I purchased the monitor and man! it looks incredible! In my opinion it looks same as the iMac display, very sharp image and color are beautiful. Currently using it with M2 MacBook Air.
Hey Man! Love your channel. I'm really considering getting this monitor. I'm a content creator and I love to game as well. From watching your review It looks great to edit with Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Logic Pro X. I want to start streaming on twitch soon though and a monitor is currently on my to get list. Would you say this monitor could handle twitch streaming?
163 PPI is NOT Retina. So, sorry for Mac owners ( which I am). If you care about Retina (which I do), you have to buy a 5k Monitor with 217+ PPI. 2160p monitors will not do retina. Even if they are 'ultra fine.' Don't learn this the hard way by buying a monitor thinking you'll get a Retina quality display. Ugh. LG, and Dell, both have 5k monitors though.
Great Video. Thanks for making/posting it. Random question.... Those neon towers flanking the monitor....are they speakers, and if so, what brand / model are they?...I really like them and think they'd be great for my setup.
I have the LG 27 UP850-W and I love it. Now I want to get a second LG 4k monitor for my new 4k cameras that I just had installed. LG has so many 4k models in 27" which one would you recommend for this application. I would get the same one I have now but don't feel the price is justified just for my camera set up. Thanks Mate ☺👍👍👍
Are the speakers loud enough for video calls with fan noise in background? Also does the anti glare effect the sharpness of the display? And does it take away that wow feeling?
Just got it, thanks for the review! Amazon had a 30% off Cybermonday deal in Canada! Yeah! I hope you get your commission! The OnScreen Control doesn't have all the monitor setting you are showing. I wonder if that is because I am on a Mac. These features where what really interested me and convinced me to buy, like controlling the color space for each app. If someone knows if I did something wrong please let me know. I have the version 3.18 4.11. I never had a 4K monitor before. I am excited to work it. I am replacing a ViewSonic ColorPro that my cats broke!! I will need to safely secure this one. Love the slick look. The only thing I would have done to the stand is make the screen go higher to clear my macbook pro 16 inch that I have right in front of it. I need to put it on something.... Thanks again for making this review.
Does this monitor come in 24" ? I already have the 27". But since I just got 4k cameras installed on my house would like the same thing but in 24" sitting rifgt next to my 27". Great review and I love this monitor. Thanks Mate👍
I thought it was 27mn 60T-W. But what your reviewing was 4K. Too much for us don't need 4K for our use. It's on the $150 range. Will be going to buy this at Cost.
Thanks for the review! I've just bought 2 x 27UP850s to use with a 2020 Macbook Pro. When working on an Excel document with grid lines, both monitors make a sound - quite a high-pitched squeal. The noise/pitch changes as I zoom in/out - very bizarre. Have you (or anyone else reading this!) encountered a similar problem with this model from LG when working in Excel/something with many lines on the screen? I am thinking of asking Amazon to send replacements...
I’m trying to decide between this monitor and the Dell S2722QC 27-inch 4K UHD, which I saw you also reviewed. Do you have any thoughts on the differences between those and which one you prefer? Thanks so much!!
Im looking into buying this one or the dell 2723qe. If money is not an issue which one would you get? Is the dell better in screen quality, colors and contrast? Want ir for video and photo editing
I do not have this model but i have the UP850. The colors seem a little off from my macbook pro retina display. It looks a little warmer and highlights are not as hot. what's the best way to calibrate that?
I am looking to get this for someone as a Christmas Present. I had to make sure that I got the correct cable with it. 1) is there a cable in the box? 2) We are looking at a laptop that does NOT have an HDMI nor a mini HDMI but e Thunderbolt 3 (only one) port. Can I use an HDMI to USB C cable and will this cable work through an expansion hub? I mean one of those smaller rectangular hubs that are around 40.00. This hub would be plugged into the Thunderbolt port so I am thinking hub's HDMI to monitor USB C or vice versa... I don't know if the USB C on the monitor's rear can be used to operate the monitor from the laptop's HDMI (on the plugged in hub). If I go from the USB C Hub's HDMI can I just use the Type C end to hook this up from the laptop?
I got one and the IPS glow was very very bad, I am not sure if LG is sending one the pre tested units for review ! and this is the 2nd time I got and the old one had on the top and this one on bottom left and right ! many people reported same issue and there is one video in youtube too !
I hate the stand. I want to cut the feet 4" back on each side. I also realize with this monitor, that with 4k or higher resolution, really need 32" at minimum size.
Hi, I bought this monitor, but I have not been able to view UHD (4k) content on netflix. I have the mac connected with the usb C cable that comes with the monitor, which charges and transmits as you mention in the video, I enter netflix from safari as the netflix documentation mentions. i have macbook pro 2020 premium plan on netflix for UHD macOS 12.3.1 monterrey The netflix titles only appear with the DV (doble vision) tag, but the content is still reproduced in 1080p and not in 2160p. Do you know what will happen or do I need another cable or configuration? Have you been able to watch netflix in UHD with this monitor from the macbook pro?
I’m liking this monitor so far, except for the speakers. They sound horrendous. Like I think they’re broken or something. Also I can’t control the volume on them. The bar is greyed out on my MacBook. Hopefully I’m just missing a setting. Also, the mount is very wobbly. Just typing on a regular keyboard makes the screen bound around. And the slightest touch on the desk with a wrist or elbow makes it move.
Today i Has order LG 27UP850-w How are native display like 1440p on this monitor I am thinking about to Wall mount The monitor seems like vesa100 but The monitor plug in holes goes deepee in, then The rest of The backside

