school become a techbro youtuber lol
Oh my god haha that’s crazy you remember me!! What class were you in when I was there?
2 dual ups are 1 42" lol
Yes, its almost that, but with much more resolution, versatility and ergonomics because you can swivel to te right or better positions.
இந்தியா வில் இந்த moniter விற்பனைக்கு வரவில்லை. Lg பழிவாங்கி விட்டது 🤨🤨🤨🤨
I really hope v2.0 will have high refresh rate. Can't justify spending that kind of money on ancient 60hz technology
it's not a gaming monitor, LG put most of their time and money into color accuracy when it comes to these types of monitors. if you want a 144hz monitor you should look for something else.
@@amykpop1 @undergroundxp it doesn't have to be a trade off, the only special thing about this monitor is it's format. There are thousands of others which also provide great color accuracy and are 144hz+ AND at least half of them are much cheaper than this one. I see absolutely no reason why it doesn't have 144hz refresh rate for that price, the comfortable format doesn't justify it (at least for me for that price)
Your realization of 49” being enough after a month 🤡🤡🤡
nah man, this Monitor Overrated. I prefer Samsung Smart Monitor 43"
