You can also buy the LG 32'' 32UD99 4K HDR10 IPS for only $900. I think most things are the same, It's IPS and not nanoIPS, it has only one Thunderbolt and it's HDR10 but not VESA600.
Bobby Svec you’re paying for color reproduction, even backlighting, just a beautiful display. People like myself who are picky are willing to pay such a steep price for the craftsmanship lol 😝
Apparently this model has some problems running with MacOS Catalina. Researching here, so don’t take my word for it - a quick google reveals some concerning issues. The search continues..
Really wish these displays were not discontinued. I just accidentally destroyed my 21.5” 4K UltraFine display, and would totally buy a 23.5” one to replace it but they are not available anywhere
At about 0:40 you say the big difference between this monitor and the UltraFine in the Apple Store is that this one has Thunderbolt 3. Could you clarify? Seems like all of the apple-endorsed LG monitors have 2 Thunderbolt 3 connections like this.
Please, compare or make a video review of the BENQ SW271. I would like to know if the LG against the BENQ is better with that monitor. I need to define my purchased.
How come 'retina mode' with lower pixel density? This monitor has 139 PPI vs Apple's Retina being ~218-220 PPI. It might look good and sharp enough, but I don't think it can be a true seamless extension of a Mac with retina display
@@evanmarshall9498 the Apple store never does sales. I think the 32” has been on sale at Best Buy though. I’m more interested in the 24” though because I just know it’s simpler to use.
i have 1 question: can i use HD video editing i3 macmini with lg 4k monitor? our country economi is not good and mac products very expensive and so i can only buy i3 macmini or old macbook air. Thank you.
This one has 2 thunderbolt ports, is it possible to share it with Mac mini and MacBook Air with 2 thunderbolt cables (switch it between two computers)?
But dear friend, just a tech note for the Thunderbolt thing u put urself in... Ur screen is plug in. U can't compare thunderbolt speed with the direct Imac plug, bc the screen itself is pumping the rest of the bandwidth. Good review ! I feel u like this one, much more than the other LG UW.
gabriele gelfo Can you please tell me if you don't have hdr activated in windows does hdr appears on the left corner of this monitor when you watch a hdr 10 60 fps on youtube or a movie ? I mean hdr standard vivid cinema.
Hi Jeff! Could you show an good combination of a dockingstation for a MacBook or MacBookPro with an external wide display for videoediting? Greets from Germany 😉
How about standby? I have a 4K LG monitor with USB-C (27UD88) and the standby behavior really bugs me. for comparison: the Apple Thunderbolt instantly switches off and on - no grey image or any delay... that's why I have switched to my Apple Thunderbolt Display after using the 4K for WFH... I'd really like to hear your detailed experience with standby ... Thanks so much!
Just purchased this monitor. I also use a CalDigit TS3+. When connecting, should I connect my MBP to the CalDigit and the CalDigit to the monitor or MBP to the monitor and the CalDigit to the second port on the monitor? Thanks!
this is just me, 32inch is not workable for coder. We need a large workable surface area but concentrated enough to be focused. Large screen is really a distraction, believe it or not. However 4k, 5k, or whatever k is really important, so that we can keep small screen close to you. But you really can't bring this 32inch close to you, can you? Just try it. The heat can blow you away sometimes.
Hi there, what’s your view on this monitor now? Any good for Phototgrapher and videographer? Thanks in advance. I’ve watched loads of Your videos recently. Can you help me by telling me how you do your audio voiceovers thanks
Hi there. If I purchased one or two of these and daisy chained to my IMac. Could I drag browser windows from my iMac and drop them on the other displays? Or can you only mirror ?
Thanks for the review. DO you have any idea if this can be used at 4k/60hz on a 2015 iMac that is Thunderbolt 2? I know there is a TB3 -> TB2 adapter from Apple, but I have no idea if it would work on this monitor at max frame rate. Any help?? Thanks!!
I'm considering purchasing this one or two of the refreshed 24" UltraFine 4k panels that Apple sells. Looks like they now have two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Does anyone know how the screen quality is compared to the LG UltraFine 5k?
Hi. I have a Macbook Pro 16" and a LG 32UL950-W. I am using an Apple Magic Keyboard. Is there any option to control the volume and the brightness of the monitor with the keyboard? Tks ;)
Can you test the speeds on the USB-A connections when the Mac is connected to the monitor via USB-C? Older models defaulted to 2.0 speeds in this scenario. I'm curious if they've fixed this yet.
Photographers that are serious about printing need to know what percentage of the Adobe RGB color space a monitor can display. Almost no one ever gives this and I have to go hunting it up elsewhere.,
i know this is 2 years old but I just bought the 5k2k LG monitor and I'm not a fan of the ultrawide (miss the vertical). I ordered the 32UL950 which will be here in a few days and I suspect I'll be shipping back the 5k2k ultrawide.
There is so much wrong with this "review". For starters, you review a monitor without saying a single word about the most important aspect of any monitor: the picture quality. Not a single word. Another example is the spot where you show a white object moving across a black background and then say what we see there is backlight bleed. What we saw there had absolutely nothing to do with backlight bleed. Here is a pro tip for you: If you believe you have to make TH-cam videos, actually know what you are talking about.
When usb c came out why companies didn't make all ports usb c? Why it's hard for them to do that? It's fast & all devices/hardwares capable! I don't understand them companies! I really admire the devices nowadays that have only usb c ports!
Андрей Бойков Because the Ipad screen is a different Ratio it was like 4:3.5 or so don’t want to google now it’s 6am in Germany and I don’t went to sleep yet.
Looks cheap and nasty. Value for 💰.. the richness and depth of the 5K iMac screen still looks WAY better than any external display. And you get a computer built into it too. Plus the build quality shits all over this garbage. Look at that crappy white plastic backside and that cheap-ass stand. No thanks. New iMac’s came out yesterday - now is the time to buy.. 🖥

