LG LAUNCHES WORLD’S FIRST 16:18 ASPECT RATIO MONITOR IN SINGAPORE

CORPORATE 06/30/2022
SINGAPORE, Jun. 30, 2022— LG Electronics continues to lead innovation in the global premium monitor market with the launch of its latest LG DualUp Ergo monitor (model 28MQ780) in Singapore. Pioneering the first-ever 16:18 aspect ratio format, the 27.6-inch display paired with the second-generation Ergo arm delivers expansive vertical screen size and optimises limited desk spaces for an unrivalled user experience.

 


 

 
The winner of the CES Innovation Award and the Red Dot Award’s Best of the Best this year, the LG DualUp monitor comes with innovative features to boot. Designed for productivity and comfort in mind, the unique Square Double QHD (2,560 x 2,880) resolution display lets users enjoy the same real estate of two 21.5-inch displays with one screen, reducing the need for side-to-side neck rotation.  Boasting a Nano IPS display, it supports 98% of DCI-P3 colour gamut, yielding vibrant colour reproduction and bringing details to life.

 


 

 
The LG DualUp monitor is equipped with an ambient light sensor that adjusts screen brightness according to the surrounding brightness level and comes with LG’s Live Colour Low Blue Light1 to increase visual comfort and keeps the eyes protected against blue light.
 

 


 

Multitasking is a breeze with the vertical split view function that runs two windows through the picture-by-picture feature, providing an intuitive, seamless navigation for the user. Thanks to the USB-C connectivity, the monitor allows for convenient charging, data transfer and screen display at once. Suited for a wide variety of users, designers and video editors would appreciate the wide screen for editing many layers at a glance, while content creators can carry out live streams and track comments in real-time.

 


 




The monitor further elevates viewing comfort and ensures an efficient cable management solution with the newest Ergo stand. The arm offers a wider swivel angle up to 335 degrees, in addition to the magnitude of adjustability, including height movements up to 130 millimetres, extendable and retractable across a depth of 210 millimetres, tilt up to 25 degrees and rotate 90 degrees to landscape or portrait modes.
 

 


 

“The LG DualUp Ergo Monitor brilliantly surpasses consumers’ expectations of a monitor with superior display, extended vertical space and ergonomic comfort combined into one,” said Mr Lee ChangHa, Product Director of LG Electronics (Singapore) Home Entertainment. “Revolutionising the way we work and collaborate in the workplace, the monitor seeks to provide greater user value, resulting in a more productive and comfortable working environment for the new-age users.”
 
The LG DualUp Ergo Monitor is available through LG official brand stores – KrisShop, Lazada, Shopee, and at all authorised retailers – Best Denki, Challenger, COURTS, Gain City and Harvey Norman at a retail price of S$999 from 1st July 2022.
