Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

This monitor has a sharp 4K resolution, which is 4 times sharper than Full HD.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) ensures you'll experience a wider color representation and higher contrasts on your monitor.
Very compatible with the MacBook (12 inches), thanks to the USB-C port.
Due to the fairly wide monitor stand, this monitor takes up a lot of space and you need to make sure it fits on your desk.

Description

The LG 27UL850 is a 27-inch monitor with 4K resolution on which you can edit photos, watch movies, and play games. You experience colors very vividly and realistically thanks to the DisplayHDR 400 support and the 99% sRGB color range. This way, you get to enjoy the smallest details of your holiday snapshots and favorite movies. If you play games, the FreeSync technology ensures smooth moving images. You can also connect a Playstation to enjoy games in 4K, for example. The 27UL850 is height-adjustable, so you can adjust it to your sitting height. This way, you're always comfortably in front of the monitor without straining your neck or shoulders. With the USB-C connector, you can connect devices such as a MacBook and charge peripherals.

Note: As a result of 4K resolution, text and icons become smaller, which you can't always enlarge. For a 4k output, you need a modern laptop or PC with a fairly powerful video card. Make sure it has at least a DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, or Thunderbolt 2 connection.

Beautiful screen for 15-inch MacBook, but turn off HDR

Very nice screen. After much deliberation, I made the choice for this screen. Was looking for a monitor for around 500 euros with good color reproduction and USB-C to charge my MacBook Pro 15-inch 2018. Definitely no regrets! I was particularly concerned about the possible color difference between the Mac's beautiful Retina display and this one. I work as a designer, so it's super important that this screen shows the right colors. I've worked on an Apple Thunderbolt display before, so I was excited to switch to another brand. Since Apple now recommends LG 4k/5k Ultrafine screens (above my budget), I thought other LG screens would be good too. And or!

Rigging and installation went smoothly. Footrest clicks into the screen. Connect a laptop via USB-C and you're done!

However, the monitor didn't show the same color profile as my MacBook, way too blue and way too much contrast. I was also unable to change color settings (contrast or RGB values) via the monitor's menu. Then tried HDMI to USB-C (via Apple adapter). Got the right colors now, so was afraid this had to do with the USB-C connection. Long story short: You can turn on the High Dynamic Range via Apple's System Preferences > Display. Don't do this, turn it off and voila!

Great screen for all-round use

Razor-sharp image
Beautiful color rendering
Beautiful design
All other screens in the house are now disappointing

Bought the LG 27UL850 myself for use next to an LG 34UM88C that I bought a few years ago. In short, a very nice screen, very sharp with a beautiful color reproduction.

Two advantages for me in addition to the image quality are, on the one hand, the many options to adjust the display and the various inputs. You can adjust a lot when it comes to color reproduction, contrast, brightness and HDR settings, allowing you to create a display that is exactly to your liking. In addition, the many inputs ensure that I can easily switch between my PC (DisplayPort), Playstation (HDMI) and iPad Pro (USB-C).

If you're looking for a 4K monitor for work, casual gaming and entertainment, the 27UL850 is the right choice for you!

Very good screen for an attractive price

4K resolution gives a sharp image
Attractive price for amount of features
Image, peripherals and power on 1 USB-C connection
Rear USB-A connector disconnects in sleep mode

Product is good, especially for the price recommended. Connecting everything with 1 USB-C connection is very pleasant. Image quality is excellent, even with non-integer scaling on macOS. HDR certification is nonsense, however. It should also be mentioned that the USB-A connection on the back does not work as expected. These ports are disconnected upon waking from sleep. This is not a problem for a mouse, for example, but these ports are therefore not suitable for an external hard drive, for example.
