LG has just announced a new kind of computer display: the LG DualUp monitor is exactly what its name suggests: Two vertically arranged 16:9 displays in one, resulting in an impressive 16:18 monitor that might be perfect for creative workflows, especially video editing. TV used to mean staring at a roughly square 4:3 screen. Later, with the advent of HD, wider screens with a 16:9 aspect ratio became the gold standard. But working with video in this aspect ratio on a screen with the same format can be difficult, since you have to work not only with the video content alone, but also with the surrounding and interacting controls, the graphical user interface (GUI). The more screen space the GUI takes up, the more the video feed gets pushed aside. The solution is an external monitor that displays a clean feed. image credit: LG LG DualUP Monitor LG have come up with yet another idea that takes up less desk space, but still allows for a clean, full-size video feed + GUI: the LG DualUp monitor is basically two 16:9 screens fused together vertically to create a 16:18 device. Still, it only has one stand, power plug, and all, so it takes up less space and, perhaps just as importantly, requires less head movement. The downside? Well, a dedicated external video monitor is usually hardware calibrated and therefore color space accurate. This is essential for color-critical applications, but perhaps not so much for casual content creators. And having a full-size...
