A great deal for a 27 inch 4k 60 Hz display monitor. It’s much bigger than what we expect, much more real estate to work on. I had a concern whether 4k would fit in for a 27 inch for Mac OS because of the scaling issue. Mac OS is optimised to have a 5K (Retina) or 1440p (Non Retina) resolution for 27 inch monitor. Hence, for 4k, it has to be scaled. So far, no performance issue observed. A bit outdated with slightly larger bezels. Height adjustment not possible and No Type C nor USB ports available. Other than that, this is a great monitor to buy at this price.

If you are like me who wears progressive lenses (spectacles), it’s a night mare finding a good monitor for comfortable viewing. The monitor has to be absolutely perfect to be able to work for few hours. Otherwise, within half an hour, eyes start to strain and you feel dizzy. So, a 4K monitor is absolutely essential. This monitor perfectly fits the purpose. I bought a 24 inch model for about Rs.23,000 because the 27 inch model is way too expensive for what it offers. If you can get a 27 inch model for a good price, you should certainly prefer the 27 inch model over the 24 inch model. Details below:
Though it is perfect for my daily routines, there are a few downsides to this monitor:
1) Poor upscaling of 1080p video. While in 4K, if you try playing a 1080p video, this monitor really struggles to upscale. So, any upscaling/downscaling, make sure that you do it in your computer. If you intend to watch movies/videos in full screen, you may be disappointed. (I have only tried HDMI so far. I am yet to try display port)
2) The audio out of ARC is not on par with the audio directly out of laptop headphone jack. When connected to speakers, the audio from laptop’s headphone jack out performed the audio from ARC jack of this monitor.
Now, coming to the PROs of this monitor:
This monitor certainly produced very clear and crisp fonts and images. Given that I wear progressive lenses, I had absolutely no problem working on this monitor sitting up close or sitting a little farther away. The colour rendering, anti reflection etc are all just right for daily work. I have not tried gaming, so I can’t speak of it.
Previously, I tried the BenQ GW2480 monitor, which was 24 inch 1080p monitor. But I had quite some difficulty with it. No matter how position my sitting, the BenQ’s was fuzzy because it was 1080p and my progressive lenses just did not find any good position for best viewing.
Get the 27 inch model if its available for reasonable prices. With the 24 inch model, the fonts are too small and I had to bump the scaling to 175% for optimal viewing. (The lesser the scaling, the better it is). With 27 inch monitor, you should be able to work at 150% scaling. But if you do consider going to 27 inch model, try to find a curved monitor if you prefer to sit up close for working.
The Onscreen Control is very useful .. especially if you are programming or multi-tasking or graphic designing or a student using the computer for learning while going through video/training material on one half and working on the other half.
The monitor has a fairly decent amount of tilt. The monitor stands about 10 cm from table top. It is not height adjustable. But the tilt will provide enough flexibility to give an appropriate viewing angle. This is much better positioning than the BenQ GW2480 with regards to height and tilt. (Ofcourse, the build quality of BenQ is way better). This LG model does not look super premium…but is decent enough.
The joy stick to adjust monitor settings is smooth, easy and intuitive unlike the BenQ which was very non-intuitive.
Easy access to all the HDMI/Display Port/ Audio Jack. Easily reachable if you need to quickly switch connections. No hard to reach places.
Note: I have read some reviews saying that this monitor is better than MacBook Pro’s Retina display. May be that’s the case for 27 inch versions. But comparing this 24 inch model with my 13 inch MacBook Pro’s Retina display, the Retina display is better than this monitor. However, the difference is not to an extent that will make you eager to go back to retina display at every opportunity. You won’t miss the Retina display. Working on this monitor is as pleasing as working on the Retina display. I use this for both Windows and Macs. As far as the appearance, with this monitor, the Windows is now not that far from MacBook as it used to be. Prior to this monitor, the MacBook Pro was always my go to machine. But this monitor reduced the gap between Windows and Mac significantly.
Apparently, LG has increased the MRP of this model from Rs.27,000 (in 2018) to Rs.31,500 (in 2020). While the price of electronics and display panels has drastically dropped over the past three years, surprisingly, LG has increased the MRP. If you are not in a rush, you should wait for a good deal or better offer from Samsung etc. I strongly believe that the price will come down to Rs.15,000 within 6 months (or soon after the COVID situation resolves and things return to normalcy).

