Brilliant description. I've currently got a dual screen set-up comprising 2 LG 43" monitors side by side allowing me to have lots of pages open at once for trading. I also need a taller screen for viewing an entire web page at once. I can see the Dualup sitting in the middle of the other two for this purpose. The advantage here for me at my age (66) is that I can enlarge webpages so that I can read text sitting back 4-5' from the screen w/o using reading glasses. This is highly liberating. It's probably equivalent to a 20 year old with perfect vision looking at a single ultrawide screen from 2'. Yes it's excessive and I had to wait till I retired to afford this. But the improved information access in this activity justifies it imo.
By far THE best review of the DualUp I have seen. Excellent description of the PBP and KVM features and how these features are set up. Your review sealed the deal and I am getting it. Just hope there are no Linux driver issues. Thanks!
Have watched a lot of videos on this monitor and this is by far the best one. Clearly describes how it works and the options for hook-up. Well done and thank you!
Wow, stellar production and informative content. You touched on all the vital stuff. Thanks for sharing. I was thinking Slack + my daily news portal side-by-side (not stacked), but then again I could also just tilt a 27" 16:9 to portrait and get even more vertical screen estate than with the LG monitor. I would just have to switch between Slack and news cause it's narrower, no big deal really. I also do some UI design and I can picture the LG could work for vertical orientated stuff like mobile UI and websites. I'm in limbo on this, dunno if it really out-competes a traditional setup with 32" 16:9 as main + 27" 16:9 in portrait as secondary monitor. The PIP feature with two different sources is a plus, I don't get to do that with my current setup.
I think you’ll just have to weigh the pros against the cons of tilting a regular monitor or just getting the Dualup with some additional features. Either way, I don’t think you’ll go wrong unless you’re currently missing some features from your current setup that the Dualup has, then it’s a no brainer.
it would be cool if they made it able to bend just a tiny bit at the center because most stacked setups have the top monitor tilted down towards the user a little bit.
Hi friends, I just got the screen and rocking it with my M2 MacBook Air, I can't figure out using it with "05:39 Two Cables + One Source (PBP)" I have connected my two cables but only one half of the screen is showing up..
I'm a programmer and I need multiple code files opened at the same time, but my ultrawide already covers that for me, this is an interesting monitor though. Thanks for the review!
Hi! Great review! 👏 I use default scaling on my macbook 16 inch M1 to get a perfect trade-off between size text and working space on the built-in monitor. Could you compare the text size of that monitor's native resolution (without scaling) and the text size on macbook built-in monitor (default scaling)? Is there a difference?🤔 Thanks in advance!
Hi! I loved your video! Did the DualUp cause fatigue in the neck (given one would now have to tilt the head upwards and downwards frequently given the height of the monitor)? Which is more ergonomic (and comfortable) for viewing between an Ultrawide and the Dualup? Thanks mate!
I had a question about the light bar on top what does that help do in terms of functionality? Also is that an item that comes with the normal purchase or is it an add on like Amazon makes it out to be.
Hello, what is the lowest and highest top border high of the monitor from table monitor ? it is comfortable or need to move up or down the eyes so much?
I don’t think this is intended to replace or be a main monitor. It’s like 600 or 700 bucks right? Why not just buy two 24” monitors for less than 400 bucks?
If you own a MacBook, they’re just some free wallpapers already on the system when you buy it. Go into display settings and look through the wallpapers section
You know what? I'll just rotate my 34" monitor, set it in portrait mode, and viola! I have that "magic" monitor! Specially considering it does not have any special viewing angles making it special. What a waste of time 😕
Lowkey I'd happily add this as a secondary monitor. Turning one curve monitor+ this into essentially a 3 monitor setup (although technically still would be 2 monitors)
3:03 ⁉ How did you rotate the display? I can't seem to get the option on my M1-13in settings , is it with USB-C or HDMI❓ "rotate display" only pops up on my M1-13in when I disconnect the Dualup in the "Hold Option+system settings>Hold Option+display" ❗Doesn't give me the option when I connect with USB-C... 🤷♂

It's not 2 X 28 in monitor size It's only 28 inch diagonally = to 2 X 21 inch monitors Also only 1440 not 4k Left me disappointed after watching and buying..
I'm in my 50th video about this monitor. That's the best one. Simple and direct. Congratulations, it's a masterclass. The first 30" can hook up a whale.
I love the monitor but I’m having an issue with determining how to lower it closer to my desktop and how to control the settings since there’s no buttons on the screen. The manual is useless and it seems like LG support isn’t sure about how this thing works.

