A unique 16:18 aspect ratio.
Pretty much 2 x 21.5" monitors stacked vertically, no bezel.
Comes with a well regarded stand.
W 48cm * H 55cm screen
60Hz refresh rate
300 nits
QHD & IPS
2xHDMI, 1xDisplayPort, 1xUSB-c, 3xUSB 3.0
Can do 2x PBP (Picture-by-Picture) mode

Low PPI? It's equivalent to a 4K monitor at 32"
Yeah, which is low for a monitor.
you must really really want this aspect ratio to drop $900 on a low PPI and 300nits
and 60hz
I can guarantee you, you aren't using your monitor at greater than 300 nits. Please don't cherry pick things you know nothing about.
SDR is mastered at 80-120 nits.
Plasma TVs were putting out 35-50 nits full field. For most of home TV recent history 250-300 nits was absolutely the norm and people had TVs like this in living rooms without issue. Put 400 nits 30-45 cms in front of your face for more than a couple hours and you're going to have eye strain issues. Its very very bright.
Please don't cherry pick things you know nothing about.
Perhaps the word would be "nit-picking"?
That been said, I have my screen at full brightness because my eyes are crap.
More like Nit-wits.
Thanks for putting the nits where they belong.
In most circumstances, you'll rarely ever use the monitor at its max brightness. This applies for the majority. Thus comparing monitor's based on their max brightness is useless. Also, exceptions don't disprove the rule.
@meatg42: Having worked in enterprise i.t for most of my life, this is unmitigated nonsense. Few, if any, users ever dial their brightness down to meet rtings perfect calibration settings or whatever. The number one request re monitors is brighter. They all come out the box at 100, and the industry trend in capability has been to higher and higher nits. Hell, to mini-led.
We get it. You're technically correct, in the ideal color snob world. But you're also book smart, street stupid, when it comes to making sweeping declarations as to peoples preferences and actual use cases.
You clearly dont want to hear this but you're all over this thread harassing users while making sweeping statements that are for most people, quite simply. Bluntly. Wrong.
Exceptions do disprove the rule when they're in the vast majority. Then they arent exceptions. Theyre the norm. Please cope.
@Ademos: Thank you. I personally like high DPI, and the whole ‘hurr-durr your eyes can’t see the different’ narrative is simply patronising.
@Ademos: 100% agree. Nowadays I stop reading these sh*t posts once I see the flags because it shows some serious lack of maturity & work experience. People who worked in a decent sized work environment would not make such comments like these would-be tech experts do.
(I can guarantee you, you aren't using your monitor at greater than 300 nits. Please don't cherry pick things you know nothing about).
Lol
400 nits in a well lit room is not that bright
And I can guarantee you that in my sunny office I've recently switched from a 600nits Studio Display to a Dell Ultrasharp 400nits, and I frequently run the Dell at or near full brightness throughout the day.
I've recently switched from a 600nits Studio Display to a Dell Ultrasharp 400nits…
Unrelated question: Why?
low PPI
What is a high PPI to you?
The Apple retina benchmark of ~220ppi. Tho I will trade some pixels if it means more Hz (4k gamer refresh for eg)
I think this monitor is on the upper end of pixel density for consumer monitors which is somewhere between 110 and 160 depending on what flavour of 4K. Average is probably 90-100 considering the abundance of 24" 1080p and 27" 1440p monitors. Those ultra high pixel density monitors run into the thousands and that's for a standard aspect ratio. Can't imagine the price this'd have if it were 6K lol
can you wall mount this?
300nits is a bit a bummer.
Need to check how it looks in store.
No it is not a bummer. Im betting you don't even know how bright 300 nits actually is. You are not taking this monitor outside to the park or a cafe. You need only 120 cd/m2 in normal environment and in dim room 80 cd/m2 is about enough.
My cousins friends girlfriends brotha has migraines like crazy. He uses his monitor at extremely low 'nits' for research purposes. Not everyone needs dem nits.
Stop "nits"picking!
Please stop berating others with your highly subjective opinion, thats context specific, as fact. You're bluntly wrong in my sunny living room, and many other peoples.
120 lol. I struggle with 250 in the office, and many others express similar problems in this thread.
I would advise against dictating what people “need” or find comfortable based on industry standards provided by the printing industry over fifteen years ago, based on a mythical ideal ambient lighting scenario, and tech that is considered bottom-tier today. Proofing itself is a different use case to office work altogether. (Anecdotally, I work closely with a magazine editor and layout designer who is happy with an ultrawide 250nits Dell display. The proofs are fine.)
Also, 1 nit = 1 cd/m2. Using the SI term doesn’t make you sound smarter.
He's not wrong in the sense that geek-perfect-color-accuracy calibration will call for dim-as-hell specs, because it's done in a dark room by shut in nerds without windows. But entirely wrong in any even remotely real-world application outside of darkroom color grading / the vast majority of real users settings.
10:1 he can write a 400 word essay on the best waifu in Genshin Impact or something.
@Ademos: They are "dim" because they are calibrated to represent real life print luminance and color levels.
Bright displays are not color accurate.
@initiateit: And literally almost nobody cares. I cant even recall the last time i bought printed media. I don't use my monitor to consume printed media.
