LG 27UK850-W 4K Monitor 27" UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Display, HDR10, USB Type-C Connectivity, AMD FreeSync, sRGB 99% Color Gamut, 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design - White

I got this monitor today and I have to say that it is really nice (also did a great job of adding to my setup). It worked without any problems, the HDR works well and the picture is fantastic on it. The only downside is that I have a little light bleed on the left side of the screen (picture included, nothing that would deter me from using it or cause me irritation I just thought it was worth mentioning (but I will update if it gets worse or other issues arise). Other than that no issues, not a dead pixel or anything else. ! Update 1: The light bleed was gone the next day and I haven't seen it since. A little strange but I am not complaining. !! Update 2: The light bleed I had when I first go the monitor (you can see the picture included) is completely gone and I have not seen it after the 2nd day of use, so give it a couple days to make sure it doesn't just disappear. I got this monitor because I do a lot of 3d modeling and photoshop work. So far I have done some drawings in photoshop and not a single complaint. I will update my review as I use it more. ! Update 1: I decided to give gaming a try with this monitor and while it is the first 4k monitor that I have owned. It was fantastic, I even got to use the HDR in THPS1 and it took the visuals to another level. But I will say if you find games with HDR capability, at least with the one I tested it took some fiddling with the settings to get it looking right. !! Update 2: The gaming performance is amazing, HDR gaming is spot on and the detail is generally unreal (I only used a 2k monitor for about 6 months before getting this and prior to that I was using 1080p. So leaps and bounds better. As for modeling with Maya, it works amazingly (a little laggy, I think doing all that work on much more pixels takes more work from my pc, but it isn't anything horrible. Just keep in mind to keep off any "effects" (ambient occlusion, motion blur, etc.) if you are animating to make sure that it plays smoothly, unless you have an epic system. Pros: - Great screen - HDR works well - Not a single dead picture - Beautiful 4k gaming and HDR support for games that offer it. -Beautiful for animating in Maya. -Beautiful for working on drawing in Photoshop Cons: - A small amount of light bleed off of the bezel ***Gone after a day or 2*** Unknowns: - Color Accuracy (I am planning on trying color correcting in a couple months when I get a calibrator to get an idea of how close everything is.)

I had a lot of anxiety over whether the resolution of this monitor is on par with iMac 27 5K or LG 5K monitor. Had worked with both monitors and played around at Apple Store with both. Always amazed at the resolution and clarity of both LG 5K and iMac 27. From a photographer and pixel peeper standpoint (and owner of LG OLED TV, iPhone X owner): this 27 inch LG is on par with both of the above LG 5K and iMac 27 5K for a fraction of the cost. 1) Resolution is beyond what is considered "retina" in my book. I cannot even run this monitor on its full 4K resolution as it is just beyond "retina" at that point. It is, for all intents and purposes, as "retina" my iPhone X and MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina display. I would not even hesitate to consider LG 5K monitor over this monitor as the 5K resolution is completely useless for practical purposes (i.e. content will look so small at 5K in a 27 inch monitor that it is unusable). 2) 27uk850 vs 27uk650: the USB-C is absolutely worth the extra 100$ cost. Not only integration with Apple ecosystem is seamless, but also the back of this monitor (and not the 650) has regular USB ports that can be used to hook up your peripherals too. For instance, my wireless mouse (not bluetooth, has a small receiver) is hooked up to the back of the monitor and works seamlessly with the MacBook. This saved from buying a dongle to convert my receiver for the mouse to USB-C and saved me from using a USB-C output on MacBook for connecting a mouse. 3) Charging of MacBook via USB-C is also key. Otherwise, I would have been left with absolutely no ports to hook up anything to my MacBook (1 USB-C gone for displays, 1 USB-C gone for charging). 850 is absolutely worth the price over 650. Would not even be able to live with 650 now that I see the difference. Please don't worry about whether this is "retina" enough compared to LG 5K at $1300. This is absolutely "retina" enough with excellent color reproduction. Now the whole DCI-P3 business, I'm not sure about. But then again, I'm a photographer and have never felt like I'm lacking "colors" in even my MacBook Pro monitor which is not covering the whole DCI-P3. The additional cost of having DCI-P3 is absolutely ridiculous in 2018 in my opinion and the difference likely very negligible for 97% of users. I could understand if your life depends on accurate color reproduction, but for the rest of us, DCI-P3 is not worth an extra $700. Excellent monitor. Speakers are also a nice addition. Reduces clutter from the desk. And can be turned off. In my opinion, the inclusion of USB-C and the back ports of the monitor to attach other peripherals via regular USB is absolutely worth the extra cost compared to 650, even not including the speakers.

