LG Electronics Launches 'DualUp Monitor'... "Optimized for Multitasking"

16:18 Aspect Ratio with Greater Vertical Length

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] LG Electronics announced on the 15th that it will launch the LG DualUp Monitor (model name: 28MQ780) with a new form factor in the domestic market.

The LG DualUp Monitor features a 28-inch (70 cm diagonal) Nano IPS display with a 16:18 aspect ratio. It is sized like two 21.5-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio stacked vertically, making it taller than a typical monitor and allowing more information to be displayed on one screen without scrolling.

The new product is also equipped with the LG 360 Stand, supporting pivot rotation of the screen 90° horizontally and swivel rotation up to 335° left and right. Height adjustment is possible within a maximum range of 165 mm, enabling precise positioning of the screen to suit the user's posture.

LG Electronics drew inspiration from customers who use monitors stacked vertically to view the entire screen at a glance. This design reflects the needs of customers who perform multitasking work, such as YouTubers editing videos by splitting the screen vertically, programmers who need to check large amounts of code at once without scrolling, and designers who review multiple works simultaneously.

This product supports PBP (Picture-by-Picture), allowing two PCs to be connected simultaneously and their screens displayed on one monitor. It also features a KVM switching function that enables users to operate two connected PCs alternately with a single keyboard and mouse. This is useful for customers who use a laptop and desktop simultaneously or both a Windows laptop and a MacBook.

Space efficiency has also been improved. The space occupied by the LG DualUp Monitor is about half compared to using two regular monitors side by side. In addition, it includes built-in dual stereo speakers with a maximum output of 14W (7W speakers x 2), and a USB Type-C port that supports screen connection, data transfer, and 90W ultra-fast charging simultaneously, minimizing cable connections.

LG Electronics will launch the LG DualUp Monitor on the 16th through online channels including the LG Electronics Online Brand Shop (OBS). It will later be available at offline stores including LG Best Shop. The retail price is 990,000 KRW.

Seon-hyung Kim, Executive Director of Korea HE Marketing at LG Electronics, said, “The LG DualUp Monitor with a new form factor that did not exist before will provide an innovative customer experience to customers who perform multitasking work.”
