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.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoI would say this is very far from "breaking out of the 16:9 mold". 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.
- kelsolaar 4y agoWhere did you read that they stopped producing their own panels?
- lambdaba 4y ago3:2 is ideal, Microsoft's Surface Book series have it
- arthurfm 4y agoHuawei's MateView 28.2" monitor too. It has a 3840 x 2560 resolution (which is slightly more than the 2560 x 2880 resolution of the LG DualUp), although sadly is not VESA mountable.
- layer8 4y agoI believe I’d slightly prefer 16:11 if that existed, but it’s pretty close to 3:2.
- karamanolev 4y ago3:2 is 16:10.66, so basically the same as 16:11.
- layer8 4y agoAs 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 http://www.displaywars.com/1-inch-3x2-vs-1-inch-d%7B16x11%7D, I’d prefer the green rectangle (with more inches of course ;)).
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt's a good baseline, but for big setups I think there's a point where you want the width to grow faster than the height.
- pkz 4y ago...and the Acer Swift. A great screen size for programmers.
- saiya-jin 4y agoIts rather close to 16:10 which is more ubiquitous (I have 32" one funnily enough from LG from pre-covid times, and oh boy was I glad I bought when it came). It feels so natural to my eyes, I definitely don't want vertical panel but 16:9 is pretty crap for any kind of work.
- cbozeman 4y agoJesus Christ, why did they stop building their own panels?? No one had panel quality like LG... :(
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoi would not say 16:9 stacked on top of each other is breaking out of 16:9
