LG 27UK650-W 27 Inch 4K UHD IPS LED Monitor with HDR 10 and Adjustable Stand

The only reason I didnt give this 5-stars for gaming rating is the response time, wouldnt keep up if you were really into high-fps competitive gaming. Without spending a ton of money though this is a very good option. Everything looks nice and smooth at 60fps/4K. The stand has a lot of adjustment for height and viewing angle, and includes cable routing options to keep your desktop looking neat. My apartment gets a lot of glare in afternoon but the screen handles it very well, and if I turn up the brightness a couple notches I can still see all the detail in dark scenes. Very happy with this upgrade so far. Please note I have never even used the speakers to check them; anyone that buys a monitor or TV based on the built-in speakers is a bit soft in the head IMO

Super high quality stunning beautiful image!!! Outstanding adjustable stand (it fits above (landscape) the display and works with my Surface Pro perfectly). Good speakers (I use a headset and my USB speakers just went into storage). You need to purchase a white 3 foot USB to USB male/male cable for firmware updates and a white Display Port / Mini Display Port cable if you have a Surface Pro. (The LG comes with white cables.) I use 200% scale on the monitor instead of 150% so I can read the mouse type descriptions on my art software tools and sub tools pallets. Make sure the #2 display (LG) is above the #1 display (SP) when configuring for ease of use. Download the latest appropriate LG software (hence the need for a M/M USB cable), my PC/W10 LG Monitor Scree Control Software needed updating. Windows 10 has a problem with keeping the images on the LG when I turn off the SP. When I put the SP to Sleep or Hibernate both devices turn off, however, when I wake the SP up, both machines turn on, everything is saved properly, but I have to move the LG images from the SP back to the LG, where it will stay until I put the SP back to Sleep or Hibernate. It would be a convenience if W10 remembered to automatically put the images back on the LG at restart. If you dont have a second monitor or need to replace the one youve got, get this one. Youll enjoy life better, guaranteed.

I just replaced my 11 year-old Mac Pro and Samsung monitor with a 2018 MacBook Pro and this LG display, and this monitor is wonderful! Crystal clear and vivid colors. Im connecting it to the laptop through a CalDigit TS3+ docking station using the LG-supplied DisplayPort cable, and so far I havent had any issues. The key Ive found to having the display be recognized immediately is to power the display first, then turn on the laptop. Once macOS boots up and recognizes the monitor, I can close the laptop lid if desired.

I put off buying this for several months because of everyone making comments like "fake HDR" - it kind of got me down a bit. But after waiting 9 months and seeing absolutely nothing else on the market that was as good as of a fit for my xbox one x, I decided to buy this monitor. So happy I did. The two games I play the most - Overwatch and Path of Exiles - look incredible. And the size is perfect for me. You do need to spend some time finding the perfect settings though. Personally, I like the contrast turned up, the black levels turned low, input speed maxed out (lag is bad for gaming even if the picture looks slightly better), etc. There was another review with recommended settings for xbox that I generally followed as a starting point then tweaked for my taste. End of the day - Im glad I bought this monitor. Anthem is xbox one x enhanced and Im glad I have my setup in place for it.

Kind of crazy that value and 4k monitor are in the same subject line but for $300 its kind of nuts that you can get this kind of quality out of a panel. Im not sure how long it will last but it blew me away when I first turned it on and played a few video games on it. playing video games turn the sharpness all the way up. Ive had quite a few monitors most of them IPS and none of them quite pop with color the way this does. Theres a bit of glow and bleed but there is an every IPS panel so far its actually less than most I have had. Im really impressed with the picture quality it actually looks better than my 4K TV. I also had to reduce the brightness from 60 or 70% down to about 30. I dont know about the HDR part of it I did enable HDR and it does look a bit better but Im not sure if its true HDR but at this price it really didnt matter to me. I have a TN on 144 Hertz g-sync monitor thats 27 in and I have this right next to it and you can totally tell the difference in color. I wouldnt recommend this monitor for shooters but for pretty much any other scenery based game its perfect.I have been running in g-sync compatibility mode as well on the monitor and have not noticed any stuttering or glitches or artifacting in the six or seven games I tested with a GTX 1080 TI on display port. TL DR great monitor for the money I couldnt be happier with my purchase. Fyi the monitor ul500 to the highest level monitor on Amazon as of this review are the same panel, I am pretty sure just differences in features. At most the panels are probably binned for the higher priced products similar to how manufacturers like Intel and AMD sell CPUs.
