Review on LG 27UL850-W Display: Enhanced DisplayHDR 🖥️ Connectivity & 4K Resolution, Adjustable - 27UL850-W by Michael Hayes

The 27" LG 27UL850-W I purchased replaced a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Display that no longer works. The LG screen size is nice and the color is good too, which is important for pairing with Apple products. The monitor has 1 USB-C port on the back and that disappointed me. One of the biggest drawbacks of the monitor is that while it does have 2x USB 3.0 Type A ports on the back, in addition to the USB-C port. monitor, the built-in USB hub of this monitor should not be used. If the monitor goes to sleep, either by itself or because the attached MacBook Pro goes to sleep and then wakes up again, any external drives connected to the monitor's USB 3.0 ports will be forcibly disabled, which is a bad thing. I contacted LG support about this issue and they informed me that the monitor intentionally turns off the USB hub and thus shuts everything down. Because of this, this monitor only got 3 stars. Monitor color is good. This is a touchy subject for me as I have bought several expensive monitors from Dell, Viewsonic, NEC in the past where the color quality was poor no matter how many colors I calibrated with or without external calibration. calibration tools. As the color quality is good, which is the most important thing for me, I leave the monitor although I have to buy another external USB hub that ensures my external drives don't get disconnected when the laptop is on. goes into sleep mode. Also, my previous monitor had a built-in camera, so I had to get one of those too. If you're wondering why I didn't just go to the Apple Store and buy an LG monitor designed by LG and Apple, it's because I also have Windows computers and it was important to connect those computers via DisplayPort too be able. So if you're looking for a good quality 27 inch monitor and don't mind buying another USB hub and cameras, then you'll probably love this monitor. Oh, and if you have it in an existing VESA mount, it's 100mm tall and has rounded corners on the edges, so you may or may not be able to use an existing VESA mount with this screen.
