LG UltraFine UHD 27-Inch 4K UHD 2160p Computer Monitor 27UN850-W, IPS with VESA DisplayHDR 400, AMD FreeSync, and USB-C, White

Easy - connect your PC with display port, use one of the HDMI inputs for your 4k Roku stick, do some PC tasks, then take a break and watch a movie on Netflix or Amazon. **Nice bright picture with HDR. You can adjust picture mode individually in display port, and HDMI, etc. I have it set for HDR effect for both DP and HDMI. **Having an IPS panel means super rich, and vibrant colors. **Also, 350 nits of brightness is plenty bright for HDR! Note: This LG 27UN850-W 27 Inch Ultrafine UHD Monitor also has a USB C-port that can charge your laptop or cell phone. Allows you to display whats on your cell, or laptop directly on the monitor just by plugging into the USB C-port, while also charging the connected device. ***I have NOT used the USB C-port yet, as I purchased this monitor mainly for connecting my Dell desktop PC using the Display Port, and for using my 4K Roku stick (HDMI port) for watching NETFLIX and AMAZON Prime movies. To find out more about this monitors USB C-port (a great feature that other monitors DO NOT have), watch some YouTube reviews.

Im not going to write a long review, but Im a programmer and this monitor is the perfect size for my desk and the resolution gives me just the right amount of real estate. Im sure its good for gaming to, but I have tried that at all. One thing that really impressed me is that I plugged the included USB-C cable into my laptop (very new Lenovo) and it powers the laptop and does video. My whole setup has just one power plug now, which is amazing! My laptop charger now stays in its bag.

I was looking for a monitor for coding and this LG monitor is just doing its job - text looking crisp and clear, text background is not hurting my eyes and it is just looking like a good monitor.

I choose this monitor because it was 4k and it had a usb-c connection. Well after using it for a long time I dont recommend it. I would prefer to use a 2k monitor instead. I have two problems with it. Even dough it is an IPS panel if the image stays too long it burns the screen(I thought this wasnt an issue with this panel). Secondly, I thought that 60fps would be a cake to move but it is not. The screen has problems moving the resolution smoothly. I had the option of buying a 2k screen with 165fps and I would take that if I knew how this one works. Also, I cant use the usb-c as a display port/hdmi with my computer so it is an extra that I cant use but that is my computers fault.

EDIT: There is On-Screen control for Mac users on newer models its just that LG kind of dropped the ball on making it easy for Mac users to find and install it. On LG.com go to Support, then Software & Drivers. Don’t use the search field they provide because for many model numbers it will say there is no matching product. Scroll down, click on monitors and search for your model manually. If your model doesn’t have a Mac download try the next closest monitor to your model. Also, worth pointing out is that 27UN850-W is the newest model and 27UL850-W is the previous model. They are both practically the same with very minor spec differences but the newest one is currently cheaper by almost $100. ---------- Heads up, their advertised On-Screen Control including Screen Split is not available to MacBook users with this monitor. In fact basically only ONE model is supported! And apparently according to other user reviews that one doesnt even have the basic functionality advertised. So just keep that in mind when purchasing an LG monitor if you are a Mac user. With that said, if that is not a deal breaker for you this is still an excellent monitor.

For the $$, I cant imagine a better monitor. No hiccups at all. For keyboard brightness controls, you can find a few apps to accomplish that. I wish it had automatic brightness control, but OK. The curved stand base is stylish, but awkward on your desk.

Picture quality is good. I tried contacting amazon for an issue regarding speakers but they didn’t help me. The speakers doesn’t work with macbook.

This is the second one I’ve got that’s similar to each other I wanted a double screen system for my computer and and I love the way it works only thing is my older screens a little darker not enough to really make a difference the new one is a very good screen

I just got this monitor the other day and the pic quality from what I was coming from which was a old 1080P monitor 4K is amazing so far it is better then I expected and very bright I will update my review if anything comes up that is not positive but so far it is awesome !!!!!

A very nice monitor. 4k footage looks amazingon it. Well built and very hi quality.
