LG 27UL650-W 27 Inch 4K UHD LED Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 400, White

Comment

Absolutely love this monitor. Use it for my Xbox One X and Ps4 Pro. The HDR pops nicely and the monitor notifies you when it is being used. I bought this monitor after using a Benq rl2755 for the longest time and haven’t noticed any more input lag than before. I’m still hitting all my combos nicely on USF4, GGXRD and T7. On X1X Tomb Raider looks fantastic and is noticeably different on the different graphics options. I love that the screen goes completely vertical as well! Gunbird for Nintendo Switch is a blast vertical as well as Namco Museum. All in all definitely worth the money spent. Won’t be looking for another monitor anytime soon!

Using this as a primary display for my PS4 Pro. Pros: - Fast response time - HDR looks gorgeous - Screen size is perfect if sitting 3-4 ft away - LG had gamers in mind when creating this beauty. Cons: - Owned the unit for less than 24 hours and it developed a small group of dead pixels in the center of screen. Amazon handled the situation professionally. I had Amazon exchange the unit because I believe the picture quality this unit provides is worth it. Contacted LG initially with the issue and they weren’t willing to provide quick turn times and customer service was unpleasant. Thank you Amazon for being uber awesome as always.

This Monitor Exceeded my expectations (Reviewer that does extensive research on Displays and Displays technology). I was torn between this model and the 850-w model. The only difference is speakers (which this does not have), USB-C (not included), and a special calibration done to the 850-w. I am pleased with the build quality, screen resolution also exceeds my expectations. Their is IPS bleed when you have those black screen visiuals. The IPS bleed does not bother me what so ever. Most of my games I play on this bad boy are very bright which it does an amazing job at displaying bright colors and HDR content. ( Yes I do realize this is an 8 bit + FRC panel and the nit brightness does not exceed 350) this monitor is still extremely bright and when compared to a 10 bit panel that does exceed 400 nits brightness their is little to no difference to the naked eye (1000 nits would be much much brigher obviously). Also to add their are currently no monitors that can push past 4k at over 60HZ. Those 2000 dollar monitors by Asus and Acer will lower the resolution automaticly to meet the bandwith capability of the HDMI 2.0 specifications. So aside from G sync you are throwing some money away for a perk that can not be utilized. No firmware update can fix that in the future as this is a hardware issue and not a software issue. Soon as they release HDMI 2.1 on monitors the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ and Acer Predator X27 will be obsolete which will be soon since HDMI 2.1 specifications have already been released. Those two monitors mentioned are still amazing but not worth the money and very misleading.

This is an incredible monitor! I was looking for a monitor that i could use with my Xbox One, but also wanted a monitor that I could use for hi-end video editing. This monitor covers both my needs perfectly. The colors when compared my MacBook Pro are nearly identical. I researched monitors for weeks on end and finally found this one. If you are a video editor, then you cant go wrong with this monitor. If youre a console gamer then look no further, this is the monitor for you.

I got this for my ps4 pro and Im loving it so far. I wanted a monitor that looked as good as my samsung 4k hdr QLED TV. Dark scenes are not as dark but I feel the colors look just as amazing, response times are great, and everything is super sharp and crisp. I also like simulated hdr effect mode. One of the first games I tried was Monster Hunter Would, which is already known to have poor hdr support although is does have it. I turned off hdr in the game menu and simulated hdr on the monitor and, to me at least, it look as if that what it should have looked in the first place lol.

EDIT: After a month or so of use, I noticed the left half of the screen going dim, all the way from top to bottom. There was a brown patch at the very bottom of the screen. I touched it with my finger, and suddenly the entire half of the screen lit back up. In other words, the individual elements of the screen were coming apart. I practice good airflow and temperature management around my equipment, so its not like it got overheated or something. It simply... came apart. I stuck a thick piece of tape between the plastic casing at the bottom and the actual screen, simulating my finger keeping pressure on it, and lo and behold the screen was back to its bright ugly yellow glory. Like I said in my earlier review, this is a cheap IPS panel and youll never convince me otherwise. Its only good if youve never been exposed to really good professional stuff. I wound up using this monitor to read documents/Google stuff related to what Im doing, and for that its fine, but Id hate to see a game or artwork that someone made solely with this monitor. The colors would be so messed up, there are some displays even calibration cant fix. --- I know the common wisdom is that a monitor should cost around $300, but Ive always felt a monitor is an investment since your eyes are going to be looking at it all the time, so I usually spring for around $1500. For this monitor, I decided to try it even though it is a "cheap" model because its 2018 version, the "UK650" (instead of UL650) was voted #1 monitor of the year on many sites. (My other option was the Samsung QLED, which maxes out its brightness at 250 nits, which is insufficient for my work area. I got this mainly because of the IPS and the nits.) Unfortunately the UL650 has the same pitfalls as many cheap IPS panels: The grays are non-uniform and the white point is a little bit colourful (which it shouldnt be, it should be something that you can convince yourself is actually white). But the biggest nag is definitely that the grays and whites are DIFFERENT colours. If you look at it closely, at neutral default out-of-box settings (custom colour temperature, all colours at 50 points), white has a bit of a pinkish tint, but grays are yellow. They should all be the same colour temperature, but at this price range, monitors are known to do tricks to get as much performance as possible out of cheap subpixel materials. If you have low standards or just dont care, its not a big deal. But if you compare it side by side with a MacBook Pro (for example if youre using this product as a second monitor for your laptop) and go on a site like Amazon, you might notice the gray accents on the Amazon website look yellowish, and the orange "Add to Cart" buttons look rather more yellow than orange. I included a sample photo of the screen with an Adobe panel open and you can see that even though the background is supposed to be white and the boxes are supposed to be gray, there are definitely more yellows in the boxes than in the background. (Sorry for the rainbow trash in the picture, I just did a quick snap with autofocus on.) Again, its usually just a sign of a lower-priced IPS panel and you might not care. But if your house is filled with Macs and its a non-smoking house so your screens arent subtly yellowed over, youre gonna notice the difference. Yes, this screen distorts interfaces wildly, despite all the praise and acclaim.

I needed a high quality monitor for my laptop. After going to an electronics store and looking at 10 monitors side-x-side, this very clearly stood out as the highest quality colors and build quality in the group. Im a developer, so I cant speak to response and games etc but after years of being used the very highest quality MacBook Pro displays, most monitors disappoint. Usually the text isnt high enough quality and it creates frustration and eye-strain ... But this one doesnt. Its gorgeous, it makes my work look better :) Buy it, youll not be disappointed, its worth every penny and more.

I bought the Amazon Basics DP-mDP 10ft cable for my early 2015 13" MBPr and this monitor displays 3840x2160 flicker-free and razor sharp. I use this monitor for stock trading and the charts pop. Love the pivot vertical display setting, as it allows me to view CNBC or Bloomberg TV with HDMI-HDMI cable in 3840x2160 30hz on the top screen while viewing my charts in 4K 60hz with the DP-mDP (thunderbolt 2) cable on the bottom screen. When the trading day is done I can watch Netflix full screen flicker free 4K 60 hz or use it for photo editing with an image as sharp as my MBPr display . Brightness, split screens and on-screen adjustments, in every way superior to the Samsung U28E590D monitor that I bought last week and have already returned.

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
