LG 27UD68-W 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync

التعليق

Ok so first off, I bought this to use as a display for my PS4 Pro at college so that’s my primary use for it. Cons- Lightbleeding (common for IPS tho) Minimal audio outputs Pros+ Thin Bezel Great Viewing Angles Vibrant/Accurate Colors CRISP 4K Quality Smooth 60fps and Response Time Ease of Setup *READ* Ok so something you should know when gaming with a PS4 Pro with this monitor, the monitor obviously doesn’t support HDR, however, it DOES allow the PS4 to use the Deep Color Output feature in the PS4 screen options! This is very rare for a monitor or TV to support and it does add detail to the colors and takes advantage of the advanced 99%+RGB color range (of course non-HDR) of the monitor. Also, yes, this monitor allows Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, Apple TV, etc to stream at native 4K on capable streaming devices. Hope this review helps!

Seems like a beautiful crisp picture. FOR XBOX ONE S users: In order to get the xbox to play Blu-Ray in 4k. You need to go into the Monitor settings under: INPUT, Make Aspect Ratio ORIGINAL Under FreeSync make it Extended or basic... Also set the mode to game mode:dark CONFIRM it is in 4k by: 1. play a video 2. press the Xbox button twice 3. Goto settings / Video & Audio 4. Go into the Video settings 5. If it says 4k, you are in 4k... If it says 1080p something is wrong. FOR COMPUTER USERS: Use game mode: for reduced latency If you are using an nvidia card, make sure the freesync option is set to: off

The screen is absolutely beautiful and has immense value for money. The only issue with the 68-W version is that the "base" of the monitor is very flimsy. The product description on the listing page is inaccurate as it does not mention that and the images also do not reveal the same. There is no height adjustment available in this version. I returned my monitor because of the flimsy stand. It used to make the screen wobble if I were using my keyboard while typing. There is another version of this monitor , the 68-P version. That one has the correct stand. Please consider that if you want a proper experience.

Install Flash Player So is the LG 27UD68-W the Best 4K UHD Monitor for 2016 under 500 ? What i can say about this UHD display is that its beautifully designed, edge to edge panel with a silver frame all around and a white back and a aggressive curved stand. I really liked the awesome look of the LG 27UD68-W, that shows class. It is a IPS panel with a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 a response time of 5ms with a refresh rate of 60hrz In terms of connections it has 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x Display Port 1.4, 1x Audio Jack, 1x Power Input Jack and a Kensington lock. My review and tests had the following steps: - Unboxing - Setup - Viewing Angles (dark enviroment / light enviroment) - Colors / Contrast - UHD Pictures Slidehow (dark enviroment / light enviroment) - Movie Samples UHD (dark enviroment / light enviroment) - Light Bleeding Test - Shadows Test - After Effects / Video Editing (timeline, resolution) - Gaming (Freesync / Screen Tearing) All in all was a great experience and this year i will be upgrading my Triple Monitor Setup and these LG27UD68-W are sure on my list. Things i did like the Most: - Beautiful Design and Overall Looks - Nice Colors and Contrast - Joystick for the OSD Functions - Vesa Mount that Allow us to Use any Stand - Finally the Price Point that makes this Monitor a Deal to Have in Consideration Things i Did Like the Least: - Lack of Adjustments on the Stand - Extreme Angles with Glare (Refection)

The monitor itself is fantastic. The cheap-o plastic base that comes with it is pretty much garbage, though. Plan on buying a proper monitor stand to go with this! I use this with my new 13" MacBook Pro and the colors are amazing. I was on the lookout for a 4k monitor, after having gotten used to sitting at a big old Apple Cinema Display. They dont make those anymore, so I began the hunt. This is by far the best rated 4k monitor for the price, hands down. The colors are fantastic, I have zero bleeding or display issues at all. The menus are easy to access and manipulate, which is always a plus. The tiny bezels are what really pushed this monitor over the competition for me. I sit with with my desk facing a window so I can enjoy the sunshine and I really like that the the bezels are really small, minimizing the amount of blocked view to my window. The stand the monitor comes with is probably the only negative thing about it. I have it sitting on a standing desk, which means theres a little bit more movement to the desk then normal, and its enough to cause the whole monitor to constantly wobble while Im typing. There are decent, well-made monitor stands available for pretty cheap, though, so I wouldnt let that stop you from buying this!

Best monitor Ive ever owned, and I own 3 of them for my setup. Pros: IPS with 10 bit color, great for photo editing. 4K, but still large enough to not need text scaling (If you have fairly good vision, Id say about 30/20 or better). Its like having 4 1080p monitors setup together. Very attractive stand and back, if you care about that. Cons: While the stand looks nice, its a little wobbly if youre a fast and furious typist like I am. Also no height adjustment. The inline power brick is a bit annoying. I wish it were inside the monitor itself. Too many monitors today do this.

