Loved this with my Mac Book Pro

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

So glad I got this. I avidly read reviews on multiple monitors that had a USB-C outlet, and I liked the idea of 4K resolution with a 27" screen. I always used to rely on in person evaluation, back in the day when you could go to a Best Buy and look at all the different choices and judge for yourself the quality of color and image reproduction, but the year of Covid and basically general downsizing of tech stores made that impossible so I had to rely on reading about the qualities of my future purchase.

I will attempt to briefly convey what I like about this device. No problems at all with shipping and packaging, and very easy to set up. Pretty much plug and play. I'm happy with the usb-C outlet that simultaneously charges my laptop--this frees up another power outlet for my home office set up. Also use the other usb outlets for charging, no downloading or web cam hook up so no complaints with any speed issues there. I don't have an elaborate set up where I would have any knowledge of testing the speed of the outlets, I saw that commented on other reviews so I'll leave you to their expert feedback on this. I'm very happy with the clarity of the picture, very good color reproduction next to my MBP 2018 so can't complain. I'm not a gamer so those type of issues wouldn't apply to my experience. I also am not tech savvy enough to comment on any "bleeding" or faulty pixels, but am very happy with the result when I stream movies. Purchased some additional speakers because I wasn't happy with the sound quality coming from this screen, and did not like that it did not respond to my keyboard controls either. Nice stable base, would hate if it wobbled as I type like some other devices per their reviews. Tilting and telescope options work well for my use; I did see another model that went from turned horizontal to vertical and that almost swayed me, but glad I saved the money as I really wouldn't need that feature anyway. Have used this now for ten months so no problems and no regrets choosing this model.

Awesome 4K monitor

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Recently I upgraded my PC to something capable of outputting a 4K image, and I've been wanting to buy a 4K monitor for a while. My previous monitor was a Samsung 23" 1920x1080 monitor. I do occasional photo editing, which I figured the 4K resolution would be good for (as well as the additional screen space). I also like to play PC games occasionally. After reading some reviews, I decided to splurge a bit and buy this monitor, and I'm not disappointed.

Some things I like about this monitor:
- The picture quality is excellent. It is bright and looks clear and sharp. Colors are well-defined. I've only used the 4K for a few days so far, but with some photos, I feel like I could stare at them for a while and marvel at how good they look. My photos look nice on this display, and I also downloaded some 4K desktop wallpaper that just look great. Even though this is a PC monitor that isn't as big as a 4K TV, you can still see the detail in images, and it looks great.
- It can connect to a USB type-C port on the PC and has a couple of USB ports on the back of the monitor. I didn't really think this was necessary and didn't really need it, but this is a nice feature. The monitor's USB ports would be useful for plugging in a webcam, for example, so that the USB cable doesn't have to go all the way to the back of the PC case. Or perhaps a USB printer or any other device that is located closer to the monitor than the PC case.
- Good size for a PC monitor. It's bigger than my older 23" monitor, but it still fits on my computer desk at a good distance from my eyes and good level (after some re-organizing of my desk) for me to see it well.
- It has built-in speakers, so it can be used as an audio output device if desired.

Also, the stand lets you move the monitor up or down.

One thing I was worried about was having dead pixels, but mine doesn't have any dead pixels that I can see. Overall I think this is a great monitor, and I'll enjoy using it.

Mac Monitor

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018

I had a lot of anxiety over whether the resolution of this monitor is on par with iMac 27 5K or LG 5K monitor. Had worked with both monitors and played around at Apple Store with both. Always amazed at the resolution and clarity of both LG 5K and iMac 27.

From a photographer and pixel peeper standpoint (and owner of LG OLED TV, iPhone X owner): this 27 inch LG is on par with both of the above LG 5K and iMac 27 5K for a fraction of the cost.

1) Resolution is beyond what is considered "retina" in my book. I cannot even run this monitor on its full 4K resolution as it is just beyond "retina" at that point. It is, for all intents and purposes, as "retina" my iPhone X and MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina display. I would not even hesitate to consider LG 5K monitor over this monitor as the 5K resolution is completely useless for practical purposes (i.e. content will look so small at 5K in a 27 inch monitor that it is unusable).

2) 27uk850 vs 27uk650: the USB-C is absolutely worth the extra 100$ cost. Not only integration with Apple ecosystem is seamless, but also the back of this monitor (and not the 650) has regular USB ports that can be used to hook up your peripherals too. For instance, my wireless mouse (not bluetooth, has a small receiver) is hooked up to the back of the monitor and works seamlessly with the MacBook. This saved from buying a dongle to convert my receiver for the mouse to USB-C and saved me from using a USB-C output on MacBook for connecting a mouse.

3) Charging of MacBook via USB-C is also key. Otherwise, I would have been left with absolutely no ports to hook up anything to my MacBook (1 USB-C gone for displays, 1 USB-C gone for charging).