27UP850 (2021 version) has been launched, which has 95% DCI-P3 color gamut
Is this better
@@rathdigital-au Yes
@@VigneshRajaIN How so? In looking at comparison charts, the specs virtually the same, aside from a $50 higher price tag for a later model
@@PadillaD it can do more colors.

Did you find out?
Great video. I was looking for a monitor like this, and the information given is amazing. thank you.
For an Xbox series X in 4K HDR @ 60hz ? (I don't care about 120hz.. I play FIFA ...) is it worth ?
Thank you, such an amazing review I got my Monitor today :)
Hi Aless, any feedback about the monitor you can share? Do you use it for video editing with Apple by any chance?
2 year update?
Nice video, Thank you. Question, what is the different with the LG 27BL85U-W 27" 16:9 HDR FreeSync 4K?
I have 2 monitors to consider. This one is actually one of my top affordable but great monitor
Great review... Can you do a review on the new Dell Ultrasharp 27" 4k U2723QE ?
dope video. where did you get this desk led lights?
Excellent review. Very informative.
nice vid! what are the differences to LG 27UP850N-W ? I´m considering buying the LG 27UP850N-W as it´s even cheaper but i don´t know the diffs
have you found the differences?
on paper, the up should be able to do more colors than the un.
Does this monitor come in 24" ? I already have the 27". But since I just got 4k cameras installed on my house would like the same thing but in 24" sitting rifgt next to my 27". Great review and I love this monitor. Thanks Mate👍

@@ZoltanHanko i Would choose the dell for superior contrast ratio and 90w usb c
Thanks! Just the video I needed to make my decision. Subscribed to your channel! :-)
is it good for programmers? also can we 2 monitors at the same time?
I love the energy in your videos .. well done. Most reviewers just make me sleep or want to gauge out my eyes with their ultra boring energy.
What is the difference between the LG 27 UN850W, UP850W and UL850W. Thanks Mate
would you suggest this monitor for office and light gaming... or the new lg 32gq950?
First of all, where did you get those two light bars on the side of the monitor?
Those are Corsair iCue LT100 RGB Lighting Towers
CAN YOU COMPARE THIS MONITOR TO ASUS ProArt Display PA279CV 27” and which one will you recommend
How do you like this compared to the 27UL550?
Would you say The Eve Spectrum is better than this?
Do you have the dimensions on the curved stand? I really want to know how far it's going to stick out on my desk but I cannot find this info anywhere.
Im looking into buying this one or the dell 2723qe. If money is not an issue which one would you get? Is the dell better in screen quality, colors and contrast? Want ir for video and photo editing
currently deciding between the two, did you ever end up getting one of the two?
The colors on this are beautiful
Great overview! I have an Apple iMac 5k 27 inch late2014. What cable would I need to use this monitor as a second display? Thx!
Is there a 4k monitor 24" That LG still makes I'm in Canada. LG 24UD58-B Monitor 24" 4K UHD I don't think they sell this one anymore? Thanks Mate 👍
I found one, like new, at a Goodwill over the weekend for $60. Not bad.
Wow. Good find!
Love your content! But I have a question: is 27UN850-W new model? I can see so many models like 27UN850, 27UN800… can I use it with my M1 MacBook Pro?
27UN850 is last years model.. 27UP850 is the latest model

Don’t use Monitor speakers lmao that’s where you went wrong… no one uses monitor speakers, go get a pair of speakers like everyone else.
Also sounds like you don’t have a very sturdy desk. You want a desk that does not move at all…
Monitor speakers are just meant for beeps and bops type of output.
how to overclock it ?
