This monitor is stunning to look at these pictures do not do it justice trust me. I don't see it as a big issue though in fact its not that noticeable unless you are purposefully looking for it. One thing I will mention though is that the monitor does have some light bleed in dark environments when the screen has a black picture. I have tested it in daylight as well as in a dark room and it is just as good. Because this screen is 4K it looks even superior! It is crystal sharp and extremely vibrant so watching content is very enjoyable. Previously I used to watch movies on my Thunderbolt Display which was also 27" so I have become accustomed to the experience. Nonetheless I have already adapted because it is still quite big and when you have it closer to your face the experience is just as immersive. I find that a 40" gives you more of a cinematic experience whereas a 27" is more of a personal experience. Coming from a 40" TV down to a 27" monitor is quite a difference. PC gamers might want to go with a gaming monitor instead however although as of right now not many support 4K like this one does. Better monitors with DisplayPort 2.1 and 144hz+ refresh rates will no doubt come out later but for now I think its a great purchase. The monitor only supports 60Hz but that is more than adequate for console gaming right now. Maybe not quite as bright as my old Samsung but still pretty good. Very sharp and crisp with bright vibrant colours. My monitor is connected to a PS5 and I have to say that it just looks amazing. It is also more than bright enough both with light and dark themes. And as I mentioned earlier the screen can rotate so you could make it vertical which lets you see more of your code on screen leading to less scrolling. Text on the screen looks nice and crisp which makes programming a joy to do. It is super sharp at 4k whereas my Thunderbolt display was only 2k. I am a programmer and this monitor is amazing when it comes to doing programming. Having a matte screen means there is zero glare so you don't need to worry about sunlight and reflections turning your display into a mirror which is a problem I always had with my Thunderbolt Display. This monitor also has a matte screen whereas my old Thunderbolt Display had a glossy screen. I tend to use headphones but its nice to know that it has a speaker which is not too bad. It even has an inbuilt speaker which can get pretty loud too. Be that web browsing, watching a movie, gaming etc. The monitor has numerous colour profile settings which work great as it can be adjusted for whatever function you are using it for. ![]() And unlike the TV this monitor has HDR too which is a bonus. The LG 27UL850W 4K monitor has a resolution of which is the same as my previous Samsung UE40JU7000 4K TV however it has a faster response time of 5ms whereas the TV had 8ms. However I don't have a laptop with USB-C yet so I have not tested it out however I assume it will work as advertised. This monitor lets you connect computers via USB-C which powers the display and charges the computer which is just what I was looking for. In my current setup I have the LG 27UL850W 4K monitor connected to a Macbook Pro Retina 13" via HDMI and also a PS5 via HDMI. The stand allows the screen to rotate as well so you can have it horizontal or vertical depending on what you are doing. ![]() Setting up the monitor is quite straight forward all you need to do is clip the stand into the back of the monitor and its complete. A USB-C and HDMI cable is included so you do not need to buy one separately which is great. You have the monitor, stand as well as cables and documentation. The LG 27UL850W 4K comes in a nice box and is well packaged. As I wanted something that had both HDMI and USB-C ports so I could use it as a monitor and also for console gaming. At the time I also had a Samsung UE40JU7000 4K TV which I could have potentially used as a monitor however due to input lag and the fact that TV's do not generally have USB-C ports I ruled it out. It was an Apple Thunderbolt Display which was great back in the day but had become depreciated by Apple years ago as newer macs were now using USB-C for charging as opposed to MagSafe. I needed a new monitor as my previous one was starting to show its age.
