LG UltraFine UHD 27-Inch 4K UHD 2160p Computer Monitor 27UN850-W, IPS with VESA DisplayHDR 400, AMD FreeSync, and USB-C, White

I have been using this for a few months and I am very pleased and satisfied with the quality.

I received this monitor and connected to my M1 with ease. It immediately recognized the MacBook. Its mac ready! The colors for Monterey are alike and I didnt see any difference. I am a photographer so this is important. Buy it. Its a great monitor at a great price. I got the 27 as there are more pixels than the 32, so better for LR and PS.

I really struggled with the decision for what monitor to buy for my new Apple MacStudio computer, and was seriously considering spending another $2k on the Apple Studio display, but after reading ALOT of reviews I settled on this LG ultra fine 27 inch display and saved myself about $1500! It is a great display, plenty of brightness and clarity of color. From now on I’ll stick to Apple for my computers but there is no need to spend the extra money on their displays when these lower priced options are just as good!

This is likely the best monitor that Ive owned. Color, brightness and image definition are excellent. The speakers are oriented away from the user. That is less than ideal. Ful disclosure, I seldom have audio on when operating my desktop. My main gripe is the on/off button. It has dual functionality in that it is also used to access various monitor controls. Not infrequently when I try to power the monitor off, it instead brings up a control menu. A bit annoying. Id prefer two buttons.

I have had this monitor for 2 years, love it for using a laptop and working on a larger screen. The USB-C to USB-C cable needs replacing, sometimes it works and powers the computer and sometimes it does not power? It connects to the monitor for a picture but not power? I cannot find the appropriate cable to replace? If I plug in a USBC- to USB-C it does not connect to a picture?

This monitor is interesting. I’ve enjoyed my experience with it overall. However, it took me quite a while to figure out the correct settings to be able to use it. The default settings have extremely high contrast. Reds were appearing as some sort of neon red/pink color. I got it figured out after a lot of trial and error. One of the big reasons I got this monitor was so that I could use a single usb-c cord for charging (Mac) and attaching to the monitor. Unfortunately, the monitor doesn’t provide enough power to actually charge the computer. It just dies much more slowly. I use it as my home office computer (graphic design) and it lasts for the whole work day, usually. Then I have to plug into the original charger at night. I didn’t think I would have to do that, so that was a little let down. Anyway, it’s a great monitor overall. Just has a few hiccups that can be worked through.

I purchased this monitor to get more screen real estate for working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its great to be able to have a Zoom or Teams meeting going, have a document or browser window open, and to be able to keep an eye on my email without having to constantly minimize or move windows around. The image quality is excellent - very sharp and clear with natural looking color. Contrast is also very good, although black levels are not as good as on a higher end modern television or mobile device with an OLED panel. But, you really only notice at night in a darker room. The matte screen also lets me have my home office setup in front of a set of windows without fighting glare. Onscreen text looks great, and the night mode preset that lowers brightness levels and shifts whites to a warmer hue is also nice when working late. Video looks very good, although I havent been able to get Netflix and Amazon to stream to the monitor in 4K. Im using the latest and greatest version of usb-c to connect to a late-model HP laptop. If anyone has troubleshooting tips, let me know. But, non-protected 4k content from sites like YouTube looks great. This monitor doesnt have a high refresh rate by 2020 standards, though, so gamers and people watching live sports might be happier looking elsewhere. The 2-way adjustability of this monitor makes it really comfortable to use for long workdays. The stand is also surprisingly solid and more premium than it looks in the photos. I assumed it would be plastic, but its metal. So, I have no worries about accidentally tipping the monitor off my desk when adjusting the screen. It is also ingeniously simple to assemble without tools or messing with a bunch of little screws. Overall, this is an almost ideal monitor for working from home, and LG seems to have prioritized productivity over entertainment in its design choices, which is great for me. It has a modern, minimalist design compared to a lot of other options with overwrought styling intended to appeal to gamers, which is nice since my office is also our family room. And, IMHO, matte screens are MUCH more pleasant for reading and writing than glossy models. Highly recommended.

Ok - Ive been working from home for over a year now, so I decided to upgrade my 24 inch BenQ monitor. What a huge improvement - doubled vertical resolution. Makes my job much more enjoyable. Night and day eye comfort. Great investment. No game play; just work. I noticed what others have commented about regarding getting too big a monitor. This one is probably at the upper limit for a work monitor. You occasionally find yourself moving your head around a bit to find things on the screen. With smaller monitors you typically find things via eye movement only. With this size monitor, there is a bit of head movement, not bad, but noticeable - I would not want to go any larger. Again, this is for office / programming work where I have multiple windows open. The adjustable height is a welcome feature. Glare is nicely controlled - no issues. Fonts are very crisp and readable. And the sound is more than adequate for meetings. Others have complained about the joystick control for options selection, but I do not find it a problem whatsoever. Overall - I would highly recommend this for office and programming work.

Got this for my home setup to replace my LG Ultrafine 4K at the office. Figured Id try saving the company a few hundred bucks. When I first hooked this thing up it looked godawful and was ready to put it back in the box and shell out for another Ultrafine. Colors were awful, with brighter colors almost fluorescent and edges looked like someone had run a Photoshop Unsharp Mask over everything on my screen and cranked it up too high. But playing around with some settings, I found an HDR setting that is defaulted on. Turning this off, and then cranking up brightness to 100% and reducing contrast has this now looking about 100% better and almost indistinguishable from my $700 Ultrafine. To a more attuned and calibrated eye, the differences may be more substantial, but my eyes arent bad and I dont require any kind of insane level of color accuracy in my work so I am happy with this monitor, especially considering the cost difference. Also nice to have some standard USB ports on the back as we all know not every peripheral uses USB-C nowadays (and I had to have a couple dongles coming off the back of my Ultrafine) so dare I say I may actually prefer this monitor. The ID is not bad either. The frame is pretty minimal, and the stand doesnt take up too much space. Only consideration I didnt think about was that it doesnt have a built in webcam. So I ended up just picking up a $20 Logitech cam that plugs right into the back and works fine. If youre on the fence, and wondering if you need to spend more for a high end 4k chances are you probably dont.

Easy - connect your PC with display port, use one of the HDMI inputs for your 4k Roku stick, do some PC tasks, then take a break and watch a movie on Netflix or Amazon. **Nice bright picture with HDR. You can adjust picture mode individually in display port, and HDMI, etc. I have it set for HDR effect for both DP and HDMI. **Having an IPS panel means super rich, and vibrant colors. **Also, 350 nits of brightness is plenty bright for HDR! Note: This LG 27UN850-W 27 Inch Ultrafine UHD Monitor also has a USB C-port that can charge your laptop or cell phone. Allows you to display whats on your cell, or laptop directly on the monitor just by plugging into the USB C-port, while also charging the connected device. ***I have NOT used the USB C-port yet, as I purchased this monitor mainly for connecting my Dell desktop PC using the Display Port, and for using my 4K Roku stick (HDMI port) for watching NETFLIX and AMAZON Prime movies. To find out more about this monitors USB C-port (a great feature that other monitors DO NOT have), watch some YouTube reviews.
