LG DualUp 28MQ780-B

Though it may not appeal to the masses, the LG DualUp 28MQ780-B offers something unique in an oversaturated display market. Its image quality may not turn heads, but it still provides excellent value for a second monitor and creators who work in different aspect ratios would do well to consider snapping one up while they last.