Bought this back in March to use with my docked Surface Pro 3. Since then Ive had the annoying problem that the cursor randomly jumps to the lower right-hand corner of the screen and clicks on whatever is there. Right now, its the date/time in the task bar but when something is full screen it can be something entirely different. Ive tried different cables, DisplayPort vs HDMI, no dock, disconnecting keyboards and mice - nothing works. When the SP3 is not connected to the LG, there is no problem on the SP3 screen. I dont know if the problem is with LG or the SP3 but Im beyond trying to fix it. LG had me try to connect a different (non-touchscreen) laptop and the problem doesnt occur so they washed their hands of the problem. Im really disappointed in the technical support. It seems to be an incompatibility between the LG and the touchscreen technology of the SP3. The Sony VGA monitor I had before the LG worked perfectly - I just wanted a bigger screen with higher resolution. On the basis of the lack of support and the uncertainty of this problem, I cant recommend this monitor.

I use the monitor as the primary display for my Macbook Pro (2017) and it looks fantastic at 4K resolution. One item to note if you want to drive the monitor at 4K@60Hz -- youll need either a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter, or a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. I went with the latter and its a night and day difference from using the monitor at 4K@30Hz. Even with my Anker USB-C hub that supports HDMI 2.0, I was unable to get 60Hz (only 30Hz at 4K resolution). I read there is a limitation with hubs that have USB 3.0 ports (not entirely sure if this is accurate). If using a Macbook Pro, go with a dedicated cable (as mentioned above), or get an HDMI 2.0 adapter that you run off one of the USB-C ports -- save the other port for a hub to power all your accessories.

This is a nice monitor. I got it for a little under $400, open box, and the only issue Im able to find with it is two small magenta "smears" when the monitor is displaying pure black. When theres an image on the screen, or the monitor is off, Im unable to tell that theres any kind of blemish. If I had to guess, this is not a defect so much as probably something caused by somebody mishandling the monitor, not wanting to be responsible for the damage they caused, and then returning it. Im using it via a DisplayPort connection and it works just fine. Im not interested in the dual input options or the ability to control the menu with the mouse, I pretty much just leave the color settings at sRGB with 50% brightness and go with it. Ive not done any real hard color-comparing yet, but it appears to be faithful to reality. The included stand looks pretty cheesy; I have not used it, it was immedately screwed onto an Ergotron NeoFlex that I had lying around and it works very well that way. The picture made it looks like the VESA mount screws were very near the top of the monitor and that I wouldnt be able to get enough height, but it mounts up perfectly and has a very usable height range. The picture, from what I can tell without looking at it REALLY critically for a very long time, appears to be consistent from side to side, top to bottom, and at any reasonable angle. Im impressed. Even at a bargain price its still more than Ive ever spent on a monitor, but it seems to be worth it. I like that the image goes nearly all the way to the edge on three sides and that theres no protruding border, its all just nice and flush with the panel. Why not 5 stars? The back of the thing is cheesy; I dont like how the plugs just stick straight out, like they made this thing as bare-bones as possible. The power adapter is kinda cheesy too, but not too bad. Some MINOR nitpicks would be the standby light - it would be nice to have the option to have it "breathe" instead of just blink on and off, or just not be on at all. It can be turned off when the monitor is on, but it will blink on/off when in standby. Finally, whoever repackaged the monitor arranged it so that the panel was face up, right at the top of the box and not covered by anything to protect it. If I werent a very experienced, sophisticated consumer, Id have gone through with the knife when opening the box and destroyed the panel. Be careful!

Wow, this thing is wonderful. I purchased this after I had returned a Samsung curved monitor that arrived with splatters of dead pixels and I discovered that I did not enjoy the curved experience. I was worried this one might show up similarly damaged but NO, it was perfect! Zero dead pixels. It does include both an HDMI and a Displayport cable, which was awesome since other monitors usually come with one or the other. The cable management clip included is very welcomed. Putting the thing together was a breeze. I played a few rounds of Overwatch, did some roaming around in Subnautica and some bot matches of CSGO as a test and all performed admirably. I have a Vega 64 and it was able to deliver a butter smooth experience on High settings with free sync on and no overclocking. PC MASTER RACE gaming elitists will say youre better off with a high refresh rate 2k monitor at this size but I performed just fine with solid FPS across the games I tried and it looked superb doing so. My skills did not suffer at 60hz and your experience probably wont either. Youre probably not chasing Top 500 spots in competitive shooters for a Mountain Dew sponsorship and professional gaming career. If you have a more modest graphics card, you may have a different experience so look out for that. The LG On-screen monitor control software is great! No more awkwardly fiddling around with a joystick to change monitor settings. Works for both Windows and Mac; you can find it on the included CD or download off the LG website with minimal searching if you dont have a CD drive. You can set it to automatically load a preferred profile based on your use; movie mode when opening a media player or photo mode when you open a graphic design program in both OSs so thats nice. I use this with macOS as well and it looks superb, definitely a rival for the LG 5k Apple display. Color is great and fine for intermediate design work and content creation but isnt 100% Adobe RGB so if thats youre cup of tea, might need to look elsewhere. I was perfectly happy after a couple of easy tweaks for my use. My only complaint is very small -- the included stand doesnt have a lot of tilt/height adjustments...but thats what VESA hardware is for. I was perfectly fine with it and would buy a VESA mount in the future if my needs change. TLDR: 10/10 product for mixed use gaming and content creation, would buy a second one.
