5.0 out of 5 stars Best mid-priced alternative to Apple 5K display
I performed weeks of research before committing to the 27UQ850-W. While no monitor is perfect, this is likely the best Apple 5K replacement under the $800 price point. I use Apple machines for just about everything except gaming: productivity, software development, creative workflows like photo editing and recording audio, and watching videos. I have a 2019 Macbook Pro 16 i9 (Intel) and another 2021 Macbook Pro 16 M1 Max. Both machines are working great with this monitor.Connectivity---------------DisplayPort and USB-C ports work fine. I can't tell any quality difference between them. My regular setup uses the DP port connected to CalDigit TS4 dock. Cables provided by LG are long enough to reach the TS4, but users with a machine farther away might need slightly longer cables. I haven't tried the HDMI port because a lot of people report Apple issues with HDMI on M1-based machines.This monitor does not support daisy chaining or Thunderbolt.Resolution and Overall Visual Experience------------------------------------------------My biggest concern was how Apple-native 2560 x 1440 ("WQHD") output would look when rendered on a 4K display. I write a ton of code and need text to look really sharp. I read all I could find about this subject and took a field trip to the Apple Store to evaluate the 5K display where the situation is perfectly ideal: 2560 x 1440 logical pixels get rendered onto a 5120 x 2880 display yielding an exact 2X scale factor in each axis. The results are super sharp text and smooth visuals for both content and UI elements -- part of the Retina brand.Here's the thing some readers may wish to know. On a 27" display WQHD output does in fact look best from a text size and UI perspective, at least on Mac. Changing to resolutions other than 2560 x 1440 result in an experience that is less satisfactory. Imagine my surprise when, for WQHD output, text looked 85-90% as crisp as the Apple 5K. I sit between 26" and 32" away from this monitor. At this viewing distance I don't struggle to read anything. Everything is clear. I am confident WQHD output on WQHD-native displays will look much worse despite a perfect 1:1 pixel mapping. I also think WQHD content will look better on a 27" 4K than a 32" 4K due to higher PPI on the smaller display.As to the alleged performance hit Mac machines take while downscaling to non-native resolutions like WQHD, here is my experience. Macbook Pro M1 Max doesn't even blink. There is no observable difference in terms of heat, CPU, or anything else. By contrast the 2019 Intel Macbook Pro i9 runs hotter by 10-15 deg C. The fans run constantly above 2500 rpm. One Youtube user reported slowdowns on Apple hardware while connected to a 4K monitor and rendering scenes in Blender. I can see where this might be an issue for specific Apple machines and/or apps, but I suspect they are edge cases the average user won't run into.This monitor has nice saturation and overall color balance. I'm no colorist but the display just looks really, really good. I tried toggling HDR in Apple settings under display but couldn't discern any observable difference.Interoperability With USB-C Docks----------------------------------------I have accessories like monitor and audio interface connected through a CalDigit TS4 dock. This LG has no problems through it either. Both Macbook Pro machines remember display arrangements and resolutions that were previously selected. I haven't observed power management related snafus as some people report, but I disabled power management while on A/C power.Brightness-------------Going back to the priority for text legibility, I traditionally used extra brightness to enhance contrast and make reading easier on my eyes. I leave this monitor at 100% brightness, but I could probably go down to 85% before it would start to feel dim. Brightly lit rooms probably afford many fewer options unless one agrees to pay the Apple tax for the ultra-bright 5K.Build quality---------------Build quality is okay. It looks like the cheap plastic that it is, though I like the narrow bezel all the way around the front. I haven't tried out audio because I use studio monitors instead.The monitor does not include a camera.In closing I think this is a fantastic monitor -- probably the best I've bought. Gamers and ultra discriminating users who need the very best probably won't be happy with it. For the rest of us it's a nice offering from LG that shows how far IPS panel technology has progressed in recent years.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great companion monitor form my 5K iMac
Great monitor! I use it vertically alongside my 5K iMac. The resolution is perfect. It is very simple to connect and use, and it matches perfectly with an Apple environment.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Macbook Pro M1 Chip!
I got this screen for my Macbook Pro 2021 with an M1 chip! It works great right out of the box! Super Easy assembly! I turned off the beeping sound on the monitor button and chose the Cinema picture mode as I think it matches the color tone of my Mac the most. (I will definitely look into how I could adjust color even more) I am using it primarily for graphic design, web design, photography and simple video edits. I use Canva, Photoshop, Lightroom and Elementor , Wix, etc. The screen image is SO clear and super detailed pixels and there are no issues with text clarity. I like the smoothness of the screen feels easy on the eyes.The screen is adjustable in height & viewing angle. And I decided to use my own BT speakers just cuz I know they are better sound quality anyway. No camera , but my laptop has one anyway so it's not a big deal. I have everything I need right now. And full disclosure, I am not a big time professional designer but this will certainly level up my business output immensely! Honestly if you are looking for a monitor that has 4K UHD 2160p for Mac M1and this is within your budget, it is totally worth it! Hope this helps!
4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly great, but some flaws
I like the picture quality of this monitor. The build, especially for the all-important joystick, is solid: after two years of heavy use, everything still works like new.I have only two complaints: 1. it takes a relatively long time (up to approximately 10 seconds) for the monitor to wake up from sleep when using it with my Mac Studio computer running macOS Monterey (wake-up time with my old Mac Pro, running OSX Mavericks 10.9.5, is very fast); and 2. the USB ports (on the monitor's rear panel) heat up connected thumb drives to where they become hot to the touch within two minutes after insertion; heat destroys electronic components prematurely, so this is not good.Aside from those complaints, I am very happy with this monitor.
Dark edges each side
Screen has dark edges each side. They said you wouldn’t notice it at a distance but even at 3 feet from the screen when the photo was taken, I find them visible particularly for productivity which is my primary use. Gaming should be fine. Also, what’s with the huge power brick? It’s over 7 inches long! Was the designer compensating?
Increíble, todo en uno
Me encantó todo, 144Hz Perfecto para trabajar y jugar. Además el brillo es perfecto. Me encanta porque tiene demasiadas salidas de video.No hay ningun otro que por el mismo precio contenga 4K 144Hz y además bocinas que se oyen muy bien. Para programar es una chulada ya que lo puedes colocar en 90grados. Lo uso con mi MacBook, Xbox series X y mi ps5, todo va perfecto y el HDR va muy bien.

Excelente producto
Good product
Generally speaking, the shipment is very fast, and it is easy to set up.I expect the power plug is compatible with Singapore because the product was purchase from Bolo. sg.And I also spent some time finding the OK button for the OSD setup, the button is well-designed, but it is not visible to the user.Overall, the experience is good.
One of the best monitors
Beautiful design, looks really good on my computer desk, can adjust monitor settings easily with the joystick button. All in all a great monitor, one of the best I’ve used. Wish I could’ve chosen the 32”. LOL.
