The LG DualUp 28MQ780-B is a strange monitor that instantly generated controversy when it appeared at CES 2022. Some were left scratching their heads. Others swore it would perfectly fit their setup. I can see where both sides are coming from—but, ultimately, the monitor left me convinced it will find a loyal audience.

Its image quality may not turn heads, but it still provides excellent value for a second monitor and creators who work in different aspect ratios would do well to consider snapping one up while they last.
