Review on LG 27UK650-W Monitor: FreeSync Technology, 4K Ultra HD, Tilt & Height Adjustment, Anti-Glare IPS Screen by Humberto Ramirez

I've been using the monitor for a few days now and I think I've come to a clear conclusion. For a little context, I work from home and use a monitor with a Macbook Pro. But the main reason I bought it was for my Xbox One X. Construction: Some people say it's cheap, I like the screen construction. The bezel is a bit wider than I thought it would be, but overall the profile is great, the monitor is light and thin and sits comfortably on my Vesa mount. Image Quality: At first I was a bit disappointed with the image. It has to be configured out of the box. I've changed the settings quite a bit and it's definitely starting to impress me. As someone else said, I would say the color quality is about 80% better than my Macbook Pro. which is pretty good (most monitors don't end up looking as good as Mac displays, but that's my opinion for example). I changed the settings quite a bit and now I have the settings I like with Xbox One X and also with Macbook Pro. This is good because I can toggle the input and it automatically shows the settings I have. I thought full brightness was great for Xbox and HDR, but when I'm working it's too much, so I set it to around 70%. I know true HDR requires 1000 nits, but I honestly think anything brighter than this display is going to be bad for your vision. I'm probably sitting about 2 feet away from him. - HDR-enabled games look great, just like Netflix. - Non-HDR games look great too. (I was particularly impressed with the level of detail in Overwatch.) There's a slight IPS glow in the corners of the panel when the screen is dark, which is to be expected but still a bit disappointing. For the price this is a fantastic display but due to the weak IPS glow I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Another thing to note, I was concerned that 4k on a monitor of this size would be overkill for gaming. It is not. I'm glad I went with a 27" monitor instead of a 32" 4K monitor as the pixel density is great and I think it looks less sharp on a 32" monitor, depending how far I sit from the monitor .
