it doesn't look right it doesn't feel right I feel like I've got all the
screen space missing there's been a lot of new monitor Trends the LG Ergo duel
was kind of fun we've got the QD OLED stuff coming out we've got mini LED
finally hitting its stride but I'm a sucker for weird resolutions I don't
want your 32 by9 Ultra wide I want this
thing which is I don't even know it's 16
by 16 by 18 so it's the LG dual up
monitor Ergo it's using a similar stand as the LG Ergo dual um except this time
there's only one display but it's two
1440p monitors basically stacked
together but it's a single panel so it's an editor's dream so this is a a huge
box uh we've got cables this is an allen
key or a also a Phillips on one end power brick
stuff that's a big Power this is a yeah this is actually pretty beefy here it is
okay yeah this thing is heavy oh my God
here it is what is this thing it's the
Twitter monitor the Twitter monitor yeah no for real though this is great for
like any kind of Doom scrolling like if you just sit in your bed or not even in
your bed but if you sit in your chair like I do near the end of the night where you're kind of like this and
you're just scrolling ever like forever I'm right-handed but I'm kind of busy
we're not going wide anymore we're going tall this guy is on like you can move
this up and down and then you can fine tune here on the rubber uh with this so
it's probably somewhere around there so this thing can actually it can actually
fit quite a few desks anyway the real star of a show is this amazing panel I
still can't get over this thing I love it I yeah honestly maybe I'll add a
third monitor to my desk and it'll be this guy it just Clips in the same way
most not all but a lot of monitors do with the two clips on the top we've got
a USB Upstream we've got usba a we've
got uh DPN uh
usbb uh two HDMI ports DC and headphones
so pretty standard for most monitors these days so this thing's pretty great
on the stand you've got a lot of movement uh ton of rotation it can go
like all the way over here if you want and then you can kind of Center it back into your desk uh and then on top of
that there's just a ton of play like we can tilt and we can pin we can swivel or
the opposite sorry ohow can you rot oh
my God so if you
really if you really don't want to go
tall but you still want a weird aspect ratio you can do it you can go wide 18
by 16 18 by
16 uh we're going to go with the way LG
intended so I'm going to use these new LTT cable ties we made new packaging
look super eco-friendly these are really nice I love the color and the the foam
feels better like it feels softer but like still sturdy I'm going to plug this
in I'm going to Cable manage ever so slightly with our LTT cable tie so this
is a really nice feature um so for example Andy get this if you if you look
down so look my power brick is just hanging here right and that's not good
so what they've got is they've got these Barrel plug extensions so you can
actually go out of
here into here wow into here and then
once this is fed through properly look at that it's flat now with all this
extra slack I have had way too many Power Bars not necessarily resting the
way they're supposed to simply because I don't have enough length and then this
goes on top it's a little finicky sometimes but it's not too bad yeah oh
that looks so good it does hey yeah I know oh my God it has speakers and it
makes a cool chime when you plug it in I didn't even turn it on I just plugged
then this thing's great okay before we do uh actually power it on and take a
look at it though we're going to give you a quick word from our sponsor seic
cic's Focus plus 750 wat gold power supply is a good choice for mid-range
systems at a great price it features an 80 plus gold ratings you get 90% power
efficiency at 50% system load it's fully modular and features hybrid fan
management to control overall fan noise and fluid Dynamic fan bearings it comes
with a 10-year warranty that's how confident cic is learn more about them
at cc.com or through the links we'll have below Okay so we've noticed
something kind of weird and it's definitely not our cable and it's definitely not our computer our monitor
is an engineering sample and stuff can
happen in shipping and even non-engineering samples you always get some rate of rmas there's a weird like
pixel flickering or something going along the entire panel uh we don't know
what's causing it it's got to be the panel because it's not any of our Hardware but it's pretty minor and it's
hard to see on camera so we're going to keep going the rest of the pan works
just fine got our LG SD QHD it's got
It's running at 2560 by 2880 UH 60 HZ
