LG 28BQ780-B 27.6” 16:18 SDQHD DualUp Ergonomic Monitor with Nano IPS Technology, USB-Type C™, Dynamic Action Sync, & Flicker Safe

I purchased this product to minimize my screens in my office, since the previous screens were taking up so much space, without improving productivity. This screen was a game changer for me, since I had the equivalent of 2 screens stacked on top of each other with only one stand, and minimal cabling. The mount is the best feature, since the entire column rotates and you don't have to worry about the cables being caught, unlike every other mount out there. This screen being used with Microsoft's "Desktop" options on Windows 10 OS, allows me to increase my productivity as I set up the common 6 programs used and only have to hit a single button to swap over to the next "desktop" without losing valuable desk space with the physicality of multiple monitors and hardware. I have had this product since April of 2024 and have enjoyed it

This is a super cool monitor that I use it for web development, is great to have your dev tools and code editor in this monitor and then your app on the main monitor. Reading code is super nice given the weird aspect ratio.Windows works out of the box, scaling and res is pretty nice but in Mac the scaling and default resolutions available are very bad, the text is super small IMO but using a third party like better display helps a lot to improve it.If anyone’s wondering the model differences of the dualup series, it’s just that this one offers 96w charging instead of 90w because this is a “business” not “consumer” monitor.

I love having the real estate this screen provides. I use it in landscape mode and it's great. In portrait mode, I found it uncomfortable having to look up and down at the screen. Hard to keep it all in my field of vision that way. That said, I had the monitor fail within a couple of months of receiving it. LG repaired it under warranty. Also, from the beginning, the monitor has a habit of occasionally going black for a moment. It appears that this only happens when I visit certain webpages, usually ones that have a lot of dynamic content, popups, etc. The strange thing is I found a page that caused it and bookmarked it to have it for purposes of troubleshooting with LG's support (they haven't been able to solve it so far). But when I went back to the bookmarked page, the black out didn't happen that time.Another thing to be aware of is that, when I'm sharing this screen on a video call, I believe the other people on the call see some sort of smaller view of the content due to my larger screen size. They sometimes ask me to zoom in so they can better see my content. I'm not sure exactly what's going on because I don't see what they see. Doesn't seem to be a big problem.All of that said, I'm 50/50 on whether I'd buy it again only because I'm nervous it might fail again once out of warranty. If I knew it wouldn't I'd put up with its quirks and buy it again. If you buy it, try to keep the box for a while. You'll need it if and when you ship it back for warranty work.

Used this to replace an old WG7000 that was hit by lightning. Fit perfect in a Mortal Kombat can with 2880x2560 resolution. Love it so far.

So I love everything about this monitor except for the readability. I code all day and this is just much harder to read on than even my 10 yr old dell monitors. It’s not as bright, and the color isn’t as good. If they could up the nits I would consider using two of these for my daily drivers, but until then, I’ll be putting this in the garage for the workshop monitor.

I got rid of a $1000 Samsung G9 Curved Ultrawide to use this…For my workspace, the straight up and down functionality is amazing. My teleprompter and camera sit to the right of it, which was awkward next to an ultrawide. this buys me a lot of workspace alongside other things on my desk. Great primary monitor on both Windows and MacOS.

Make my work so much earlier.
