Fantastic alternative productivity monitor - LG Dual Up

[Hades]

I came across this and it looks fantastic. I may have to get one in addition to my widescreen as it looks great for software development.

Ars did a write up on this back in December: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/12/lgs-1618-ultra-tall-monitor-means-less-scrolling/

I've considered it ... but not bit the bullet as its IPS* and the table I use as a work desk has a mahoosive horizontal metal brace right where you'd need the clamp for the arm to go.

* I've used VA panel monitors for so long that everything else just seems too bright and in your face, so would really want to see this in the flesh.

Some mad lad on Reddit:



I actually like the idea as a work monitor for myself as the software/systems I use tend to be more square/vertical and I spend more time at work scrolling up and down than across… be nice to have a couple of them running w/my work laptop but that’s a not inconsiderable amount of money for the pleasure.
