Hooking the Dualup to my Windows 10 PC, it immediately just worked.

It's a real shame that neither Mac nor LG has a solution similar to what Windows offers. It's still slightly crisper than my old 96 DPI monitor, and the screen real estate + aspect ratio is absolutely amazing for coding. Running it at 1920x2160 (just via Mac's built-in settings) is annoying, but it displays things at the correct size and lets me move on with my life. They only let me run at a lower resolution. But all of them, at least the ones that did ANYTHING, they only offered the exact same behavior that Mac's built-in display settings offered.

BetterDisplay makes it sound like they support full resolution with any arbitrary scaling factor. I've tried absolutely every utility that allegedly makes higher DPI monitors work: BetterDisplay, SwitchResX, EasyRes, and a few other little ones.

I bought one, and I'm also upset with how Mac OS handles the scaling. With my regular glasses, there's no distance at which I can read it. Further away and it's too blurry and I'd need my middle-distance glasses. typing this on an iPad 12.9" that's about 16" from my face, w/o wearing my glasses. Presbyopia really sucks and it's the only thing so far about aging that's a constant irritation in my day.

So I basically have my work glasses that make things from ~ 18" - 36" comfortable for viewing. But at arm's length distances, it's uncomfortable to read text through them because my eyes can't focus that close with them on, yet if I take them off it's just a bit too blurry.

My near-sightedness here is providing me some temporary respite from the presbyopia. So I now have my regular glasses that are adjusted for normal activities and I just take them off or read below them for near work. I tried progressive glasses (modern versions of bifocals) but found them extremely annoying with their fishbowl effect and only providing enough magnification at the bottom and gave up on them after two weeks. I've worn glasses all my life, but they never bothered me at all till I started dealing with the presbyopia and needing task-specific glasses. I'm a bit near-sighted, even after Lasik a decade ago, and now I'm also dealing with presbyopia the last few years. I did need to get dedicated glasses that I use when using the monitor or when I'm on my laptop. I don't really have any issues with eye strain though. As I mentioned, I do push it back and bring it forward throughout the day, but I just measured where I'd left it at after coding yesterday and it was at 24" away. Yes, it's a bit on the close side so I do have to pan my head a bit. It's as close as it needs to be for the size fonts and resolution I want to run it at, and still be able to read comfortably with my 50 year-old eyes. I feel like this LG dual setup I'd need to have too far way to see the full view comfortably, which would mean running everything at larger font sizes, so I'm not sure it makes sense. The monitor arm just makes that so easy.Īfter a couple tries, I found a knock-off of the Fully Jarvis arm that works well, the WALI GSM001XL:Īnyway, this LG is neat, but my 32" is already at the height limit I'd want for a monitor. This means if I'm working on editing something toward the bottom or top of the monitor I'll often have to adjust its height so that I'm not tilting my head too far down or up. I'm 50, but even with glasses I use just for editing (they are optimized for bringing into focus things at arms distance) I have the monitor relatively close to use it at the resolution and font-sizes I like. I have a fixed standing desk with a tall bar-stool type chair I use for resting at times.

OMG, what a sea change being able to raise, lower, bring forward, push back the monitor throughout the day. The biggest improvement I've made recently was putting it on a proper monitor arm. I've been using a 32" 16:9 4K monitor (BenQ B元201PH) for years.
