I’ve wanted the LG DualUp for a long time.

This is due primarily to hating having tons of horizontal and very little vertical… which just seems stupid for the content we all deal with most of the time. If you’re the average person, you cruise Facebook half the day and use Google Docs for the other half (I’m exaggerating, but you get it) and in either of those your vertical space is at a premium. The browser’s chrome eats space, then you have the site’s controls eating space, and then you have the OS’s crap eating space, and you get the remainder for your actual content. Infuriating.

I use hydraulic arms on two 24 inch monitors, and often have one monitor horizontal and the other vertical. The vertical monitor is pretty good for chat / feed based websites & apps. Also not bad for docs. And pretty good for code as well (I can see more of a file's structure at once).