but I think it can do more than that oh maybe it is only 60 it's it's a work
panel it's not for gaming do you like it Jonathan is it great I didn't bring my
Mac there's a USB-C Port let me go my
MacBook so in terms of like creating stuff it's not a bad panel it's got
hdr10 which is mediocre hits about 300 nits of brightness it can cover like 98
or 99% of the DCI P3 color gamut nothing else is super oh there's so much more
Super stuff we need to look into okay so I know we literally just said there's
some weird flickering or something going on maybe the panel just had to warm up I
don't know it stopped doing it jonno hit the monitor a few
times cuz it's not a high DPI screen
this is for Mac users now you can't run it on high DPI so you can only run it if
you want native scaling to look decent oh it's HDR look at the space between
that yeah look at all that looks like an iPad I I this is actually I wouldn't
want this for music because I want to go wider than this like don't get me wrong
it is nice being able to have that many tracks up but I do want a bit more
distance sometimes so I can see the rest of the song and whatnot so with game
development if you take an engine like Unity or something or or Unreal Engine
four or five you can move all of this stuff so you can change everything
constantly if you need a big like asset window here and then your scene window
here and then like uh I don't know your game objects and stuff there and then
your inspector window over here this is great see this guy might like it cuz you
can turn it hey you can turn it sideways this monitor might be better sideways
okay I have to now you think so that's better I think that's better with an
aspect ratio this Square having this
Honker bezel on one end I think is
not because this screen really works
well in either orientation and this just kind of implies like you're doing it
wrong so you can really make them thick and you can have like really thick audio
now well and then I could bring this down what if you were editing a
vertically shot video though like a YouTube short or something right that's
a good point you could have your preview monitor on a 16 by9 screen here and then
do all of your yeah and then the bottom half is just timeline top half media
yeah nice there's no mention of like a factory calibration in terms of color
accuracy but if it does that much of the color space you can tune it yourself and
probably get it pretty close it looks fine I actually really like this I mean
obviously this is a terrible situation cuz we've got these giant black bars it
looks like we can't do two videos of the same size like top and bottom to do two
1440p videos basically uh but I mean
that is partly just because of YouTube if we had like VLC or something going up
with two full videos you could probably stretch it so that it basically does two
full 1440p images yeah this thing looks
awesome this like the ultimate Instagram reels or like YouTube shorts content
consume consumption monitor all right let's try game on this thing oh check it
out native 2560 by 2880 8 by9 I like how
it centers Doom guy so well it's like a portrait like I don't know it's just
silly I okay let's try it it doesn't look right it doesn't feel right I feel
like I've got all the screen space missing it's great if you like you know
work in an office and you have to do Photoshop stuff or whatever but like for
gaming no this is
bad I think this will feel a lot better
cuz like it's not portrait anymore who needs 4x3 when you've got 8 by9 okay I
still don't like it but it's better it's better it's better it doesn't feel as
good as CRTs but it like it reminds me of how they look for viewing content yes
for playing games God no this is terrible I I think that it has a lot of
purposes and use cases gaming isn't necessarily a strong suit but you're not
stuck not gaming I mean you saw Doom handle at a a 16 by8 uh aspect ratio no
problem actually yeah this is actually be great for something like Civilization
or uh another 4X game um RTS maybe
actually could be good for rtss anything where you need like a lot of screen
space and you don't necessarily care about going wide at all so this is the L
G dual up pretty much everyone who's walked by uh while we were filming wants
this thing they all you know not everyone's like oh this is the best mod
I've ever seen but it's interesting to basically everyone and everyone had a
different kind of use case that they wanted it for which was pretty
interesting as well if you enjoyed this video check out some of our other short
circuits oh we did a tablet PC so hey if you like this aspect ratio check that
thing out because it's it's basically a tablet I love it put it on my desk
