Best 4K Monitor 2018 - LG 27UK850-W

[@HANZOREIZA]

People get so confused with G2G and input lag. 1ms g2g has nothing to do with input lag. G2g is about the image changing on screen and 5ms is actually real quick, hardly noticeable by the human eye. Input lag is totally different, this LG series has a pretty decent input lag from mouse/keyboard or controller to on screen movement for an IPS. Also, 1000 nits will blast your eyes from sitting close so 400-650 nits up close is actually great

[@hongz1]

just bought this monitor via Amazon and got a same gap in the center bottom trim. (3:12) Is this just unfortunate or there shouldn't have gap ?? If this is not a normal then I will replace my item. Other then that, I fully satisfied with this monitor playing with PS4 Pro!! Thanks for reviewing!

[@Bo_Yang]

Seems like poor quality control issues.

How would you compare this (in terms of quality) to the Ben Q 2770u? What is the difference between this and the lguk6500?

[@Bo_Yang]

Do you use 4K, 1440, 1080 or CRT? Love to hear from you!

For making 4k movies i use 84x48 pixel monochrome LCD display from nokia 3310

I use my smartwatch to play minecraft and fortnite

[@itsmb8]

I only play console games and only at 1080 rn, but will up to 4k in the next month or so. Most likely getting this thanks to the review, I actually thought this looked better than the other LG in the comparison.

[@wilgiefortis]

is this still a good buy for 2020? I have macbook pro 2018 15", I will use it for Da Vinci resolve, vidro games and watching movies

[@Bo_Yang]

If you have a 2018 or later MacBook Pro, I would recommend a thunderbolt 3 monitor from LG. This is still a good buy if you find it on sale

[@Spasoutkingcod]

What about the 600 ?

[@jaredferguson2999]

it has the same 3840x2160 350nit (450 nit when in hdr) HDR panel. The only visual difference is you don't get some of the post processing features in the settings but those add to input delay and you wouldn't want to use them anyway. Oh, and the calibration settings are more in depth, little more accurate out of the box, though you can always fiddle around with them and still end up with a very color accurate display given the 8bit+frc 10 bit color. The 650 and 850 have a better stand, (it has height adjustment along with the tilt feature that the 600 has) and the 850 has built in speakers but they're really fucking awful. I reccomend the 650 just for the height adjustment feature, but if you're looking for the best value the 600 has the same picture quality as the 850 and that's really what you're looking for in a 4k hdr panel. I'd generally want to pay $350 for the same quality of the $700 panel and skip some of the external features myself. The newer version, ("ud" as opposed to "uk") is technically HDR 400 certified but as far as I know it has exactly the same specs except for slightly more of the p3 color range and so this just serves to prove that the 600 can display "true" hdr because even though it doesn't hit 1000 nits the 450 nit peak brightness is more than enough to prevent detail clipping. Seriously, go buy it.

[@bam8606]

I use a PS4 regular and a BenQ RL2755. I’m looking to upgrade and get a PS4 pro and a 4K Monitor. This seems like the one to get so far. I do like in built speakers and want a minimal 27” screen and it’s perfect size if your up close.

[@Bo_Yang]

If you want to use this mostly with ps4 pro I would get the 650 version since you won’t need USBC

I'm considering this monitor mainly for photo editing. I'm coming from a nice 24 inch IPS display (HP LP2475W) that starts to show its age. I have an Eye One Display 2 colorimeter. How well does this monitor calibrate? Is this a normal or wide gamut monitor? How is PC gaming at 1080p on it? Thanks in advance!

[@Bo_Yang]

I wouldn’t consider srgb 99% wide gamut. It’s not exactly dci p3 gamut but for photo editing it’s still really good. No issue with 1080p gaming but it’s not a gaming monitor, more like a jack of all trades

Thanks for the great review. I'm torn on getting either this or the 27ud88-w as a 3rd monitor. I currently have the LG 27UD59-B paired up with my 5k iMac. LG colours are nice but I want something with HDR features. Also LOL on the new year, new monitor mentality. Thats what I'm thinking. It's almost a new year lol

[@Bo_Yang]

If you can get the UD88 for much cheaper get it. There really isn’t that big a difference between the 2. I wouldn’t exactly call this true HDR since the nits on this monitor isn’t bright enough, but its still one of the best 4K you can get right now. If you don’t need USB input, you can opt for lower model but same design and same quality panel.

