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

Comment

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!

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.

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.

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

PIXEL PERFECT !!! Great replacement monitor for the workstation. Uses about 30 watts, which is less than that of the 22 inch, lower resolution LED monitor it replaced. The "glass" is non-glare, but smooth, unlike many of the matte types. Very nice. It was delivered two days after the afternoon order was placed, and that was standard/free shipping! Im happy.

My daughter manages the childbirth and neonatal education programs at a major hospital, and was frustrated going back and forth between several applications which she needs open to manage her workload, and before Christmas was asking about multiple monitors. I did some research and in spite of the negative reviews with respect to resolution, gave her this monitor for Christmas as it appeared designed to simultaneously display multiple applications. A few days ago she sent me this text: "My screen is working so well! I am soooo happy!" I set this up for her late on Christmas day, so I got to see it first hand. The resolution on this monitor appeared to me to be identical to the resolution of her Dell laptop, and the resolution on the LG monitor was perfectly fine for running email, a calendar app, and other apps. I do not understand the issues others have raised about this monitors resolution, but we are not using it to run hi-res movies. If you need more monitor real estate to run multiple apps simultaneously with the same resolution you would get on a laptop, this is a great solution. The only negative is that the set-up instructions are so minimal they are worthless. Setting the monitor up was pretty obvious but getting it to work with the pc was a bit of a challange, but several Google searches later I found the solution: hold down the Windows key and (and I aplogize but I dont remember which other key, but it was a letter) a letter key, and it brings up a menu so you can select how you want the monitor to display from the pc.

This display is an incredible value. Color and clarity are excellent, port diversity a nice plus. I’m using it a second display from a MacBook Pro via a mini display to HDMI cable and it performs flawlessly. I’m a bit spoiled by the 5k display on my iMac, but the 1080 picture on here does look really good. Easy to view at any angle. The reader mode is a nice add on but pretty unnecessary as you can control those things from your computer with much more precision. The aesthetic is great, no visible buttons, very simple and clean look. The 32” size is working out great for all of the mixing controls etc in Logic Pro. My only complaint is the base is non adjustable and a little flimsy, but at this price point you could purchase a better base or a wall mount and still be in a great spot budget wise.

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.

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.

Great monitor. Great picture. True to the color. HDMI cable is included. This version of the monitor was released in August of 2017. This turned out better than I expected for the price. I recommend it. I am using it for office and will mostly use it for text. I was concerned about a big screen with only 1080P resolution for the text-oriented work that I do. However, it is just fine. The screen-split was a seller for me since I plan to do a lot of cutting and pasting between different applications. However, I learned that you cannot use the split-screen function in the Mirror Mode (for displays). To me, it doesnt make sense. I do not plan on looking at my 14" laptop and have an extended 32" monitor. I want them to mirror and to only use the 32" monitor. The screen is large enough that you can position your applications side-by-side, so who needs split-screen? Overall, I am happy with this purchase.
