The display boasts a Square Double QHD 2,560 x 2,880-pixel resolution and an unconventional 16:18 aspect ratio. This monitor can be used with a vertical split view function, and DualUp makes it look as though a [pair of 21.5" monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-321cupdf) have been stacked one on top of another. Those who constantly need to be looking at information from two separate screens could benefit from this solution, which is not only beneficial for productivity but also reduces repetitive side-to-side head movements and neck pain. The space-saving DualUp Monitor by LG ships with the LG [Ergo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergo) stand, which can easily be affixed to desks and tables for a comfortable user experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vertical Monitor Displays:** The LG DualUp Monitor could lead to the rise of vertical monitors as a way of improving productivity while reducing neck pain. - **Split-view Functionality:** The split-view function on the LG DualUp Monitor presents an opportunity for other monitor manufacturers to develop similar innovative features that improve productivity. - **Unconventional Aspect Ratios:** The 16:18 aspect ratio on the LG DualUp Monitor could spark other monitor manufacturers to experiment with unconventional aspect ratios to differentiate their products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Computer Hardware:** The rise of vertical monitor displays creates an opportunity for computer hardware manufacturers to create and market new products that cater to this trend. - **Office Furniture:** The LG Ergo stand that comes with the DualUp Monitor presents an opportunity for office furniture manufacturers to develop their own ergonomic products that complement the new trend of vertical monitors. - **Tech Accessories:** The unconventional aspect ratio on the LG DualUp Monitor presents an opportunity for tech accessory companies to develop new types of stands and mounts that can accommodate these new types of monitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single Dual-Display Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-e45c-g5.md) - [Stacked Foldable 4K Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-4k-monitor.md) - [Ultra-Light Portable Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-monitors.md) - [Mini Ultra-Wide PC Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrawide-4k-monitor.md) - [Ultrawide High-Resolution Smart Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/34sr65qc.md) - [Dual QHD Ultrawide Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lc-m49qck.md) - [Ergonomic Smart Home Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-32sq780s-smart-monitor.md) - [Curvaceous DQHD Gaming Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-ultragear-monitors.md) - [Sleek Vertical Digital Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-witty.md)