Recently I upgraded my PC to something capable of outputting a 4K image, and I've been wanting to buy a 4K monitor for a while. My previous monitor was a Samsung 23" 1920x1080 monitor. I do occasional photo editing, which I figured the 4K resolution would be good for (as well as the additional screen space). I also like to play PC games occasionally. After reading some reviews, I decided to splurge a bit and buy this monitor, and I'm not disappointed. Some things I like about this monitor: - The picture quality is excellent. It is bright and looks clear and sharp. Colors are well-defined. I've only used the 4K for a few days so far, but with some photos, I feel like I could stare at them for a while and marvel at how good they look. My photos look nice on this display, and I also downloaded some 4K desktop wallpaper that just look great. Even though this is a PC monitor that isn't as big as a 4K TV, you can still see the detail in images, and it looks great. - It can connect to a USB type-C port on the PC and has a couple of USB ports on the back of the monitor. I didn't really think this was necessary and didn't really need it, but this is a nice feature. The monitor's USB ports would be useful for plugging in a webcam, for example, so that the USB cable doesn't have to go all the way to the back of the PC case. Or perhaps a USB printer or any other device that is located closer to the monitor than the PC case. - Good size for a PC monitor. It's bigger than my older 23" monitor, but it still fits on my computer desk at a good distance from my eyes and good level (after some re-organizing of my desk) for me to see it well. - It has built-in speakers, so it can be used as an audio output device if desired. Also, the stand lets you move the monitor up or down. One thing I was worried about was having dead pixels, but mine doesn't have any dead pixels that I can see. Overall I think this is a great monitor, and I'll enjoy using it.

I purchased this as a replacement to my Samsung 27" UH750 4k monitor for one main reason: USB-C connectivity with my Macbook Pro. I only have two USB C ports on my Macbook, so having to use them both with my Samsung in order to use the monitor and charge up at the same time was a major hassle. It left me with no USB connectivity for other stuff like external storage. That's where this monitor comes in. I was skeptical of how well it would work with my MBP since USB-C monitors are still a new technology, and are likely no where as good as they will be in a year or two from now. In about a week of usage, I have yet to have a single problem. Power delivery for my 13" MBP is great- I experience no loss of power when doing more intensive activities like encoding large video files. Not a single flicker or loss of image yet. To date, there is only one HUGE (for me at least) flaw that I have found in this monitor. When connecting to any device via USB-C, it limits the speed on the two USB-A ports on the back of the monitor to 2.0. I planned on using Windows To Go in this setup by mounting a SSD to the back of the monitor and running Windows off of it. I definitely can't maintain a stable boot of Windows 10 using this setup. I could use a USB-C to DP or HDMI cable for my MBP and then the USB-A ports would go back to 3.0 speeds, but in that case I might as well have purchased the UD88 model and saved about a hundred dollars. I really don't understand how this monitor can't output USB 3.0 speeds while maintaining a USB-C connection given that it still uses an external power brick. I'd think that the huge power brick would allow it to provide the necessary power to do this. I was bummed by this, but I didn't find it to be a deal breaker. Backlight bleed was minimal, and the image quality is excellent. I use it with my Xbox One X, and can verify that you will receive all green check marks in the 4K details screen. I had no trouble setting up the console with this monitor, even with FreeSync and HDR 10. Pros: Works great with Xbox One X and Macbook Pro Great image quality Responsive OSD controls Lots of ports Cons: External power brick USB-A ports default to 2.0 speeds if you connect a computer via USB-C Can't control volume through keyboard buttons unless connected to bluetooth speaker for audio (Don't think many monitors can do this though) Edit: 2 year update (2/1/2021) I’m still using this monitor daily now that I’m working from home and have yet to have a single issue. I’ve since added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock to my setup so the USB limitation mentioned in the review for me is a non-issue now. I currently plug in my webcam into one of the USB ports on the back and it works great! There are definitely many more thunderbolt monitors now since when I first bought this monitor but I’ve noticed almost all of them cost significantly more than this one does. I’m currently debating whether to switch to an ultrawide LG for my main monitor or add a second UK850 at this lower price point. I still recommend this monitor to any friends who ask.