850 is absolutely worth the price over 650. Would not even be able to live with 650 now that I see the difference.

Please don't worry about whether this is "retina" enough compared to LG 5K at $1300. This is absolutely "retina" enough with excellent color reproduction.

Now the whole DCI-P3 business, I'm not sure about. But then again, I'm a photographer and have never felt like I'm lacking "colors" in even my MacBook Pro monitor which is not covering the whole DCI-P3. The additional cost of having DCI-P3 is absolutely ridiculous in 2018 in my opinion and the difference likely very negligible for 97% of users. I could understand if your life depends on accurate color reproduction, but for the rest of us, DCI-P3 is not worth an extra $700.

Excellent monitor. Speakers are also a nice addition. Reduces clutter from the desk. And can be turned off. In my opinion, the inclusion of USB-C and the back ports of the monitor to attach other peripherals via regular USB is absolutely worth the extra cost compared to 650, even not including the speakers.

El monitor es lo mejor

Reviewed in Mexico on March 16, 2021

The media could not be loaded.

Es mi primer monitor externo que compro, para Mac sirve perfecto ya que tengo la Pro del 2017 y con un solo puerto USB-C puedo cargarla y ver la imagen sin la necesidad de tantos cables,
La imagen es excepcional y no he tenido ningún problema
Lo uso para:
*Progamar
*Editar video en Final Cut Pro
*Tareas básicas de correos, etc.

Pros:
-Si desconectas la Mac o no detecta imagen entra como a un modo reposo donde al conectarla de nuevo se prende en automático
-USB-C con 2xUSB3 (la velocidad es mala)

Contras:
Realmente no le veo nada malo, solamente:
-La velocidad del hub que trae es muy baja, por lo que se usaría para cosas de periféricos
-El brillo más bajo a mi parecer es un poco alto (esto ya es criterio propio y creo que debo cambiar la iluminación de mi habitación)
-****NO PUEDES CONTROLAR EL BRILLO/SONIDO DESDE LA MAC****** todo es a través de su botón inferior, no es molesto pero se podría controlar desde una app.
-El sonido es muy malo, parecen bocinas de baja calidad, se soporta pero es molesto que no tenga nada de bajos.

TLDR: Monitor is not perfect, but it is very good. Granted I have only had it for a couple of days. Speakers are not great but good for basic and utilitarian audio.

Using it in conjunction with a 2016 MacBook Pro 13". Had some initial USB-C issues, but they were to do with some software installed on my mac called duet display. Note this software extends displays to iPad -- and is now almost obsolete with macOS Catalina's sidecar feature -- causes some issues with recognizing the aspect ratio of the display.

After uninstalling duet display the issue has been resolved.

Other than that minor hiccup, the display has been great. If you are someone who writes code and looks at a good amount of vertical oriented documents, you will appreciate the resolution and aspect ratio. I am considering maybe getting 2 of these displays for more horizontal real-estate but for now this is sufficient.

I was on the fence about 4k vs ultra-wide, but I think I'm still into the 16:9 aspect ratio, and like I said you can always add a second display if necessary.

Audio kind of sounds like its coming from one room over, or coming out of a tin can or something, but its better than nothing and good for someone with minimal desk space. Just don't expect to be getting a great music or entertainment experience with them.

A pricey monitor, but the usb type c functionality is a blessing. The monitor comes along with all cords, which are of excellent quality. i primarily use it as a usb c hub for generic office use. the type c delivers a charge of 60W. most 65w laptops will show that the charge is insufficient but still get charged although a bit slowly. the stand is rock solid and feels premium. the inbuilt speakers are not that good but do get loud. the displaybis sharp and the screen has a matte non glossy look which doesnt look great but is easy on the eyes if you use the monitor for long duration. i thought it was better to get this then buy a std monitor and then add a usb c dock.

Worth the price

I originally bought this for school at the end of 2020. The display has been fantastic so far. I use it with my macbook pro using thunderbolt 3. That allows me to charge the computer while sending video which i love. The picture is great and the colours are good. It has a passthrough for 2 USB ports and also a 3.5mm audio jack which is really practical, letting you adjust the volume directly from the monitor. The stand lets you raise the display really high off your desk and you can even change the orientation to portrait.
Although it is on the expensive side, it has been worth every penny so far!

Awesome high quality monitor (works great with Mac)

This is a fantastic monitor. Highly functional, USB-C works very well to charge and carry full 4k UHD video at 60hz and the monitor is elegant and works very well. The sleep and charge functions work perfectly with Mac, and I couldn't be happier with a monitor in this price range. The resolution is fantastic, the display (text) looks just as good as Mac Retina display. If you're looking for an high quality monitor that is not overpriced, and a monitor that works well with Mac (and probably PCs too), this is the best bet. If you have a Mac, you can't go wrong buying this monitor, this is one of the best in the market at this size and price. (The Samsung SH850 series is so much inferior to this, don't even consider it).
