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

I choose this monitor because it was 4k and it had a usb-c connection. Well after using it for a long time I dont recommend it. I would prefer to use a 2k monitor instead. I have two problems with it. Even dough it is an IPS panel if the image stays too long it burns the screen(I thought this wasnt an issue with this panel). Secondly, I thought that 60fps would be a cake to move but it is not. The screen has problems moving the resolution smoothly. I had the option of buying a 2k screen with 165fps and I would take that if I knew how this one works. Also, I cant use the usb-c as a display port/hdmi with my computer so it is an extra that I cant use but that is my computers fault.

I was debating for a while whether to get a larger ultra-wide monitor (my current one was 38) or to get two monitors instead. Even pre covid I worked primarily from home and am on my computer all of my waking hours. The ultra-wide was rarely ever beneficial to me. Ive got major attention deficit and always have multiple windows open. There was never any need to have an application fill an entire 34 wide screen and most of the space would be unused. Even with pbp, the screen is really too compact to feel truly comfortable. With two of these LG monitors, it really makes more sense for my use case. I have a full 27 inches for my work computer and another 27 inches for my personal Macbook. I can have zoom up all day and Slack without having to minimize anything. When work is done, I switch that one over to my gaming PC and now I have two computers for play. Having two monitors also really gives me the ability to free up some space believe it or not. I no longer have one long cumbersome panel smack dab in the middle of my desk. I have two monitors I can push aside as I see fit (I also mounted them on two separate gas spring arms on opposite ends of the desk.) I have much more freedom with my space now.

Great color and clarity. Connects quickly and easily with my M1 Max Macbook Pro. I knocked off one star because the included USB C cable is pretty short and the monitor doesnt work with anything but the included cables. I tried 2 different USB C cables from Apple and a generic one and neither worked. I called LG and they said they dont make a longer one and that is the only one that works with the monitor. I use 2 of these monitors with my laptop so a longer cable would make it much more convenient to connect the one thats furthest away from the computer.

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.

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!!!

This is by far my favorite monitor for my Macbook Air M1 2020. I love the colors right out of the box. I actually enjoy looking at this monitor more than looking at the screen on my Mac. The letters are so sharp and the colors vibrant. For the price, you are getting a high-quality monitor that makes the perfect friend for your Mac. I use Illustrator and Photoshop a lot and this monitor makes me stay focused on designing and be more creative. I highly recommend it.

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!

I bought this monitor for how versatile it would be in my setup. However, the main use is with my ps5. I had no desire to get an hdmi 2.1 4k tv as my display, so i settled for a 60hz 4k monitor. This one fit exactly what i was looking for. The 60hz is fine for the games i play, but maybe not for you. I hear hdmi 2.1 monitors will be released this year, so maybe wait on that if 60hz isnt enough for you. Now for the review. I am very picky about my visual and audio experience and this monitor lived up to my expectations. Out of the box, i really didnt like how the colors, brightness and sharpness looked. it just didnt have the pop of the LG 34gn850 despite being 4k and the 34gn850 being 1440p. Once i adjusted what i could with HDR on, i was a bit more satisfied, but still unimpressed. I then turned HDR off and everything changed. I messed with my settings and used the super resolution on high and that changed my whole perception. I was then very impressed. HDR just ruined the colors on ps5. They just didnt pop. The HDR is useless in my opinion and i wouldnt recommend using it. Super resolution has gotten a lot of hate from the reviews i read and maybe it is bad when used as a regular monitor, but as a gaming monitor, this option on high was perfect for me. I think it is worth getting the newer version that has the feature than an older monitor like the ul and uk if you are using it for gaming. Super resolution gets a 10/10 as a feature from me. The black levels are the main issue here. The blacks are almost grey no matter what settings you try. This doesnt bother me at all and is an issue with the 34gn850 as well. I think its just an ips monitor thing. I used an hp2511x tn panel before this and it had way better black levels, but also had way worse viewing angles. I guess its all up to preference when it comes to tn/ips/va but i think ips is still the best. The color accuracy and pop of the colors make ips the winner for me. The response time is fine. I havent done any technical analysis of it, but it doesnt feel any different than the tn panel i was using which was also 5ms. Just make sure you set freesync to extended and response time to faster in the settings. This monitor is great if you go through all the settings and tweak it to your liking. Colors stand out, super res is great. response time is good and the 4k is obviously the main selling point. The negatives are not enough to give it less than 5 stars for me, but i could see people having issues with black levels.

I like the size & look. Picture quality is not that great.

It is required that you use the supplied LG cable, that delivers video and power via USB-C. However, about half the time, the power is not delivered. If that goes unnoticed, you run out of power. To fix, you have to unplug and replug or wiggle the connection to get power. Not a big deal, but annoying given its frequency. This is not a single machine problem. We have 4 of these monitors for different people in the office, all of them have the same problem. Clearly a design issue with the cable.
