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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The thin bezel's claim of "virtually frameless display on three sides " is completely misleading.

Don't get me wrong, I love the picture on this monitor and I love the hardware color calibration. My demands on marketing. One of the reasons I chose this monitor over similar models from other brands was that it has virtually no bezels on three sides, making it perfect for a dual monitor configuration. Yes, the plastic bezel on 3 sides is about 1/16 inch wide. What they don't say is that the image doesn't extend to the bezel - it stops at 1/4 inch, leaving a black screen stripe on three sides. For some reason I took that statement to mean that the image actually extends to the bezel. looks like most high-end modern TVs (and looks like a lot of the cheaper monitors I see at best). Instead, it doesn't differ much from the thicker bezel. The end result is the same, a black stripe over 1/2 inch wide between two monitors side by side.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Unattractive design
