4k Gaming Panel with HDR and IT ISN'T UGLY! LG 27UK850-W

[@blubear1225]

- 1440p - 21:9 - 30" - IPS - 1ms - HDR - 144hz - freesync Why can't this exist

[@WBoettchStevens]

Because no IPS panels are currently capable of achieving 1ms response times. 4ms is the best you're likely to do this year.

[@ChildoftheKoRnf9]

As I just started the video, I thought you were listing its features and thought I finally found my next monitor...le sigh.

Seems like an perfect panel for consoles, especially with the Xbox One X adding Freesync.

[@JamieS1992]

did you ever get this monitor does it support HDR10 on the Xbox one X?

[@sonoeros]

@@JamieS1992I've done some research myself cause I'm looking to buy this monitor for my X1X and from what I've gathered it's not HDR10 even tho it says so, but it's some type of "new" HDR technology that LG "developed" but from people's reviews it's not bad but it's not quite HDR10. Also color quality is very good but keep in mind i see a lot of people complaining about black light bleeding and also about the screen forming white patterns on the edges after a year or so and needing replacement so honestly idk either lol

[@sonoeros]

@@JamieS1992 I've seen some other videos and it checks all the green ticks on the Xbox One X

[@JamieS1992]

@@sonoeros yeah I ended up going UR55 since found out brightness needs to be 1000 for HDR10 400 for HDR400 most only do 350 but have the connection sometimes it makes the picture better sometimes worse

[@sonoeros]

@@JamieS1992 how much did you end uo paying for it if you don't mind me asking? How do you like it? Have you encountered any issues with it up until now? Sorry for bothering you with many questions but I'm still trying to figure out what to buy lol

[@baderalshammari2961]

Well, for me HDR had far more effect on me than 4K, so I would rather have HDR over 4K, HDR with 1440p would be something ideal for me.

[@TechWithSean]

Bader AlShammari - HDR for pc gaming is still a hassle

[@NikhilDas]

I have been using an LG 1080p IPS panel with 5ms gtg response time for over a year now and it's been a fantastic experience!!! LG makes some nice monitors!!!

[@Liiineeepiiieeeceee]

Aaaaaand here comes the fake-HDR bullshit... At least they didn't bother making up their own horseshit standard like HDR600 to try and justify it further

[@TommyPeel]

Yeah.... It's "HDR10" but it doesn't even do 1000 nits.

[@Liiineeepiiieeeceee]

Therefore it's not HDR10 but they still want that sticker on the box

[@TommyPeel]

Khristian Ingraham Whoever designed the HDR10 spec should really have made different levels of the spec that are clearly defined. Perhaps based on the number of stops of dynamic range the screen can display. I know that OLED panels get away with lower peak brightness because they can go farther on the low end.

[@undefinablereasoning]

I think in order to do so would almost certainly require OLED or some other display technology other than VA/IPS/QLED/LED/TN.

[@TylerHartleb]

Nope, the lg oleds can only get up to about 700 nits. The only tvs that can really get that bright are the samsung qleds.

[@Im_Interested]

Watched this video on the exact monitor. You hit the nail on the head with all your points. I love this monitor. Anyone on the fence, just do it.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Honestly, I think my Samsung U28590DS from model year 2015, and which I got in late-ish 2016, is very responsive, has great colours, and has a high enough refresh rate to be enjoyable. I know exactly what you mean by jello effect, but I get none of that. I've had this monitor for about 1 1/2 years. I love it. Also, upscaling to 4K from 1080p *back in the day*?! You what? That's not back in the day. That's a year or two ago at the most. Like dude. Are you talking about 2014? Because to me, it's still 2014. Dude.

[@CCISolitude]

I've been using an LG 34" (34UM95) for about 3 years now, it's been a wonderful part of my setup (indeed 3 setups now), no RGB or what have you. It's 60hz and doesn't have G-Sync/Freesync, but as I've discovered, because I've never had either, I don't get phased by tearing when it occurs. Still to find something worth upgrading to really.

[@jacksonrobbins2288]

Love the technical details you have in this review! So many reviews spend 10 minutes doing an unboxing, go over how it swivels, run through the menu and then breeze over how the panel actually looks and just say something like "It really looks amazing"

[@ioangajac5297]

i hate how they ripping us off in all aspects of Desktop... Monitors, Video Cards, Processors etc... Seriously, for every little ''improvement'' they charge us 200 more$... This fake HDR you can achieve even by adjusting the colors... For 700 the standards should be: True 10bit color, IPS, Real HDR (1000+nits), along with G-sync, FreeSync and 120 hz.. They can do it, but they don't want to... because they just wanna rip us off every year!!!