Estaba buscando un monitor con adecuadas prestaciones, que fuera compatible con una MacBook Air con el nuevo chip M1. Actualmente lo utilizo conectado a la MacBook Air mediante un adaptador de HDMI, dando una excelente respuesta. Inicialmente, tenía sentimientos encontrados porque el panel me daba unos colores y saturación un poco alejado a lo que estaba acostumbrado a la pantalla del Mac; sin embargo, al hacer unas modificaciones en el monitor, en la configuración en la imagen y demás, he logrado obtener unos resultados óptimos y bastante agradables a la vista. A pesar de ser un panel IPS, sus colores negros son bastante buenos (y si ajustas la gama de colores es probable que encuentres el tono más agradable para ti).
También lo he utilizado para jugar Nintendo Switch y se ve increíble (y eso que el Nintendo Switch da por mucho 1080p) así también con un PS4, y los juegos se ven bastante bien y fluido (ojo, si quisieras jugar más allá de 60Hz, es mejor que busques otras opciones, quizá no en 4K, pero sí a mayor cantidad de tasa de refresco).
Pros: + Monitor bonito y agradable a la vista. + Buen panel y buena reproducción de colores (aunque tienes que ajustar un poco la ganancia y demás opciones). + Buen rescatado en consolas y buena respuesta. + Excelente precio.
Contras: – Base no es ajustable, por lo que es probable que debas conseguirte un soporte VESA. – No tiene bocinas (pero, bueno… hoy en día creo que la mayoría usamos bocinas externas).
En términos generales, estoy muy pero muy satisfecho y feliz con mi compra.
*** ACTUALIZACIÓN*** Para mejores resultados con la MacBook Air es aconsejable utilizar un cable USB-C a Display Port, verás qué hay disminución de lag y todo irá más fluido. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Muy buena compra, no es barata, pero vale la pena, es medio difícil el botón de encendido y apagado al ser solo uno, lo tocas y te abre siempre el menú rápido, pero una vez que lo conoces no tiene tema, uso solo el DP, no tiene bocinas aun cuando mi PC, lo ubica como si las tuviera, la opción de protección de vista es buena y también la opción de READ, que uso para trabajar y ver correo, muy buena compra, de hecho, estoy por comprar el segundo para instalarlos juntos.

This is my 3 Week Usage Feedback; I bought this monitor after my desktop failed to make my laptop as desktop and realized why i never did this earlier. Anyways, I am breaking up this feedback on key features that I have been using. I am not a gamer, so don’t really know the gaming performance.
1. Setup – Easy. It took just 15 minutes and no youtube videos to set this monitor up. Mind you, it comes with HDMI cable, I had to purchase an additional Mini DP to DP port cable for my laptops to work.
2. Macbook Pro – I have a macbook pro retina model 2015, the display is very crip and colors are accruate. Infact, after the built in retina display, this was the most accurate color i saw on an external monitor. It supports resolution upto 3830 x 2160 but, on the macbook, the windows and fonts become too small to be really useful. Trying to watch 4k youtube videos, the book started getting extremely hot and so I avoided it. I am using it 2K resolution now, closest to retina display. Documents, Photos, background wallpapers, etc..beautifully rendered on the screen. Netflix and Prime video on Safari browser at 2k resolution, no issues at all. Hotstar live stream – again no issues at all. So overall, i give thumbsup to this monitor with macbook pro.
2. Windows 10 – I also have access to a Windows 10 laptap from work. It had a terrible built-in display but, this monitor suddenly made it look beautiful. Able to use it at max resolution of 3840 x 2160; Windows has the ability to zoom up the font to 150% and it does look beautiful and very accurate. Suddenly, my love was windows has grown that i am right now using it as my primary device with this monitor. 4K videos – It struggled. too many stutters. Other than that – all videos on youtube, netflix, prime and hotstar – fantastic.
3. Brightness and other monitor issues – Not so many so far. I am not seeing any overaly bleeding even if the screen goes too black – lets say seeing a dark scene on a movie. The anti-glare is pretty good. the monitor holds good both on bright sunlight days and with indoor lights(cool daylight and warm daylight) Build quality is quite solid as well. I really need to bang the keyboard very hard for monitor to shake or vibrate. I have found the stand very sturdy. 4. Issues – Not so many so far but, height adjustments or tilt..i don’t know..i just could not get it done. I was scared to put too much pressure so never tried it. Documetation is very poor and no seal on warranty slip. You need to register it with LG’s website for warranty thing to work. No Sound from the monitor as well. So I am using bluetooth speakers with my laptop instead.
Overall, i am pleased with the 3 weeks that I have spent on this monitor, now hoping i don’t get to see any build quality issues or pixel issues 6 months, 12 months and so on..down the line.

Good monitor for watching 4K media and general work. But I would not recommend it for gaming because of the low refresh rate, thick and chunky bezels and lack of audio (speakers or out port)
4K is usable only over Display Port as the HDMI specs are very outdated and frame rates are limited to 30FPS at UHD/4k Resolutions.

Optimum resolution for this monitor is 2560 x 1440. If we choose 4k resolution (3830 x 2160), text is very small and not good for eye comfort. Display quality is good, overall value for money purchase…
