Excellent product, the best quality.

There is already another, similar in characteristics, "ski" 27UL850-W, with which I am quite satisfied, and in pair with which I took this one. Also satisfied: in fact, everything is the same: - external PSU (heat source removed, easier replacement), - convenient bracket with three degrees of freedom, - good color - ok ports, - USB hub, only better. More brightness and contrast, this can be seen at least in the comparison of the display of HDR content. The best color rendition is declared, but…

Pros
  • Color rendition, software, external PSU.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

Since there are no analogues in terms of price / quality and you are not embarrassed by the average quality of plastic, I definitely recommend it. Works great with mac air m1.

Pros
  • Picture quality, type-c. Compatible with both mac and windows. A complete set of cables for any occasion. Usb works like a hub.
Cons
  • The build is disgusting. There is a gap of 1-2 mm in the corner. Is it in a 40k monitor?

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

In general, I liked the monitor, but the quality of the matrix in the future 3-6 months noticeably decreases, matrix defects appear in my case, these are black pixels. Which in my opinion is not entirely acceptable in such models.

Pros
  • Image quality, you can recharge the poppy from usb-c.
Cons
  • The quality of the matrix, unfortunately after half a year black dots began to appear. At first I thought that these were motes and they could be wiped off with a special cleaner for monitors, but alas.

I buy the monitor again! The first one was the same almost only the UK marking. UP brought a better matrix and a more powerful power supply. Mac on M1pro is not discharged. Overall a good monitor. But, as in the UK version, the leg is a complete nightmare. If the wife writes nearby, then the monitor shakes from side to side. When working in it constantly crunches plastic. Looks like it's getting hot and something is deforming. Assembled for a C grade . the bottom strip with the inscription LG…

Pros
  • Colors, powerful charging
Cons
  • Build quality,

The product is terrible, much below my expectations.

I will definitely never use delivery for expensive equipment again. It is not possible to check and return in case of a marriage upon delivery, just as for a return, I already have to contact the seller directly, who may be from me on the other side of the city. On the website, the "Return product" button does not work.

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I am satisfied with the purchase. I recommend. Thanks to everyone who left a review before me - I chose according to reviews on the market. Some pros: Shows fine, the sound is good. We use LG channels, Apple TV + and Kinopoisk - without complaints and freezes. Bluetooth with apple and samsung headphones - no problem Has some cons: After exiting the application, the headphones may fall off, and then only reboot

The model is different from LG 27UL850-W. I use both, at UP the screen rotates not only vertically, but also horizontally, USB Type-C charging with 96 W output. In the photo: 27UP850-W on the left, 27UL850-W on the right.

Pros
  • Excellent model for work with MacBook.
Cons
  • For me, none.

Excellent monitor, bought in the LG brand store. I was specifically waiting for this particular model to appear on sale, because of the support for 96W transmission via USB Type C. I use it with Mac and PC - no complaints. Pros below: 1. USB Type C with 96W support 2. Excellent picture 3. USB hub on the rear panel - connected the docking station for iPhone 3. High-quality construction of the panel itself and the stand 4. Convenient and clear menu Has some cons: 1. External power supply 2. Cable

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Happy with the word. In fact, if without perfectionism - a monitor without calibration with the correct presets can work quite correctly, the macOS will build a profile for itself with the correct colorants and linear vcgt, which will not be far from those measured by the spectrophotometer. Windows users from the profile site can download or even simply extract from any photo of a modern iPhone - it will also work. However, mid-priced monitors have advanced a lot in recent years in reaching the

Pros
  • I sat on Asus for several years with Adobe RGB coverage - for working with color in printing - a sweet deal. But then such an idea came up, should I switch to a slightly smaller Display P3 coverage and a higher resolution, from Full HD to full-fledged Ultra HD (4K). And then, of course, the prices for good Adobe RGB models knocked me down, something decent - starting from 80 thousand, while very decent with Display P3 - "only" 40 thousand. And it's not a huge loss in coverage, plus Apple's widespread coverage, there are simply physically even more models on the market than models with Adobe RGB coverage, the competition is higher in this average between sRGB and Adobe sector. And I highly appreciate the monitor's belonging to one or another standard coverage, applephiles will understand me - there, even without calibration, the standard is a standard, and not god knows where the coverage came from, which is not like anything. No, I'm for Photoshop, calibration and all that, but not all damn programmers, unfortunately, want to bathe in color management in general, and I'm not only in Photoshop. The standard coverage itself is cool. Coverage is clearly more than sRGB - that's cool. Huge Adobe RGB in applications without color management is not convenient, and Display P3 is convenient, oddly enough, the iPhone and iMac convinced me of this. About the same thoughts. I have a monitor with licked vcgt for a long time, but over the years the Full HD resolution has certainly become outdated. Even in my purely publishing more convenient format of 1920x1200, and not just the game 1920x1080, something was not enough for me.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

A week after the purchase (02/02/2022), the power supply of the monitor broke. He has a remote, non-standard, high power (because the monitor supports PD). I handed it over to the BP at the Service Center - after a week and a half they gave me a new one. Has some pros: Bright picture! Smoothed letters when connected to a MacBook (scale up to 1080p)! Nice stand. Acceptable highlights. With its cons: The signal source does not automatically switch (I have it from HDMI to Type-C) - I have to do it

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Almost the only affordable model for linking with poppy. Different pros: The UP version, unlike the UL version, has USB-C (Charge Transfer Power) 96W. MBP pro 16 charges even under heavy loads. Connected with one complete cord, everything works. Color rendition for the inexperienced eye is completely satisfied. The settings are minimalistic and clear. Illumination is uniform, without glare. Cons: There is a noticeable delay between the appearance of the picture on the poppy and on the monitor -

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I bought it in aliexpress with discounts for 38900, I use it for 2 weeks. I took it under mb air m1, the image quality is super, the pixels are not visible, there are no glare and dead pixels. minus a point for the build quality (pictured), it’s not critical for work, I didn’t bother with the exchange / return. If you plug headphones into the monitor via the jack, you can’t control the volume in any way, you have to stick it into the poppy itself. everything else is great.