[@ryanbauer1482]

Love your videos Jay, keep it up!

[@robertbacklund4438]

Hey Jay, I am currently using a 4K UHDTV as my monitor for daily computing as well as gaming. I just looked up the LG monitor discussed in this video and on Amazon it is priced at $699.99 for a 27" monitor. My 4K TV is a TCL 55P607 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model) and costs $649. As well as it being 4k it also is HDR and supports HDR 10 but it also supports Dolby Vision. It has 3 HDMI ports as well as a USB 2 port, each HDMI port can be individually configured and it too has a game mode that can be chosen and with this set it only has 15 mili seconds of input lag. I use it for gaming from my sofa and it preforms great, it does not have free sync but I have not noticed any problems with screen tearing etc regardless of what game I have played. I have also been very impressed with the 4K panel that TCL uses for this TV, the colors are great and the blacks are jet black and I cannot see how an OLED panel could do better and I do not have to worry about burn in. This TCL 55P607 has worked so well that I am considering purchasing two more for a multi monitor set up for my PC that is if I am able to purchase another 1080 as I am not sure if one can drive more than one TV at 4K resolutions. Jay at the price of this TCL TV I would encourage you to get one and check it out, I am certain that you would be very impressed. I do not think I could get a better preforming 4k TV even if I spent 3 times the amount. At only $650 there are no other 4K TVs that would be better at any price point.

[@nishant1857]

IPS 1440p Ultrawide 5ms or less 100 Hz A clean/classy/professional design I haven't experienced HDR so I don't know what I'm missing. :p

[@nevmiku]

6:44 That is not light bleed. That is actually what an IPS panel looks like when it's displaying a black screen. Notice that the 'bleed' moves with the camera when the camera angle changes. Look up 'IPS glow' for more info.

[@AviaryMolina]

How do you get rid of ips glow? I have this monitor

[@albertmas3752]

I'll care about all those features when I see them. Unfortunately I've been forced to connect my PC to a TV for the last 10 years. Maybe I can see it soon.

[@Tomiply]

The reason why it's not at its fastest response setting is because it can cause ghosting/overshoot, which can sometimes be worse. Also, IPS glow is a thing that happens on IPS panels in very dark scenes. That's what you were talking about when you mentioned booting up.

[@nikhilkottapalli8071]

450 nits max brightness is not a true HDR panel. This is false HDR advertising.

[@Jayztwocents]

Yeah, it kinda falls under the HDR'nt panels where the only true HDR benefit is at the low light areas. Little disappointed as well.

[@MASKOAA]

To be fair you sit closer to a monitor I doubt anyone is going to comfortably have a panel push out 1000nits into their eyeball like with a TV since you sit farther

[@DarkReturns1]

MASKOAA lol never thought of that, good point!

[@DarkReturns1]

My TCL 55p605 is 750nits I think...it looks insanely awesome in HDR

[@larsisaksen]

MASKOAA the human eye can see 10.000 nits without a problem.

[@bobbobberson4285]

A user review on Amazon says this monitor has PWM lighting. So if you're sensitive to that stuff you'll need to keep the brightness at 100 percent to negate the flicker/eye-strain.

Long Doan Nah, check forums, their AW3418DW all have ips glow on the left side. A lot of people don't report it because they're fine with it. My x34p which uses the same panel, and that I also returned for a dead pixel like 3 other XB271HU before, had the same yellowish glow on the left. Unlucky or not, we should not have to play the lotery like that, their QC is not good enough, the probability of having a defective unit is too damn high.

[@AngryChineseWoman]

roopiin 91 And I'm happy with my fourth XB271HU, after three units returned because of dead pixels or excessive glow / backlight bleed.

[@Qorelin]

I've been looking into those monitors and there's only 3 options available. Dell Alienware AW3418DW Acer Predator X34 Asus ROG Swift PG348Q That's it. I don't think anything else exists in that class. I was thinking about getting either the Dell or Asus, because I made a vow a decade ago to never buy anything from Acer. Almost forgot there's VA options as well. AOC Agon AG352UCG (MVA) Acer Predator Z35P HP OMEN X 35

Having never experienced an HDR panel, I can't say if I would prefer it over a non-HDR panel. With regard to Jay's input lag on 4k screens, I've returned a plethora of panels over the years because of that very reason. I've tried two (2) 4k panels, Monoprice 28" and an ACER 28", both of which I returned within a week of receiving them. I'm happy with my HP Omen 32" @ 75Hz and 2560x1440, no input lag, I can game and watch movies/videos with quality akin to my 50" Vizio television.

