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

First, when connected to my MacBook Pro 16, this is an awesome monitor. Setup was easy, and it gracefully handles being plugged in, and unplugged. The speakers on the back are even useful. Now for the bad. Theres no easy way to adjust the sound when the app doesnt present a volume slider. When using with Linux, it sort of works, but there are no settings that can place the monitor in some kind of comparability mode, so I get half a screen what is basically unusable. This means that in my dual setup, If I want to do development on Linux, I need to use another monitor.

Running this on a Macbook Air 2018. Its great, once its configured at a proper resolution -- almost as good a screen as the Airs own Retina. Has a matte finish, but thats no issue to me. Displays text and graphics quite sharply. The only drawback is that I also tested it with a 2014 Mac Mini, and for that there is simply no adequate resolution that looks good, even via the utility SwitchResX which is my go-to in such cases. But with modern hardware I wouldnt think anybody would have cause for complaint, and I certainly like both the USB-C cable for delivering power to my laptop and the extra ports on the back, including two USB-3 ports I use for things like external drives. Highly recced. You wont likely be sorry.

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.

A very nice monitor. 4k footage looks amazingon it. Well built and very hi quality.

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 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.

Had it paired with my Mac Studio. Like the color and text, but the back of the monitor looks very cheap. It’s not a pretty white/silver plastic. I end up returning it.

Not the greatest monitor I’ve ever owned but not bad for the price. Only gripes: 1. The arching stand is atheistically pleasing but functionally ridiculous. Takes up a great deal of real estate on the desk and does not seem as stable as a more traditional monitor stand. 2. Why on earth would anyone send the manual on CD in the year 2023? Either print out a one pager on how to navigate the menu system or give us a QR code to find it on your website. I just want to plug and play, not go through a wild goose chase to find out how to use all the features I paid for.

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.

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!