The 4K display on the LG 27UK850-W 27" monitor is flawless. It's worth every penny. I upgraded to this monitor primarily because of the USB-C connectivity. I purchased a new Apple 13" MacBook Pro (2018) which has four USB-C ports as it's only way to charge and connect peripheral devices. I was skeptical that a single USB-C connection could provide data and power, but I am a true believer now. Amazingly, I only have ONE single USB-C cable connected from the laptop to the monitor - no tangle of laptop charging cables, wall transformers, or data cables. This makes it so much easier to disconnect the laptop and go mobile, and reconnect when you come home. The LG 27UK850-W 27" power block supplies ample power to the monitor, peripherals, and charging capability to the laptop. The monitor's two USB 3.0 ports are adequate to support my 4-port USB hub. Strangely, the supplied USB-C cable is a must for connecting your laptop - the genuine Apple USB-C cable won't work. The monitor also sleeps/wakes perfectly and causes no radio frequency interference with the bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. The internal speakers are average. I recommend getting a pair of decent powered speakers. I connect a pair of powered speakers to the monitor's audio input and they work perfectly. The sound is passed from the computer through the monitor to the speakers. The LG 27UK850-W 27" is a solid choice if you are considering purchasing a 4K UHD monitor. You won't be disappointed.

So glad I got this. I avidly read reviews on multiple monitors that had a USB-C outlet, and I liked the idea of 4K resolution with a 27" screen. I always used to rely on in person evaluation, back in the day when you could go to a Best Buy and look at all the different choices and judge for yourself the quality of color and image reproduction, but the year of Covid and basically general downsizing of tech stores made that impossible so I had to rely on reading about the qualities of my future purchase. I will attempt to briefly convey what I like about this device. No problems at all with shipping and packaging, and very easy to set up. Pretty much plug and play. I'm happy with the usb-C outlet that simultaneously charges my laptop--this frees up another power outlet for my home office set up. Also use the other usb outlets for charging, no downloading or web cam hook up so no complaints with any speed issues there. I don't have an elaborate set up where I would have any knowledge of testing the speed of the outlets, I saw that commented on other reviews so I'll leave you to their expert feedback on this. I'm very happy with the clarity of the picture, very good color reproduction next to my MBP 2018 so can't complain. I'm not a gamer so those type of issues wouldn't apply to my experience. I also am not tech savvy enough to comment on any "bleeding" or faulty pixels, but am very happy with the result when I stream movies. Purchased some additional speakers because I wasn't happy with the sound quality coming from this screen, and did not like that it did not respond to my keyboard controls either. Nice stable base, would hate if it wobbled as I type like some other devices per their reviews. Tilting and telescope options work well for my use; I did see another model that went from turned horizontal to vertical and that almost swayed me, but glad I saved the money as I really wouldn't need that feature anyway. Have used this now for ten months so no problems and no regrets choosing this model.

Like me, you are probably looking and searching to try and find the right monitor, which, is in fact really hard. Everyone says something different and one screen offers something the other doesn't. I pulled the trigger on this for these reasons and I will address a couple of things. First off, I'm reviewing this display based on the ports and features as well as editing and color accuracy as I do photography and video editing as well as connecting my 15 inch MacBook Pro. The screen is extremely crispy, and watching 4k content is amazing. The speakers that are built-in are decent and are totally usable if you want to keep your space clean and not add speakers. USB charging is completely fine on my MacBook pro even with heavy photo and video editing. It keeps my MacBook charged and I have no issues of my battery draining as others have stated. The screen is pretty color accurate, but with some tweaking you can make it better. You can find specs online for the best color accuracy. This is not for gamers. This is for those who do a lot of content creation and surfing the web and watching movies and it does gaming second. Its a 60-hertz panel with low latency and you can game on it fine. 4k gaming will be hard to push 60+ fps anyways. Both PC gaming and Xbox gaming results were pretty good as I didn't notice any screen tearing issues and it offers nice gaming features such as black stabilizer and response time changes and all. I kept looking and looking and glad I picked up this monitor. I have no issues with it and there is no light bleed when using besides the first bootup. The screen is great and overall I recommend it for the price.