So, my current 1080p IPS by Dell has an HDR feature... The issue with that is, when enabled, you can see too much of the flaws present in a 1080p display. When running FC5 and enabling HDR, everything looked overly bright and, when calibrated, just looked super pixelated due to HDR doing it's job too well LOL... I would not recommend HDR at anything under a 4k resolution. Even tough I was able to resolve this some by increasing the virtual res, the performance hit wasn't worth it and it honestly looks better at 1.1 res w/ freesync @ 75hz (again, it's IPS) than it does @ 2x res w/ HDR enabled. With that said, 2x 1080p is still 1/2 of 4k and you'll love the "unveiling" HDR does at UHD as I certainly have on a UHD TV (albeit sans gaming).

[@jetpil0t]

Yeah no colour calibration testing, panel uniformity test, calibration, input lag testing or really any type of measurable testing with any type of professional tool. I am suprised this is not a sponsored video, though I highly suspect it is in a legally non discloure not necessary type of way. I mean, you compred the image quality to an iPhone, seems lacking to say the least.

[@gypsygib]

Yeah, can't really rely on Jay for monitor reviews apparently. Why even bother? Guy's supposed to be a top PC tech vlogger but apparently cares or knows nothing about monitors. "Oh it looks nice!"

[@gmak8052]

This is correct. I did not realize it but I work at a retailer that sells 4k movies and in fact they are not all HDR

[@cliffmello]

Do you guys even understand what HDR is? .... It all breaks down to how the movie was filmed. HDR is High Dynamic Range - which if your filming a blu-Ray 4k -6k or even 8k your gonna film in a LOG or flat format which expands the cameras Dynamic Range - giving you more information in the shadows and highlights. Standard dynamic ranges are close to 6-8stops of information and HDR -a.k.a LOG/Flat picture format can go up to 16stops of information. Now after the LOG film is color graded the IRE values (shadows/highlights) are graded for standard Rec.709 which is what the industry has been forever. Which isn’t true HDR, but now we have 4k monitors with Rec.2020 which is helping us see more of the cameras ranges. Makes since? Oh well!

[@gmak8052]

BluHourCollective not sure why we needed to go into the definition and mechanics of hdr production. The point is not all 4k blu ray movies are HDR therefore do not playback on HDR tvs with the benifits of HDR consumer specification. And there is a huge difference.

[@gmak8052]

BluHourCollective And yes I am very aware of how hdr works companies like Sony, Samsung and LG have thoroughly trained me in the matter. The fact that you getting into a partial run down tells me odds are you are the one lacking information on HDR playback. You should look further into the matter you will be en light end.

[@Hyncharas]

The 27UK850 isn't available yet in the UK (the highest are currently the 27UD88 and 27UK650), though I'm assuming the monitor will be £600-£650. An interesting product for not something not so expensive. They are even a small step down from the 34" & 38" UC99 models, which could make them reasonable for a desk that doesn't support an ultrawide IPS.

60hz is currently the limit on 4k monitors. most high end 4k tvs only push 30hz at that pixel count.

[@DrEtzor]

+Mark Walls You do realize you'd need two Titans or 1080Tis to run even stable 60fps on 4K currently on anything above medium settings? it's not that they couldn't make a 4K panel with 100+ hz it's more the fact there's no way to use it, you can't even get four Vegas to run it in crossfire because AMD limited CF to 3-way, theoretically four Vegas could do it above 100hz but, welp, Vega is basically a Fury with more expensive design but without any proper extras. Note : Titans are completely sold out, 1080Tis are rare af and Quadro P6000 / GP100 is technically your only way to get highest end cards but those cost like $5 000-10 000 a pop.

GTFO with freesync

[@ryushev2000]

Nvidia should GTFO with their shitty overpriced G-Sync

[@icesick06]

I had this when it first came out. I'm glad to see your panel had the weird hlow effect on the screen. I was pretty sure it was light bleed so I sent mine back. Now I just have the ud69p. Same panel, just doesn't have the hdr option and higher brightness

[@lexus82su]

"HDR-ish" (like the Samsung 32:9 super ultra-wide monitor) The 1000 nits of brightness is *required for it to truly qualify as an HDR display. It also requires local dimming. I missed it if you said this has fully localized dimming.

[@Uryendel]

Those screen use the new tech of lg nano-ips which is the equivalent of the qled of samsung, so yes they are some sort of local dimming, just hoping it's not as crappy as the samsung one

[@gharrison4301]

Ultra wide, 1440x3440, HDR with G-sync is what I want. IPS would be great too. Lg showed one off at CES and I am patiently waiting for release.

