LG has announced two new monitors, including the market's first vertical 16:18 display.

This doesn't look good…but it's AWESOME! – LG DualUp Ergo Monitor

The two new monitors, which were announced on Wednesday, will officially debut in January at CES 2022. The first monitor, the LG UltraFine Display, is a 32-inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) Nano IPS panel with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. The new monitor also offers 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, meaning dark, deep blacks and vibrant color reproduction. It's LG's first Nano IPS Black panel, and the company says it will deliver "realistic and nuanced blacks."

The second monitor is the LG DualUp Monitor. Like the LG UltraFine Display, the LG DualUp will have a Nano IPS panel. However, it will have a unique 16:18 aspect ratio. That means more vertical screen.

The screen consists of what LG is calling a Square Double QHD display. At 28 inches, the monitor offers the same screen size as two 21.5-inch displays stacked on top of each other. The screen also has a built-in split view function, which allows the screen to be divided in half, acting as two monitors.