Pros
  • image quality, ppi, design
Cons
  • build quality, there is no way to control the sound if you connect headphones to the monitor

Took this monitor even before the madness with the course. I chose it purely for the firmware according to the criteria: 27", 4k resolution, USB-C for power and poppy and image transfer, an adequate price tag. Actually, the choice with such parameters is not very big :) I took this ski and am quite satisfied with myself. Some pros: The main thing is a good nice picture. Appearance - thin frames. The presence of usb-c - plugged one cable into the poppy and that's it. But you can't help but…

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

I took it for work, it satisfies all the needs more than (work with code, texts, etc.). With its pros: I've been using it for a week, I don't know much about monitors myself, and the first experience with a 4k monitor is with the current model. I chose more based on reviews + watched video reviews on YouTube. I use macbook pro 15 2022 in conjunction. I checked the monitor for dead pixels and backlight through eizo monitor-test, support for brightness control through the keyboard / touchbar of…

The right product for me, the price suited me.

Purchased in the LG brand store, delivered quickly, everything is ok. Picked it up from Metropolis by self, you can test the panel, but there is no way to connect and check all the ports on the store equipment (take a laptop and wires with you), in my case it turned out to be a critical drawback, that's why: 1. I came home, connected the laptop via type-c - the panel does not respond, it does not see the signal. Calling the store is a separate task, the queues at the hotline are huge, waiting…

Pros
  • Meets expectations, rich equipment,
Cons
  • 1. My copy - small highlights at the edges, not perfect black / gray, but without dead pixels, in general, a standard story for this class of IPS panels. 2. The order in the LG store hung on hold until he called to confirm the order. 3. Receiving a signal via Type-C does not work (more details in the comment)

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

In order for the brightness adjustment on a poppy to work normally, you can find the MonitorControl program on the github. With it, the brightness is regulated by standard buttons on the MacBook. Has pros: The quality of the picture, the stand allows you to quite conveniently and easily adjust the position of the monitor. All wires you may need are included, both usb-c and hdmi. Works great with macbook, charges, usb works. Its cons: Build quality. In general, if you just put it and do not…

There are some variations, but tolerable on the whole.

The quality of providing additional services in Amazon. When buying, I ordered the service of checking the monitor for defective pixels for 590. I wanted to check it myself, but I decided to play it safe and trust the specialist, and then additionally look at the monitor myself The specialist was shocked. Instead of installing the monitor on a regular stand with a quick installation system, he put the monitor on the table with the top edge, while the monitor began to fall over and almost fell…

Pros
  • The monitor is excellent, pleases everyone: - High PPI with a large diagonal - Connection to MacBoock Pro 13 on M1 with one wire for charging and connecting peripherals. At the same time, the “LG UltraFine” color profile is loaded in the system and interface scaling is available
Cons
  • There are lights. But they are only visible in an unlit room when shooting with a camera

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

I work with a monitor in printing and multimedia. I am satisfied with the purchase, calibrated 14 months ago with a spectrophotometer and nothing else is needed. Before that, there was a larger color gamut of Adobe RGB FHD format. I specifically went for a slightly smaller mainstream multimedia and Apple P3 - it seems to be more balanced and does not cause any complaints either in programs with color management or in programs without color management, in the latter the Adobe RGB standard is not

Pros
  • Claimed multimedia color gamut DCI-P3 is verified by calibration with a spectrophotometer. In monitor mode 4, the tone-transmitting function of the sRGB gamut is accurately reproduced, that is, in this mode it works in the Apple standard - Display P3 and actually does not need calibration, the vcgt tone-transmitting curves of the profile are obtained in mode 4 almost linear, that is, knowing this from the reviews of calibration modes - may or may not be calibrated. 4k IPS matrix is ​​satisfied in terms of resolution and detail. Scaling to my vision and with such a diagonal in the operating system is required. Font smoothing on such a super-small pixel is simply gorgeous, man-made screenshots are gorgeous.
Cons
  • I don’t like the fact that the market does not rank monitors and laptops by color gamut at all, and this is the most important. I searched in another service for coverage, but I bought it here for 41at the end of 2022. I look at the price has grown specifically, but the monitor is worth it.

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

Everything would be fine, if not for: non-consistent behavior depending on the assembly of the monitor - below I will describe how this manifests itself. I and two of my friends have the same identical monitor, including PN, only the assembly date is different. When I connect to a MacBook Pro on Intel - there are no problems, neither in normal mode nor in HDR; My wife has a MacBook Air M1 - the monitor does not work at all with her laptop; One friend has all laptops only on M1 / ​​M1 Pro, his…

Pros
  • Brightness, contrast, color reproduction for non-professional artistic activities, HDR, laptop charging with data transfer and images with sound through one type-c cord, little glare, very comfortable to read text (code) on it, vesa mount for bracket.
Cons
  • Sound, huge external power supply, non-removable power supply cable, inconsistent behavior depending on the monitor assembly.
