IT'S GOOD TO BE SQUARE

LG's DualUp 28MQ780-B is a productivity monitor designed to help you get work done. LG has taken a bold step forward with a 27.6-inch "SDQHD" screen sporting an unorthodox aspect ratio of 16:18 and a resolution of 2,560 x 2,880 pixels. The display is longer than it is wide. This Nano IPS panel supports a wide colour spectrum, with a claimed 98% DCI-P3 colour space for improved colour accuracy. Unlike the growing number of monitors on the market with gaming-friendly specifications, LG has dropped all pretences on that front - you won't find low response time, blistering response rate, or a curved panel here - to focus exclusively on productivity.

AN ATMOSPHERIC ATTEMPT

Taking on a remake of Konami's classic Silent Hill 2 was always going to be a daunting task. Enter Bloober Team, the studio behind other psychological horror titles like The Medium and Blair Witch. While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
