What are your thoughts on the LG DualUp for programming workflows?
- BatFastard 3y agoI have a dual up from LG and it is the greatest coding monitor ever made! In Intellij and VSCode, I can see project outline, 120 columns of code, and DB details all on the same screen. I use it as a side monitor, with main monitor being a Dell 32 inch 4k.
- xattt 3y agoI use it for R Studio occasionally, and I appreciate being able to see my code and my data at the same time. My main use is writing, and it can a little overwhelming to see all my copy at once. I tend to fill out my screen with other resources that I’ll use. Since it’s an odd-ball ratio, built-in Windows 11 window snapping also has some weird default behaviour that assumes that I want my windows a third of the height and stacked.
- peterangular 3y agoI used an EIZO FlexScan EV2730Q (1:1), and upgraded to a DualUp. It is the best configuration I've found for programming and CLI work. For gaming I typically use one of the normal widescreens to the left/right of it. Only downside I've found is that I screen share often, and the odd aspect ratio means sometimes I have to use one of the normal widescreens instead to avoid small text on the audience's side. Also I ran into some scaling issues on Mac but got past these using BetterDisplay. Overall - love the LG DualUp, my only suggestion is to pair it with a normal monitor :)
