The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10.

The monitor performed well in other metrics. It had a good out-of-box gamma curve of 2.3, barely off the target of 2.2, so images were just a hair darker than they should be. Color temperature was also solid at 6800K, which is a tad cooler than ideal. I doubt most people will notice anything amiss with either and the monitor offers adjustments for fine-tuning these aspects of image quality. Where the LG DualUp Monitor 28MQ780 shines is in its colour accuracy. During our tests, it delivered impressive Delta-E results, with an average accuracy of 0.44 and a maximum of 1.16 – still within the ideal Delta-E≦2 level. That maximum level does jump up to over 4.0 in the sRGB picture mode, but the average in that mode is still 0.82. More importantly for creatives, it’s got an average accuracy of 0.53, maxing out at 1.19, in the P3 mode. LG medical monitors come equipped with an array of functions to assist sharp and well managed medical treatment. The accurate diagnosis gets achieved with the top-notch image display that produces precise tissue level details to encourage the medical anatomy. To get a much more objective view of the monitor’s colour consistency, screen brightness, and colour space coverage, we put our Datacolor Spyder X Elite colourimeter (see our guide to the best monitor calibrator tools) to use. Below are the results. LG promises a typical brightness of 300cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1, and the monitor does deliver on that front. During our tests, it delivered a brightness of 321.6cd/m2 at 100% with its contrast just dropping slightly down to 970:1. Its contrast does top at 1,020:1 at 75%, however.The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely.

PBP & Built-in KVM*

Its 300-nit brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and measly HDR10 support means that it’s never going to be the ultimate video and photo editing monitor, but it should be enough. After all, its near 98% DCI-P3 gamut is at DeltaE 0.53 accuracy, which is pretty impressive.

While LG says that the ​​LG DualUp Monitor 28MQ780 boasts a 98% DCI-P3 colour gamut, we measured a 97% DCI-P3 coverage during our test, which really isn’t that big of a drop and is still pretty good for video editors working in that colour space. You’re also getting 100% sRGB coverage, even though LG doesn’t mention that in the specs, as well as 91% AdobeRGB. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). For getting work done, the 28MQ780 is an effective tool. Two HDMI, one DisplayPort and one USB Type-C input mean plenty of connection options. PBP allows up to two video sources to be displayed at once and a KVM feature means you can control two systems with a single keyboard and mouse.

New DualUp Monitor UNBOXING and SETUP

Though the company didn’t launch pricing information for its UltraFine, the panel should cost less than the recently available UltraFine OLED Pro monitors that were shown off at last year’s CES. I've been waiting for this type of aspect ratio since widescreen BS came in. The reason not to get a widescreen monitor and rotate it is subpixel antialiasing though, which greatly helps with horizontal resolution (or vertical, if you rotate widescreen monitor, but I don't consider it usable for nice rendered alphabets). This, along with the monitor’s modest contrast, makes for a disappointing experience. HDR content often looks washed-out, especially at high brightness, as bumping up brightness also increases the brightness of areas that should appear dark. The LG DualUp 28MQ780-B includes an HDR badge in its marketing but is not VESA DisplayHDR certified and makes no specific promises aside from the ability to accept an HDR10 signal.
