LG 27UK850-W Monitor with FreeSync and Multiple Adjustment Options Review

I almost never write reviews for what I buy from Revain. To be honest most things I get are what I expect. This was the first time I've bought a monitor scope unnoticed, and I was cautiously optimistic. The reviews were very good, so I took a chance. I'll admit I was nervous when I first connected it to my Macbook Pro 13". I plugged the USB-C cable that came with the display into my Macbook and voila. Unfortunately it was 30Hz and not 60Hz , and I could tell this difference Sometimes it…

I wanted to love this monitor, I really did. It was the solution to everything I needed for a productive workflow. It had a USB-C input that plugged into the 2 USB ports on the back of the monitor and an audio jack that I could connect to my desktop speakers. It seemed like the perfect solution to not only make my setup at home more user-friendly, but also to make my work in the classroom a lot easier since I'm a college computer science student. When I first got the monitor everything worked…

I was a little hesitant about buying this monitor or a cheaper non-USB-C monitor. Given how much USB-C or Thunderbolt hubs cost plus the convenience, I think the slightly increased cost is worth it. This monitor was released in 2018 so you can get better monitors these days but definitely no less than $500. This one was around $700 when it came out, so the price is actually pretty solid right now. What did I like? Assembling: The monitor was ridiculously easy to assemble and took about 5…

I bought this as a replacement for my 27" Samsung UH750 4k monitor for one main reason: to be able to connect USB-C to my Macbook Pro. I only have two USB-C ports on my Macbook, so using both with my Samsung to use the monitor and charge it at the same time was a major hassle. This left me with a USB connection for other things like external storage. USB-C monitors are still a new technology and probably won't be as good in a year or two as they were in a week of use, I haven't had a single…

I was very concerned about whether this monitor's resolution would match that of the iMac 27 5K or LG 5K monitor. Have worked with both monitors and played with them in the Apple Store. Always amazed at the resolution and clarity of both the LG 5K and iMac 27. From the perspective of a photographer and pixel watcher (and an LG OLED TV owner, an iPhone X), this 27-inch LG is as good as that LG 5K and iMac 27 5K at a fraction of the cost. 1) The resolution goes beyond what is called "retina" in…

I bought this monitor and am happy with it so far. I think I was lucky I didn't notice any glare. And certainly no dead pixels. Still takes some getting used to the higher resolution due to the dual display setup. I still installed one of my existing panels alongside it. Different resolutions make it interesting/annoying to drag windows between screens. I plan to use it for photo editing, coding and other office tasks. A higher resolution is useful for spreadsheets. So far my complaints have…

Excellent build quality, color and sharpness. I love this monitor for daily work and the design. I'm using it connected to a 2018 MacBook Pro via USB-C. That's good because it charges fairly well, not as fast as the adapter that came with the computer but close enough. Just be careful, if your system settings are set to turn off displays or put your computer to sleep, the monitor will go to sleep as the drives get "disk improperly ejected" and your laptop will stop charging will. Pros: build…

I recently upgraded my computer to something that supports 4K output and I've wanted to buy a 4K monitor for a long time. My previous monitor was a 23" Samsung monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. I occasionally edit photos for which I think the 4K resolution (plus the extra screen real estate) is fine. I also enjoy playing computer games sometimes After reading some reviews I decided to spend some money and buy this monitor and I was not disappointed Some things I like about this monitor:

As many say, the picture quality is good. For the price it wasn't the best value. I had about two years before the corners started turning white. Now, after two and a half years of moderate use, the corners of the screen are white. Cable routing isn't well thought out, this monitor looks sloppy on any desk that shows the back of things. Other reviews point to various USB issues. It doesn't look good next to a 27-inch iMac. The matte screen looks odd next to the Apple screen. I figured I could…

Image quality, ease of setup, and product looks are top-notch. I am very happy with my purchase. I'm using it on a brand new 27 inch iMac (Intel based). My only real complaint is that most of the customization menu options are unavailable. All I can adjust is Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness when using "Custom". And all other presets are very dull (especially next to my iMac 5k screen) even at a brightness of 100. I was able to get it to look pretty good with brightness is 100 and contrast is

I have a DEL PRECISION 3630 with a GEOFORCE RTX 2060. I have two identical LG MONITORS (LG 27UK850-W 27" 4K UHD IPS monitor with HDR10 with USB Type-C connectivity and FreeSync) but it has long took me a while to figure out how to run both monitors at the same time in extended view, the graphics card has a display port, an hdmi connector and a dvi connector, i have monitor 1 with the display port and a 10 -ft cable connected, I have monitor 2 connected with a 10ft cable HDMI

This is the second 27 inch monitor I bought this summer. The first, Lenovo, is usable enough but wasn't fully 4K and had an odd lag when trying to access the app dropdowns and dock. It cost over $100 and came with a simple plastic stand. But suitable for my office on vacation. This LG is an improvement in picture quality (true 4K and good enough for standard office work/zoom calls etc). Its construction is certainly sturdy, with a metal (aluminum?) stand and thin bezel. , even a manual cable…

I'm so glad I got this. I've been reading reviews of several USB-C monitors avidly and loved the idea of 4K resolution on a 27-inch screen. Buy and view all the different options and judge for yourself the color quality and picture reproduction but the year of Covid and the general downsizing of hardware stores made this impossible so I had to rely on reading about the qualities of my future purchase. I'll try to convey briefly what I like about this device. No problems with shipping and…