[@ShardzDW]

*3440x1440

[@tarell676]

It all depends on the use case. I have a 3 "screen" setup. LG 65" UHD HDR OLED (16:9) for movies and streaming. Acer 27" 1440p (16:9) 165 HZ IPS for gaming. Huion 21" 1080p (16:9) IPS Pen Display for working on art. So it literally depends on the use case what I'm looking for. Would like 21:9 or more at high HZ and low latency when it's at a high enough quality for what I want. And when GPU's can run it, let's not forget that. ATM running on a EVGA 1080ti, and it's AWESOME 95,6% of the time. The last 4,4% is when I'm just asking too much.

[@KiraDenys]

Important features in order. 144hz+ Sub 5ms response time Ultrawide / 21:9 34” or larger 2560x1080 or higher resolution

[@amgguy2145]

Just got this monitor this morning and I’m loving so far ! Connected to my 2015 💻 McBook pro

[@ruckus1421]

Is it good for E-Reading? I read books in pdf on my PC And also need a monitor for coding Do u recommend this?

[@Andypandy26]

Good on you for addressing the input lag - a very common thing that some people, somehow do not notice :D

[@nukedathlonman]

That effect would be backlight bleed & quite normal on IPS displays. Some IPS displays are better then other in regards to that phenomenon, but I don't think it's as bothersome as Black Crush can be with a VA panel.

[@jonhaze7537]

Been using my 24" Asus 1080p 120hz for what has to be close to 4 or 5 years now?! It's been flawless; not a dead pixel on it! I am ready for an upgrade now though.. thinking 27" 144hz

[@jonathandunstan1819]

Great Video Jay, I do agree about the Ultra Wide version and the simplistic design, though the LG 27UK850-W does look like a promising start that can build up to that for LG, being that I am an owner of a LG 29UM68-P (Love Ultra Wide). Props on the effects in the video too , love the popup design elements!

[@TsvetanVR]

Haven't tried playing on an HDR panel yet, but it pisses me off that there's an in-game setting I can't turn on, so I'll be upgrading soon I guess, especially after your feedback on the subject.

[@inmypaants]

I own a X34 Predator and couldn't be happier with it as a PC gaming monitor ... I do wish there were more 21:9 content, especially through YT and Netflix though. I do often wonder whether I should get a 4k 16:9 monitor with a low response rate for my Xbox One X, perhaps this monitor would fit the bill. I'm personally not that bothered by HDR, it's nice to have but I value high refresh rates over that.

[@yolsclassics6347]

It's absolutely beautiful. The color, the lighting. I am mindblown! =)

[@gaming-zombie1392]

I have a Hisense 43 TV with 4K HDR & it's a Great TV... HDR is very nice to have now...

[@ptose]

I don't have an opinion about hdr simply because I haven't seen it yet in person (altough when I see those tvs saying that the panel could reach 10000 nits I wonder what's the point of that, maybe tanning in front of a display). This monitor looks good, but why only 27 inches. And I'm certainly more into ultrawide too, it looks better than 16 9, and even today it's possible to have a good refresh rate over 60fps with a good gpu. I want a 40+ inches ultrawide monitor with good refresh rate, that's what I'd like to see.

[@ptose]

basically like the massdrop vast, but bigger

[@trubadyr99]

60hz is an absolute minimum acceptable by many for the 4K as of today but is it a "true HDR"? And 5ms? But I think this panel is a baby step in a right direction.

[@87morpheus11]

I went to the store a few weeks ago and I tried finding a HDR monitor so I can see if it's worth it. The one they had wasn't working at the time so I didn't get to experience it. I have seen tvs with HDR and they're really nice. When they become more affordable I think I'll buy one.

[@Roger101Watson]

What I want is Widescreeen curved 3440x1440 100hz+ True HDR 34" IPS G-Sync. Monitors are probably the slowest upgrade of any build so it needs to be right. I think LG have one coming later this year. I don't see the point in 4k gaming on a tiny 27" monitor you'll barley notice the difference in resolution compared with 1440.

[@ModBay]

This is just what I'm looking for! I'm a web developer and gamer and have never been satisfied with the whole gamer monitors. Being a IPS panel, would be interested in seeing how the color profile out of the box, would compare to my aging dell U3011.

[@hXcHector]

I've been using a GTX 1080 for over a year now. I can run a handful of AAA games at 4K 60fps, so I use my 60 inch 4K TV. I also wanted to get a monitor to experience the high refresh rate and response time, so I got one that fit my needs that was on the cheap side. It was a 1080p 144hz monitor. I love the higher refresh rate, but at the same time I love 4K more than 1080p. You'll probably say you can't do too many games at 4K 144hz or higher, but I don't like switching back and forth between monitor and TV if I decide to go with a higher refresh rate. ALSO, it'd be sort of "future proof" as they say. I've never experienced HDR, though.