I hardly ever write reviews for anything I purchase on Amazon. Honestly, most things I get are as expected. This was the first time I purchased a monitor sight unseen, and I was cautiously optimistic. The reviews were very good, so I took the plunge. Admittedly, I was nervous when I first hooked this up to my Macbook Pro 13". I plugged the USB-C cable provided with the display into the Macbook and voila...it came on. Unfortunately, it was at 30 Hz rather than 60 Hz, and I could notice that difference in scrolling. Sometimes it would connect at 60 Hz, sometimes at 30 Hz. I researched some more. I ended up buying a high quality Anker USB-C to USB-C cable that fixed that problem right up. If you have the same problem, it may just be the cable. The other frustration was that the picture setting default for the monitor was set to "Game." This made text on the screen very hard to read. I honestly thought there was a problem with the display. More research. After reading some blog posts online, I found out that changing the display setting to SMPTE-C fixed that right up. Now, the good stuff. This display, once I changed the cable and the display settings, is the most beautiful pairing with my Macbook Pro! The colors are perfect, display is sharp, bright. I have NO regrets and would not hesitate to buy more of these. The 4K LG display Apple sells is only 22". I'm shocked Apple doesn't have an option like this one (though I'm pleased as well, as I'm sure it would be more expensive). Run, don't walk, to buy this display. Just be ready if needed to get a new USB-C cable, and be sure to change the picture setting. Also, another lesson I learned: Thunderbolt 3 cables 18 inches long or less may work for USB-C, but longer than that typically won't. If you DO need another cable, be sure to buy a TOP of the line USB-C cable, not a Thunderbolt cable. Many of you already know, I'm sure, but there is a difference! I only have one remaining gripe: the speakers are really that bad. My iPhone puts out better sound (no exaggeration). Just buy a good pair of speakers. Honestly, after all the research I did, there's not really an ideal pairing of good sound and good display, unless you go with the ridiculously expensive LG Apple displays.

I originally bought this for school at the end of 2020. The display has been fantastic so far. I use it with my macbook pro using thunderbolt 3. That allows me to charge the computer while sending video which i love. The picture is great and the colours are good. It has a passthrough for 2 USB ports and also a 3.5mm audio jack which is really practical, letting you adjust the volume directly from the monitor. The stand lets you raise the display really high off your desk and you can even change the orientation to portrait. Although it is on the expensive side, it has been worth every penny so far!

Es mi primer monitor externo que compro, para Mac sirve perfecto ya que tengo la Pro del 2017 y con un solo puerto USB-C puedo cargarla y ver la imagen sin la necesidad de tantos cables, La imagen es excepcional y no he tenido ningún problema Lo uso para: *Progamar *Editar video en Final Cut Pro *Tareas básicas de correos, etc. Pros: -Si desconectas la Mac o no detecta imagen entra como a un modo reposo donde al conectarla de nuevo se prende en automático -USB-C con 2xUSB3 (la velocidad es mala) Contras: Realmente no le veo nada malo, solamente: -La velocidad del hub que trae es muy baja, por lo que se usaría para cosas de periféricos -El brillo más bajo a mi parecer es un poco alto (esto ya es criterio propio y creo que debo cambiar la iluminación de mi habitación) -****NO PUEDES CONTROLAR EL BRILLO/SONIDO DESDE LA MAC****** todo es a través de su botón inferior, no es molesto pero se podría controlar desde una app. -El sonido es muy malo, parecen bocinas de baja calidad, se soporta pero es molesto que no tenga nada de bajos.

This is a fantastic monitor. Highly functional, USB-C works very well to charge and carry full 4k UHD video at 60hz and the monitor is elegant and works very well. The sleep and charge functions work perfectly with Mac, and I couldn't be happier with a monitor in this price range. The resolution is fantastic, the display (text) looks just as good as Mac Retina display. If you're looking for an high quality monitor that is not overpriced, and a monitor that works well with Mac (and probably PCs too), this is the best bet. If you have a Mac, you can't go wrong buying this monitor, this is one of the best in the market at this size and price. (The Samsung SH850 series is so much inferior to this, don't even consider it).

A pricey monitor, but the usb type c functionality is a blessing. The monitor comes along with all cords, which are of excellent quality. i primarily use it as a usb c hub for generic office use. the type c delivers a charge of 60W. most 65w laptops will show that the charge is insufficient but still get charged although a bit slowly. the stand is rock solid and feels premium. the inbuilt speakers are not that good but do get loud. the displaybis sharp and the screen has a matte non glossy look which doesnt look great but is easy on the eyes if you use the monitor for long duration. i thought it was better to get this then buy a std monitor and then add a usb c dock.

Gran calidad, HDR en juegos (xbox one x) y USB que carga tu equipo y transmite video en automatico. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
