Review on LG 27UL500-W 4K UHD IPS Monitor 🔝 with Freesync, HDR, Tilt Adjustment, and Wall Mount Compatibility by Mike Dawson

First, it's too bright. My eyes hurt after just looking at it for ten or twenty minutes by default. After reducing the color saturation and brightness and spending centuries tweaking the settings, they now only hurt after an hour or so compared to my old Acer, which I can work on all day with no apparent eye strain (although I do occasionally need to refocus). Time). often on objects further / outside the window). So if you want a monitor that will display something bright and clear to people across the room and stand out with rich colors in brightly lit environments. it is great. If you want to read simple text on it, use most applications, surf the Internet or play many games. not so great. Next, it's not getting dark enough. In games, instead of black or dark, you get only a dark gray color, but with a distinct shine and shine. Even with a truly "black" image in fullscreen or loading screen, it's just dark gray with partially visible backlight bleeding in some areas, but backlight bleeding at the edges to the side seems to vary greatly from element to element which Darkness of the screen itself is just awful in many ways. If you're buying 4k, you're probably working with images, video, or other media, and that inability to render black is a big problem for that. When you play games they are varied, but with the likes of Dark Souls with lots of dark areas, I constantly feel like I'm looking at a gray monitor and not black areas, let alone 4k with a 60Hz refresh rate to be honest not the best gaming monitor for most types of games (civilization or similar is fine, but pretty much any type of real-time action/combat/exploration would probably be better with a lower resolution but higher refresh rate, and they're cheaper in the graphics) the card also doesn't play at 4k, which to be honest is hardly noticeable compared to the next lower resolution). The next monitor I buy will definitely be a 1440 at 120Hz+. Aside from being cheaper, the screen sharpness is pixel perfect/sharp at most seat distances on screens smaller than 32 inches, but the refresh rate is very good when I'm gaming or doing certain work. Especially with a 1ms refresh time, there can be visible blurring behind some color changes, which I notice when 3D modeling with assets that don't have default colors set yet (e.g. lots of light/saturated options with dark/grey backgrounds). ). , move them and you'll notice that there's a bit of aftercolor left for the apparent duration, especially on green/pink and gray.
