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 tried three different 4k monitors and this one is hands down the only usable one (probably the best under $400). Its totally compatible with my M1 Macbook Pro, and give good use experience when plugged in. Picture quality is really nice and I have nothing to complain about it.

Fantastic resolution! I am using it with a Mac Mini M2 without any issues. I love the Apple RGB color palette on this screen.

Soy diseñador profesional y calibrador con la marca X rite de hace más de 10 años. Este monitor de 32 ultrafine debería costar máximo $445 con la opción de calibrador por aparte o como el modelo de 27 que no lo incluye. El tratamiento anti reflejo es semi matte pero no tiene un polarizado que ayude a mejorar los negros. El calibrador es simple y exclusivo para este tipo de modelos ips black pero con maña se puede usar en otros modelos, no es competencia para el xrite i1 studio. Cosas ilógicas el software de Lg, permite calibrar todos los perfiles menos el perfil HDR, lo cual es ilógico para un modelo de estos precios muestra la inferioridad de calibrador incluido. Destaco los 10 bits nativos de color y la cobertura del 98% del DCI P3, pero fuera de esos 2 detalles el monitor no cumple con sus supuestas mejoras a los IPS ultrafine o los PLS como mi antiguo Asus PB278Q. Se nota mucho el ips Glow lo cual pierde la experiencia de ese negro profundo, he visto más profundidad de negro en VA o PLS o AHVA, hablando en como ejemplo en escenas con mucho negro donde la debilidad se nota. Si destaco que color cuandos se muestra en imágenes normales en pantalla completa, no se nota tanto este error, pero al mínimo de una escena oscura salga o vea un contenido con barras negras vera lo inferior de la calidad de iluminación y el tratamiento del semi mate. Marcas chinas como INNOCN Mini LED de 32 (8+2) pueden ser una mejor opción que este modelo eso si teniendo en cuenta los contras que no incluye calibrador ni es 10 bits puro. Al final lo compre en una rebaja temporal, y quería pasarme a un monitor de 32, pero pienso que el precio correcto debe ser máximo $500 con el calibrador. Mi unidad posee un ligero sangrado en la parte inferior del panel en ambas esquinas y un leve sangrado superior izquierdo. Actualización 27 Feb 2023: El software de calibración suele aparecer de manera regular sin abrirlo. El ICC profile tanto v4 como v2 que se instalan en windows generan problemas de color en photoshop, tocando tener que quitarlos y confiar en la calibración por hardware que supuestamente queda grabada en el monitor digo supuesta porque el software no permite revisar donde se guarda dentro del monitor. Nunca tuve un problema de icc profile con Xrite solo con 3d max lo cual me hizo seguir usando el version 2 por compatibilidad.

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.

I am driving this monitor from an MBP 16in. The key aspects are as follows: * The software and manuals are on a CD/DVD. One might wish that at least the packing would include a physical printout of the manual. * Using the USB-C cable to connect USB-C to USB-C does not drive the monitor with all of its possible options available. * Trying to drive the monitor through a modestly-budgeted (Anker) USB-C to HDMI adaptor does not provide all of the possible options and indeed seems to give issues tracking the color calibration. * The only option that worked was to use a trusted USB-C (thunderbolt) to HDMI adaptor (I use one from iVANKY). This drives the monitor with its fullest options exposed in the menu settings. * The menu toggle is conveniently located at the center bottom. You can adjust the sound volume with left-right action. You can select the full menu options with a press. * The speakers are somewhat tinny sounding. When sound is being driven through the HDMI, you cannot control volume form the MBP, you must use the monitor hardware button (as noted above). Now that this is set up, I appreciate the 4k next to the Retina on the MBP (sitting on the right of the monitor). I appreciate the extra screen real-estate. I can have a split-view of two different apps running nicely on this monitor. Finally, I appreciate being able to toggle between different pre-sets in monitor output, such a Vivid, Custom, or Cinema. I use this to run Vivid in daylight, a lower-brightness Custom set in dimmer evening light, and Cinema for video movie streaming. Overall, this is a very good to excellent option as a second monitor to a MBP 16in.