You're quite passionate about the nits and quite wrong. What people need has nothing to do with what you think is bright enough, or what professional colour work involves. It comes down to the lighting in the space it'll be used in and most importantly the users preference.
Just need to check how much you need in the room you'll use it.
Ultimate dakboard setup for the kitchen/living room.
or you could have matrix green symbols freefall on top and below while watching the movie
Good for a home pokie simulator
What is the bargain?
OzBargain stock broking!
Why not just buy two 27 inch monitors? Would give you the flexibility to alter the way you like it
These are very niche and has limited scope
You have to turn your head about 90° to get out of scope, so it’s not as limited as you might think. Even then, some people swear they can see things out of the corner of their eye. I’m pretty sceptical about that part, though.
This is much neater than a two-monitor setup. I see this as the future for people who really like people peering over their shoulders
Supposedly this is good as a side monitor if you have a 42inch LG C2 (or C3?)
Fantastic for Zach Snyder’s Justice League
300nits screens should be banned like 16gb iphones and 8gb soldered ram
Brother, you don't know shit about brightness. Stop yapping on shit you know nothing about. Majority of monitors nowadays are 300 nits
I presume 300nits on a LG monitor is actually brighter than 300, 300 nits on my lenovo laptop is just looks dark when using under 95% (day time indoor), never had this issue before on any of my other laptops i have where i usually set around 70% brightness.
holy balls you harp on so much about brightness I hope your scalp gets 300 nits
the backlight on monitors degrade and dims overtime, if I have to use a new laptop at 95% brightness out of the box, I'd say its a legitimate long term issue.
Imagine the eye strain running a work monitor at 100% brightness for 8 hours a day.
Prolly give your eyes AN ANEURYSM.
Tbh this seems like an ideal word processor lol
You can pretend you're old school with a Trinitron damper wire, except this time it's conveniently at eye level and is 100x thicker.
Edit: My bad. I thought from the photos it was literally two monitors stuck on top of eachother.
Bought 1 from a previous deal to try it out and loved it so much I got another.
For me, each one replaced a set of 2 2560x1440 monitors (Kogans - perfectly adequate for productivity work but the gap in the middle was annoying) on the sides of a 42" LG C2.
I assume 300 nits = 300 nits but I can't handle 300 nits laptop screens yet didn't find brightness a problem on the DualUps. I have mine at 50 contrast, 50 brightness as 'auto-brightness' was setting them to 79 brightness (L) and 82 brightness (R) both of which were too bright for me.
They match an LG 42" well but not perfectly as the resolution is slightly different. I understand there's paid software that works out how to stretch an image naturally across all of them but I don't really care and the mouse transitions are fine.
This aspect makes much more sense to word processing warriors and people who read lotsa pdfs etc; For research purposes of course.
Great for music writing/playing, and video editing too.
Do you use it as a single screen on picture-by-picture?
I am curious if it requires two monitor cables if I want to use it as two monitors (I believe they call it picture-by-picture) from a single PC.
Also is there a way to use it without clamping to the desk? (I have one of these desks with very think top so non of monitor arms can be clamped on).
I am using Ollin instead of the original arm. The ollin works better and if you really a very thick desktop you can just puncture it and use Ollin.
I use one with C2 too the height is exactly the same as the LG C2. I use the CBS Ollin Arm to put them side by side. They looks decent.
The only issue is you can't really unify the color performance of C2 and the DualUp and the Dualup is quite a bit of leakage of light at the edge when the environment is dark.
Overall very good combination. Thumbs up!
my tv is 4 times the size has 4k resolution and have the price lol
this is a great product tho you should buy it because it’s cool
How many nits though?
280 nits apparently
People are complaining not realising this is more of a business product. It is a niche item businesses can easily afford.
Is this a little bit overpriced?
Such a better format for office work. Widescreen is great for media consumption but so wasted on document editing. I would love to have one of these but a bit worried about mounting to my desk.
Using one right now. Works fantastic!
Equal two 2k monitor stack up
Brilliant for coding / referencing docs.
Pair with good window management software moving windows like breeze.
any recommendations for good window management software?
Want to know too
Fancyzones via Microsoft Powertoys is pretty awesome.
I am using Mac so I only can recommend Mac App.
I am using Rectangle
https://rectangleapp.com/
Free version is good enough
I switched from windows to mac last year and I missed fancyzones so much, until I found rectangle. These two are the best in each world, love both of them!
Good for replacing a CRT in an arcade machine.
Also back when they did their last deal of these I called around to a couple of the HN's and asked if they could do any better on price. Turns out they can't, these specials only come about as LG is offering cash back to HN for the difference between the dale price and the RRP.
Also, before you rip them for price per inch, please keep in mind this is a very unique screen with no other competing screen with the same ratio & resolution. If you want these to drop alot in price you are going to have to hope that competitors emerge
Isnt that monitor stacked vertically is not ergonomic for the usual office work where the screen need to be on eye level? It will fail ergonomic WFH check.
Firstly, it's not designed for usual office work
Secondly, Assuming you have the right posture, height, and distance away from screen it can be perfectly ergonomic
where is the other side of it? lol … id buy it if it was 2 next to each other,, what a 45" 5k monitor… thats ok
Friend has one these nice bit of kit in general for me the 139 PPI on it means its not great for me, but he likes it.
The stand is very nice.
