LG 27UL850-W Reviews

A 4K monitor 4 MacB Pro users

By Roy
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-05-10

I got a new MacBook Pro laptop recently, and I wanted to get a 27in monitor to upgrade from a 22in. I initially bought a BenQ PD2700Q, but after a few days, I realized that its resolution wasn't jiving with the MBP as an external monitor. I did some research (which I should have done before), and learned that MBPs prefer 4K monitors. After a quick and very easy return of the BenQ monitor to B&H (thank you B&H!), I ordered the 27UL850. I am very pleased with it so far. My uses are mainly for documents and photo imaging. I like the minimal footprint of the monitor's stand, which allows more desktop space. I also like the monitor's "joystick" button control for the on-screen menu settings...much better than the typical 4-5 buttons on the side or bottom to select monitor settings. I haven't tried it yet to watch blu-rays, because I've been using it to do my personal research work and projects!

Excellent Monitor for Architects

Excellent screen quality. Images and text are sharp. Sleek design. Perfect size to run side by side applications. Speaker sound is ok - not the best - but it gets a pass from me. I'm considering buying another one soon.

Excellent all around monitor

By Tyler

This monitor is a great choice overall, and I would say the best value in this price range. I use it with my M1 MacBook Air, and I would say the image quality is equal to or slightly better than the built in display. The brightness, contrast, viewing angles, and color accuracy are all excellent. I don't use the built in speakers, but they sound okay and it's nice to have them as an option. It's great that this monitor is VESA compatible, but I've found the included stand to be so good that I don't feel the need to upgrade to an aftermarket stand; being able to rotate 90 degrees is a nice bonus as well. The connectivity is possibly my favorite thing about it; it acts as a hub so I can plug several things into the monitor, then connect a single USB-C cable to my laptop. That frees up lightning ports on my MacBook so I can use those for things that require faster data transfer speeds.

Crisp, vivid, outstanding on text and images

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really top-notch monitor. The 4K image makes a huge difference in visual quality. It reveals everything in a photo or video, good or bad. You may be surprised to see how clear your cellphone shots are, as well as how fuzzy some online video clips can be! It matched up with no fuss to my new PC using the included DisplayPort and USB cables, The picture settings were fine out of the box, no adjustment needed. The included speakers are just OK, and I suspect are mostly there for convenience. If you want really good sound, use a pair of separates. Overall, a fine product

Needed a second monitor for my gaming rig which I mostly use for Zwift. Haven't run my Spyder X calibration on it yet, but out-of-the-box color is good -- no discernible color casts or shifts. 4K content also looks great on it. Great monitor for a great price from B&H.

Does this pair well with a MacBook Pro 16in 2020? Does that differ from powering the laptop?
Asked by: Sunah
Yes it works well but not enough power through USB-C to charge the MacBook on the single connection. You would need to either keep the MacBook plugged into its own charger or do what we did — Use a 3rd-party USB-C dock with sufficient wattage for power delivery (your MacBook charger and all your peripheral including wired network plug in to the dock and the MacBook connects with just a single USB-C cable)