Agreed 100%. Extremely well done. Top presentation, videography and editing.
I agree!!!
Yours, so far, has been the most useful, informative review of this monitor that I've seen so far.
Thank you.
I’m glad you found this useful 🙂
I agree!

Excellent review. Of all the videos I've seen, this is the one that best explains how to properly use the monitor. Thanks
Dude loved the way you told for which users its useful damn amazing review video
it would be cool if they made it able to bend just a tiny bit at the center because most stacked setups have the top monitor tilted down towards the user a little bit.
Great review. Huge biceps bro. I'm working on mine.
might as well get two 29 inch ultrawide and stack them together. the width seems way too short tbh
My thoughts exactly. I'd pair this with an ultrawide if anything but definitely not as a standalone monitor
Thank you so much for the video. Excellent details
Really good Review, i like your videos a lot!!!
Thank you! :)
Excellent review!!
Great video. Very informative, ended up buying one of these. It's weird and I'm not used to it yet but I gotta give it time.
It grows on you! :)
@@techbymidas good to know, I was wondering if you still liked it a lot.
This is siiiiiiiick

but my ultrawide already covers that for me, this is an interesting monitor though.
Thanks for the review!
I'm sure you'll love this even if it's just for reading code :)
do you know how I can use it horizontally what settings
What’s that on top of the monitor? A light? Where do I get that?
Yea it’s a monitor light. You can check it out here - geni.us/dbCCDSt
Hey Midas, Good video, one quick question: When connecting 2 Laptops, would we be able copy content from one laptop to another ?
Hi! Great review! 👏

Thanks mate!
I found that tilting my head up and down for short periods wasn’t too bad but for long periods, I definitely prefer ultrawides
I had a question about the light bar on top what does that help do in terms of functionality? Also is that an item that comes with the normal purchase or is it an add on like Amazon makes it out to be.
Hello, what is the lowest and highest top border high of the monitor from table monitor ? it is comfortable or need to move up or down the eyes so much?
Can I screen mirror from tablet?
I don’t think this is intended to replace or be a main monitor. It’s like 600 or 700 bucks right? Why not just buy two 24” monitors for less than 400 bucks?
Really appreciate your honest review about this dual-up monitor. Would definitely not go for this, rather prefer Benq PD2725U. Thankyou ⚘
What are the dimensions of the monitor? Amazon says the height is 33.2 inches which does not sound right at all
Looks great
Do we have to buy the Two Cables separate to get the split the screen in two or does it come with the LG dual MONITOR ?
Video is good as always.
Thanks bro! 😁
@@techbymidas welcome 🤗
is it budget friendly? for a 28"
How are you gonna watch videos on this thing?
Does anybody knows if the LG On Screen/Split Screen software works well on this monitor?
Are the letters sharp when viewing text docs? Thanks.
Yes they are but if you zoom in, things might get blurry.
bro how can find your beautiful wallpaper ?
If you own a MacBook, they’re just some free wallpapers already on the system when you buy it. Go into display settings and look through the wallpapers section
@@techbymidas thank you , you the best bro 👌
You know what? I'll just rotate my 34" monitor, set it in portrait mode, and viola! I have that "magic" monitor! Specially considering it does not have any special viewing angles making it special. What a waste of time 😕
Nice video! But it would not be easier to simply use Rectangle or Amethyst to split the windows instead of double connections?
I haven’t tried that yet but that could be an easier way to use the split screen for sure. I’ll definitely give it a try
Lol budget friendly
Dont buy this .. wait for HP to do their own version, a 4K Res version with better gamit and accurate colour correction, no reflection
$700 doesn’t sound too budget friendly
Not for everyone I’m sure
Lowkey I'd happily add this as a secondary monitor. Turning one curve monitor+ this into essentially a 3 monitor setup (although technically still would be 2 monitors)
Exactly my thoughts tbh.
Yup i will buy it and use it as a second monitor next to my Alienware 38.
ive been thinking about picking one of these up for Twitch/TH-cam chat.
3:03 ⁉
How did you rotate the display? I can't seem to get the option on my M1-13in settings , is it with USB-C or HDMI❓
"rotate display" only pops up on my M1-13in when I disconnect the Dualup in the "Hold Option+system settings>Hold Option+display" ❗Doesn't give me the option when I connect with USB-C... 🤷♂
I wish we had three of these in a ultrawide format.

honestly i want one of the left and right of my lg c2 to use as discord and youtube monitors
Did you pronounce Grommet like Buffet?
This is going to make an amazing secondary display!
or you can just rotate your normal dell monitor