[@Misa-hl5xw]

I 100% agree with the HDR. A lot of average consumers don't really see the jump from 1080 to 4k as being a huge jump like 720 to 1080 was. HDR is about the same impact to me as 720 to 1080 was. When buying, just make sure HDR also has Wide gamut. People are quick to pick up on nit but often miss the WCG. My tv monitor is 4k HDR with 444 chroma @ 60hz and I can't go back to a display without. The next big thing that will make me drop some serious money on a display will be HDMI 2.1 with it's built in adaptive sync. Especially at higher resolutions, the improved smoothness at 45-60fps really is a big gain and something i've missed. Thanks for the vid.

[@ModrunOfficial]

g sync is a must for a monitor for me also i like ultrawides right now but that isnt required. Must be over 100hz altho 144hz or 200hz is much more likely for me to buy resolution should be 3440x1440 / 2560x1440 - anything higher is too hard to run and too small, anything lower for some reason just doesnt look and feel right (?) must have vesa mount so i can put my own ergotech freedom arm on it. 27" to match my other monitors

[@littlec8631]

lol i have no complaints, i have been gaming on a 55" Samsung MU8000 4k HDR TV since August of last year. Its beautiful with my PC hooked up to it. Only downside is not being able to display anything past 60hz lol. I could've bought a monitor several times over but haven't found one yet that is big enough lol. so i'll stick with mine for now till they start making monitors much bigger.... hard to downsize when your used to screens this size lol.

[@hotrodanimal2733]

I wholeheartedly agree i would love to see these specs in a larger ultra wide, or for that matter in a larger 16*9 panel

[@deathgod360s1]

For a true HDR 10+ experience, said pannel needs to be at least 1000 nits to display. Basic HDR will give a slight contrast increase over SDR.

[@jonathanharris2326]

Would this monitor work for browsing the web?

[@LjTrader]

There are panels with higher refresh rate & right now many new videos deliver a high quality content platform without HDR which is good, a a HDR stream experience is my preference.

[@harshp2140]

I agree with you jellow effect. I am using 1ms 144hz 1080p. And I can’t go back because i can see if anything slow down. I can’t help it.

[@BluD]

amazon is selling this currently for $90 a month for 5 months. super tempted since i just bought the xbox one x for $250

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

You think it's still worth buying with next gen around the corner?

[@BluD]

@@mcfriedchicken1972 the monitor? Yeah. The console depends on what you're using it for. I don't intend to get the next Xbox.

[@Trustedcoins]

1440p is better for productivity I think as it is perfect withouts windows scaling, and which I think would be an issue with this one. I love my HP Omen 32 inch display. It's a VA with a wide viewing angle, freesync and the stand does not take up the whole freaking table like the other ones do, iI tried an LG 144 Hz gaming monitor and the tripod stands are week and not sturdy like this one. Did I mention it can also be vesa mounted so you can have a three monitor setup? Games are cool and all, but this 1440p is the best most convenient one I have ever found. It's also bigger than the one you mentioned because it's a 32 inch not a puny 27 inch like this one. Size does matter, especially when watching a show.

[@juliettaylorswift]

I will be concerned with displays after being able to upgrade my PC. I would pick 2 ultrawides that are 4k+ with high refresh rate first. I have so many things going at thee same time that screen space is much more important to me...but would not be against having a 3rd screen that is hdr off to the side for color correcting or watching movies or whatever.

[@TheEgyptianOne]

I need help. The HDR has the problem of slightly changing brightness while watching a movie on PC or playing a PS4 pro game in HDR, even when Smart Energy Saving is set to off(which is actually grayed out when in HDR mode) So I set it to off when in SDR mode, then I hop into HDR mode again and the option looks to be still off but it is grayed out(As if the HDR is not even considering that option when it is in use). So What exactly is this?

[@MADagain]

How confusing is it though when games have "actual HDR" features over the "filtered HDR" used in many older games before HDR had a standard on the display... hopefully you get what I mean. Still interesting to look at fake HDR settings over real ones.

[@Fmily]

For a 60hz 4k monitor I think that HDR is a great feature. I wouldn't want to game on it cause I like dat high frame rate lyf. But as an extra monitor for watching movies and youtube and stuff I think this is a tempting monitor.

[@lozodidit]

my setup has two LG 27UD68p's and the only differences is theyre not hdr and doesnt have usb-c. When i considered how much content is actually hdr, i decided i didnt need it. my monitors go as low as $380 on amazon if you watch prices. This monitor is almost double.
