Review on LG 27UP850-W: Borderless, HDR Display with Height & Pivot Adjustment, Anti-Glare Coating by Terronce Rhodes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great 4K monitor for PC, not so great for Mac

This 27" 4K monitor works great with a Windows PC or Mac running Windows with absolute text/font/window clarity. At 150% scaling in Win10 everything looks very good. Quality degrades at 125% or native resolution. But text in the browser looks amazing at any scale. It has something to do with how Windows handles permissions. But not so good for the Mac world. It's incomparable to what Windows can do on this 4K monitor. For some reason the Mac sees this monitor as a 61 inch monitor. This is probably a bug in macOS or Monitor. I tried different scaling options and even used the native resolution. But at any scale it lacked subtlety. At this price point and with a Mac as your main computer, this might not be a good investment. But if Windows is the main engine, then this will be an easy purchase. Last word! Maybe the problem isn't with the monitor, but with how macOS handles the resolution. I would prefer the 32" size for Macs.