If you need a screen that would turn your MacBook into iMac experience, this is what youre looking for.

Per se, its a good monitor. Decent picture quality, very high resolution, sharp image (its 4K after all), easy to mount and set up. Huge panel with a lot of real estate which is always welcome. If you dont compare it with anything else, you will be quite happy with the monitor. BUT: I was expecting it to replicate the LG ultrafine sold on Apples website for me. I already have one of those monitors in my office and was hoping to have the same experience at my home office too. Same manufacturer, apparently same technology, similar specs, good to go, right? But its where the disappointment began. The image quality, the sharpness, the brightness, and the color delivery come nowhere near like that. Even the build quality is inferior: The plastic frame, cables, stand, everything feels less premium. I have no idea if theres any fundamental technological difference between the two panels, or its mostly a matter of firmware/software, but Id go for that Apple-overpriced ultrafine LG panel any day. MACBOOK PRO USERS BEWARE: This monitor has problems with MacOSs HDR. Right off the bat, its activated, shocking you by a pinkish downright garbage image quality once you turn on the monitor and connect it to your Mac. Either Apple or LGs fault, youll need to disable it to get a decent image profile. Thats all I came across through my hours of googling to fix it. (What? I didnt buy a half-a-grand HDR monitor only to disable it!!) VERDICT: Quite disappointed since I expected more based on reviews etc. Still debating between returning it - as much as I hate returning stuff due to the environmental impacts etc - and going for an LG ultrafine from Apple, or keeping it and trying to be happy with it. UPDATE (1 month later): Decided to keep it and give it time so it has a chance of growing on me. Im now quite used to the image quality. No big complaints anymore. The HDR problem with MacBook is still there, even after MacOS 11.4 update. No big deal though as long as you keep it off.

I bought this as a used-like new monitor for $380. It was in fine condition but had over 230hrs of total power on time and was missing a few cables and pieces. Amazon customer support helped replace what I needed. Buyer beware... Picture quality is good, not great. With a plain black screen up you can see uneven backlighting in the corners. Also, its a matte screen, so everything is a little fuzzy and the blacks are not as deep as a glossy screen, but some people might prefer it (I guess I missed the memo that glossy screens are no longer in vogue). Brightness is a pain to change! It takes 5 clicks on the LG joystick to navigate to the brightness setting and change it 1%. I think thats probably too fine of an adjustment. Maybe take a page from Apple and have brightness go from 0 to 16 instead of 0 to 100. Im using this with a 2017 macbook pro via HDMI.

Ive had this monitor maybe two months and am experiencing some issues already. I did a lot of research before choosing this one as I really wanted good screen real estate for my Macbook Pro; excellent picture quality; a monitor that would support charging my laptop while connected. Heres how that worked out: 1. Picture quality is good, a bit bright but good. 2. The charging only works on occasion. Sometimes the monitor charges the laptop, sometimes it doesnt. This is really frustrating to me as my office is tiny and I dont want additional cables. It also connects, for the most part, but I will get the occasional black screen that doesnt detect the laptop. I have to then open the laptop and make sure the monitor realizes its on and close it again. Its annoying at best. 3. I cant control the sound from my laptop. This is wildly annoying. Not sure if Ill return this or if theres better out there, but for the price I paid I would expect it to work a lot more consistently.

My old monitor was fading and having been pleased with previous LG products decided to give this a try and glad I did. Clean functional look and gives me more desk space. Picture is fantastic and colors look natural and also many simple adjustments for different uses. Plenty of inputs for several sources, I have three computers plugged in to it. Speakers are useful if you have none but I already had a desktop sound system which is much better. The small joystick control is a pleasure to use after years of the multi button systems that never felt natural. Some complained of the stand being cheap but I find it sufficient for what it is doing. Very satified with this purchase!!!
