Eizo made a 1920x1920 display that I think has been discontinued; a very good review: https://youtu.be/gJG9HOQITrg https://youtu.be/gJG9HOQITrg The LG DualUp

Eizo made a 1920x1920 display that I think has been discontinued; a very good review: https://youtu.be/gJG9HOQITrg https://youtu.be/gJG9HOQITrg The LG DualUp is an almost-square 16:18 monitor, higher resolution than the Eizo and almost half the price.

Thanks for the review link of the monitor, don’t think I’d seen one yet! I’ve got my eye out the LG one, but unfortunately it’s still a little out of my student budget. I hope to get it soon, fingers crossed!

  I checked this morning, and LG is selling it for USD$600, $100 off: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-28mq780-b-dualup-monitor https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-28mq780-b-dualup-monitor And Google is showing prices from other retailers as low as $500.

This LG looks great for a dual setup and has a decent PPI. Thanks!

Unfortunately, unusual screen sizes and OLED aren't as available in combination. And since I spend all day in a terminal, having the black background be off is wonderful. I would love 3:2, but I get more value from OLED.

Oh nice, thanks for this! I was disappointed when I went to buy EIZO one, only to find it was discontinued. 1:1 and OLED would be awesome, if such a thing existed of course. Not only for writing, but also for emulation purposes - close enough to 4:3 and 3:4 (yoko/tate modes) not to have to rotate the screen, just a bit of black on the sides.

  If you’re very interested and have the time/inclination, you can DIY a similar monitor using the panel and its driver from Aliexpress. Let me know if you want more info.

I have 3 of these that I bought new back in 2018, that I'm considering selling in the [redacted] area. I haven't used them in 2 years, but coincidentally, earlier today I thought about setting up a new workstation that will use all three. So this comment is to gauge if there is any interest. I'm an Air Traffic Controller, and I discovered these monitors because we used them in a simulator. At the time, the screens we used for controlling traffic were 2048x2048 (that our tech-ops said cost 20k), but recently we switched to larger rectangular monitors (also Eizo). If anyone in [redacted] is interested, email me at [redacted]