Any thoughts on this display vs the LG Ergo?
Fantastic - a review for this monitor which goes in depth re the ports on the back - well done !
Whats the exact difference compared to the 32ud99?
I can’t bring myself to pay $1000 on 1 display. I got two 27” 4K displays with hdmi to usb-c adapters for under $800 total

What models?
Well when your living depends on it, then 1k is nothing
Yes this model ideal pricing would be around 700-800$ price.
Doh! Bottom Thunderbolt 3 port to charge your MacBook at 60W. Thank Youuu. I wondered why mine was only charging at 15W .....

It’s math. 4K pixels on a 32” monitor = DPI. You want better at that size screen, get 5K, 6K, 8K
Should I go with this display over the new 24" 4K Ultrafine on the Apple Store? It seems this one still might be a bit better...
I’ve been waiting for those to go on sale for over 2 years and I have never seen them go on sale so I’m looking for alternative options.

Jeff, How is the actual display (i.e. picture quality, brightness, color correctness) compared to a 5K iMac?
Of course it is shittier
can I use both screens separately I mean MacBook screen and LG screen for different work at the same time?? please reply...
You can get a 5k display from LG that will work with Macs so why would you want this one ?
Why put the headphone jack there? I'll need an extension for the cable!
There are other videos that say this is not compatible with Apple through the thunderbolt?
Would you recommend this also for the Mac Mini M1?
Doesn't this have scalling issue with macbook pro ?
Hi there, what’s your view on this monitor now? Any good for Phototgrapher and videographer? Thanks in advance. I’ve watched loads of Your videos recently. Can you help me by telling me how you do your audio voiceovers thanks
Excellent presentation!
Will there be a 27" version? My other monitor is 27" and I'd like the higher pixel density
4K for 27" is kind of wasteful tho, rather go for 1440p
So does it support changing brightness via Apple keyboard?
Can you say any monitor settings you have in the system settings? Everything is tiny on native 4k. What are you setting there?
What resolution are you using with your MacBook? Is it non-retina, retina or something in between?
Hi there. If I purchased one or two of these and daisy chained to my IMac. Could I drag browser windows from my iMac and drop them on the other displays? Or can you only mirror ?

Anyone know if the USB-C hub can be used with a USB-C to ethernet adapter to provide network connectivity to the connected
Macbook?
cleanest set-up i've ever seen,
Recommendable for the M1 MacMini 1st Gen??
can you change brightness with keyboard?
The 65W thing is the big issue for most Thunderbolt dislplays for me. 60W is not enough to power my 15" MBP. :-(
Can you clamshell mode your macbook with just that thunderbolt 3 connection?
Does this support True Tone with a Macbook?
Ian Holland Sorry but I’m don’t think does
Thank you 9to5Mac, I really enjoyed the video but how come you pronounce display as DISS-play? It's noticeably distracting.
I'm considering purchasing this one or two of the refreshed 24" UltraFine 4k panels that Apple sells. Looks like they now have two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Does anyone know how the screen quality is compared to the LG UltraFine 5k?

@@derekkelly485 The two 24" UlraFine 4k panels. Still using them; still happy. :)

No, only LG Ultrafine 5k and 4k(which sold on apple store) have Mac OS integration
what is length and breadth of this monitor?
Can you test the speeds on the USB-A connections when the Mac is connected to the monitor via USB-C? Older models defaulted to 2.0 speeds in this scenario. I'm curious if they've fixed this yet.
is the macbook heating up(fans revving up) when connected to the display?
are the 4 Bezel identical? or is the bottom bigger?
so basically a regular update for 27uk850
Can you run another 4k monitor from this monitor leaving the other thunderbolt port on the iMac for an external HD?
I wanna know the same exact thing
Does it have camera and speakers
can we replace the 27inch 5k iMac for video editing??
can't find this on store anymore?
Does it have HDMI CEC?
How with 4 k resolution icons look properly sized? When I used 4K everything is so small ;\
You need to enable scaling in your display preferences in macOS. :)
Andi Palmer scaling in macOS simply reducing resolution. No option to keep 4k with larger fonts for menus like in windows.
It’s still 4K when scaled. The resolution is 2k, but there are double the pixels in both directions. Less screen real estate but as crisp as native.
What is the total height at the lowest position?
What about daisychaining two displays? That is waht we want since my old Thunderbold display.
Stephan Görgens you can do that no problem
Photographers that are serious about printing need to know what percentage of the Adobe RGB color space a monitor can display. Almost no one ever gives this and I have to go hunting it up elsewhere.,
Can you use the other port to connect an other display
Anyone know what the pixel density is on this monitor?
great video !
What does it have 2 thunderbolt build in?
what about connecting the eGPU to the macbook and output to the monitor via DisplayPort on the GPU itself ?
??? Yes it does

1080p monitor with 144hz be is a IPS or VA is better. Oh and Macbooks use IPS panels but only at 60hz.
Only 60w for charging !!!! This monitor is designed by a non-Mac person for sure
that really stop me from getting this. Should go 85 or higher. tho daisychaining is pretty good.
