LG 27MK600M-B 27" Full HD IPS Monitor with Radeon FreeSync Technology and Virtually Borderless Design

Comment

This is my first 32" computer monitor. Im coming from a Del 27" with 1440 resolution that I loved but didnt take with me when I moved offices. This larger size (32") monitor with less resolution (1080) would appeal to someone who uses it for watching video. Or maybe for someone who needs larger sized fonts or might be visually impaired. For a software developer, however, it feels like Im sitting with my nose 5" from a big screen TV. Its comically large. As Im darting around the screen from one editor to the next, flipping between apps, etc., I use less eye-only movement to scan across the screen and more full head movement. I didnt realize how tiresome that would become. And the visual quality is simply not to the standard Ive come to know. I purchased this LG 32" in November 17. Now ten months later, Im already replacing it with something else. But just to make sure Im clear, I think its more of a function of 1080 resolution I dont like vs the product itself.

Ordered 3 of these monitors to replace the 24 inch monitors that were used previously. Within a month, one of them no longer works properly. It is not recognized as the correct monitor on the computer and will only display 1024x768 and 800x600 resolutions. The other two work fine for now, but how long until they fail or exhibit similar symptoms is anybodys guess. It is definitely the monitor, as I have plugged the other two into the same hardware, video card and they work fine. Also plugged the defective one into another computer, same behavior. Ive always been a fan of LG, but I think this will be the last product I buy from them.

If you will be using this product as a stand up model on the stand provided then youre good to go. It has awesome color and clarity and has a couple different options for video connection. HOWEVER, if youll be using this model for hanging it on a wall bracket for use of a TV or computer monitor like I am then you need to consider the following. The connections for the power cord is good to go because its small enough that it wont cause trouble while hung up on wall. But the video (VGA) and HDMI location is in a horizontal location and not vertical. meaning that when you attempt to plug in the cord for VGA or HDMI it sticks out so much that you cant hang it on a wall bracket even if you were to crush the wires it still wont go. The design team of this model should have made these connections vertical connections so the cords could be plugged in and hung on the wall. THE SOLUTION: Purchase QVS CC388A-MFD VGA Male-To-Female Adapter for the VGA connection or a Bluwee HDMI Extension Cable High Speed 90-Degree Angle HDMI Male to Female Extension Wire Cord HDMI Extender - Gold Plated Plugs, Black (0.5FT) for the HDMI connection. ONE OF THOSE ITEMS WILL BE NEEDED IF YOU PLAN TO HANG THIS ON THE WALL AS A MONITOR. CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION TYPE AND USE ONE OF THE TWO OPTIONS I PROVIDED.

Too big for a 1080p resolution. You definitely notice the pixels. We returned for a higher resolution model.

The screen is too glossy for my room. During the day it shows a lot of reflection from windows behind me, even with the shades down. Otherwise its perfect for me. It displays everything a bit larger than my old 24" monitor, which is just what I need as my eyes get older.

This is a beautiful monitor and fit the space perfectly where it was needed. However, I tried connecting it this evening to a brand new HP Envy Desktop via HDMI, it says no signal and the toggle to "menu" screen was grayed out. Called HP, who remoted into the pc and suggested I contact LG. I contacted LG via chat, and after trying several things, to no avail, the person had me try to update the "OnScreen Control" app, which of course, asked me to restart, so I was disconnected from her. Next I called LG and a very kind lady had me give my purchase information and asked me to box it up and she is sending me a label to ship it to them for testing. I will know in ten days if there is a problem or what to do about it. Very disappointed. Not working out of the box.

If I had to do it all over again, I would not buy this monitor. First, it is very flimsy, and by that I mean the stand that it comes with is not sturdy and the monitor tilts forward naturally. There is no way to adjustment the angle. Another frustrating thing is that the VGA port on the monitor did not work. I was forced to buy a display-port cable. Other than that the image quality pretty good.

I bought a "large" monitor about 10 years ago. It was a KDS2600w (26" LCD). It was awesome and it still works perfectly. This monitor is a HUGE improvement over the KDS. It is not much larger but gosh darn, monitor quality has improved greatly during the past 10 years. Everything is beautiful. Photos, videos, and, games all look amazing. Granted, I updated my graphics card also but dang. Its like I went from 2008 to 2018. Which did actually happen. The gloss screen is the only reason I gave this a 4 star. I generally use my computer at night so it is not a big issue. It is an issue during daytime use. You could use this monitor as a mirror. There is a market of products to make a gloss screen matte. Products are available but they are expensive. OH! Also, this larger monitor uses less than half the power of my old monitor!

Clean, crisp picture at a very affordable price. Before this I was using a 32 inch Samsung television connected to my PC with a HDMI cable. When using the HDTV text and colors looked off it was at 1920x1080 but cleared up considerably at a lower resolution (1600x900); this monitor looks GREAT at 1920x1080! I am using this on a Ubuntu Linux machine with onboard video connected using display port. I am not a gamer so I dont know how it would do with a powerful video card that pushed high frame rates but it does great for web surfing/desktop publishing/streaming HD videos. I didnt even put the software/driver disc in so I cant comment on the advanced "split screen" features. The adapter that connects the monitor to the base could be made a little better, it shakes a little and the monitor is a little wobbly. It also uses an oddly shaped wall wart for power, there should be enough room in the bottom of the case to put the power supply inside and use a regular power cable but they didnt take that route. The power adapter is so large it will easily block at least one if not two outlets on a standard power strip. Those two issues are the only reason I did not give 5 stars.

Overall im happy with my purchase. Image quality was good, No regrets. Two things i didnt like... As others have mentioned the screen is very shiny, and could be an issue in certain circumstances. The other is that it has a large power plug that takes up multiple valuable plug spaces.