[@ltmstudioscinemaandphoto4202]

@@Bo_Yang Ya the UD59p isn't bright enough either. It's one of the dimmest LG 4k monitors out there. At only 350 nits but for specs all LG monitors have same color bit and color gamut. I want something brighter for sure though. 450 nits for this monitor is closer to my iMac brightness. Thanks again for the advice.

The white part is from the reflection of my video light and the backlight bleed or the lack of is probably the best I've seen, even better than my LG 5k, but sometimes, its just the luck of the draw.

To get the LG on par with the MacBook pros screen you either have to use the native res or scale to 1080. I don’t like either since one is too small and one is too big so I sacrifice quality to get the resolution somewhere in between

My video editing and graphics station would be a 2018 6-Core i7 Mac Mini. I want to seek a deal on an eGPU so I could plug-in either the laptop or the Mini to *two* displays. (I want a hi-res ultrawide display preferably an HDR of 34-38 inches, *plus* a 4K HDR display (21-26 inches?) with 90º rotating capability for both video review and desktop publishing/page layout work. I want the eGPU to drive both displays from either computer so I have lots of video real estate for a variety of productivity, communications and video/graphics tasks.) I want my setup to be a good quality one, with excellent color fidelity, nits, and refresh rate. I want the Mini and the eGPU tucked away under the desk (sit/stand motorized type, L-shaped) so they are out of the way and there will be minimal noise. I want a Thunderbolt 3 dock to provide ports for connectivity and make it easy to connect either the Mini or the laptop (or perhaps some kind of switch between either the Mini or the laptop?) and I also want top-notch Cable Management so I could occasionally use one monitor for the laptop and the other for the Mini.

The only difference between the two is that the 850 has USB Type-C and speakers. As far as HDR goes, since both monitors only max out at 400 nits of brightness, the HDR is not a game changer. It looks great, but doesn't compare to an HDR10, 1,000 nit set up. I don't think there are 1,000 nit, HDR10, 4K monitors with decent response rates on the market right now.

Hi i am thinking of getting this monitor in your personal opinion how good would you rate The HDR performance of this Monitor on a scale of 10? Thanks.

[@toozigooti]

As I don't have another HDR display to compare it to, I can't give you an accurate rating. Since the monitor does not get too bright, there's not a very noticeable difference. The only time I saw something noticeable was when I was playing Sea of Thieves. The brights were pretty bright and the darks felt natural.

[@toozigooti]

The pixel response is great, Tony. I play a lot of games like PUBG and Halo 5 on the Xbox One X, and I do not notice any issues. When I first got the monitor, the 5-8ms response time took some time to get used to (because I came from a 21" 1ms 1080p monitor), but now I am fully adjusted. No smearing or artifacts. My only gripe is that the monitor doesn't get bright enough, so during a darker scene like night time in Sea of Thieves, it can get really difficult to navigate.

Yo wut up!

I got the 600 version of this from bestbuy and I just can't get over how bad the colors are and the hint of black and white I'm seeing... ?

[@Bo_Yang]

If you just got it I would return it if the colors are that bad.

BoKnowsTech idk if it's just me but I want a 1ms 4k HDR free sync monitor.. any suggestions

[@Bo_Yang]

There is one from Asus ROG line but it’s. $2k!

[@Toga16]

I got two units of this monitor and both of them had horrible backlight bleed. Also altough it is not mentioned in the review, the panel suffers from severe screen image retention. I don't recomend buying this product.

Fooled me, I thought I was about to see Bo Jackson on the tech side of the game but great vid nonetheless!

Acer Prodesigner PE270K is the best with 550 nits peak

[@magooccna]

Seriously why are you guys concern about nits. 500nits? That's a lot more than you'll ever need
