    LG DualUp monitor is a great monitor for developers. Vertical and wide enough to show all the toolbars and the code.

    Sadly they were not produced since 2024, but they are very good.

    BTW, if someone is selling, I'm buying to have more spares.

    This is an older article: Published 1 April 2022.

    Not about the new Apple Displays.

      To be fair, the new Apple displays use the same panel so much of this still applies.

        The price however, isn't indicative of a 2022 product...

    The new Mac monitor supports 120hz.

    I have a 5k2k 44" OLED monitor from LG. Looks great on my Mac Studio.

    Which monitor is recommended for work + gaming these days? Been on the fence for a new one but couldn't find any that is within my price range.

    The requirement I have is that it has to be 120Hz, probably OLED and it must have built in speakers.

    Any recommendations?

      Not a recommendation as such, but I recently purchased this for one of kids gaming monitors:

      > ASUS XG27UCDMG ROG Strix 27" 4K QD-OLED 240Hz G-SYNC Gaming

      > https://rog.asus.com/au/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix...

      Doesn’t have built in speakers, and can’t comment on what it’s like for work.

      However it does look absolutely amazing!

      Jaw dropping gorgeous. The colours are just so rich. I was genuinely not expecting to as impressed by it as I was!

        My work monitor is a 4K 27" from LG in 2015. I run it at 2x density, so everything's a bit larger than it would be on an Apple, but it's not as bad as this article's graphs would lead to to believe. I'd certainly rather have it than a less dense display.

        Hah! I just ordered that today. ~$2200. Going to use it with a new Mac Studio.

    I am looking for an OLED display that fits Mac's aluminium design, but I still have no luck.
