It also gives a multitude of screen split and PIP configurations that you can toggle on.

LG has On-Screen Control software that allows you to change a limited amount of menu options without having to use the joystick button – things like picture mode, contrast, brightness and the gamer settings. Finally there's a response time adjustment to help tame one of the disadvantages of IPS panels. There is also a Black Stabilizer that will raise the black level to make it easier to see while creeping around in the shadows. It is supported over both DisplayPort and HDMI, but not USB-C. For AMD GPU aficionados there is FreeSync with both a Basic and Extended setting for the frequency range. “It isn’t marketed as a gaming monitor, but the 27UK850-W does have a few options to keep us happy. Monitors still can’t match the HDR performance of a television and I really wouldn’t base the purchase of your next monitor on its HDR ability. There is also an HDR Effect mode that can be selected for SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) signals that tries to emulate a HDR image. But at a light output around 350 cd/m2 it can’t properly display HDR (you really want a light output closer to 1,000 cd/m2 or higher). HDR is automatically turned on when it detects an HDR signal.
Along with 4K comes HDR (High Dynamic Range) and the ability to accept a HDR10 signal. And it’s easy to scale up to 150% to make everything as readable as it is on a 1440p 27-inch screen.

You get twice the resolution of a 1080p display and 50% more than a 1440p monitor of the same size. I think 27-inches is a great monitor size for enjoying 4K content. The native 4K resolution detail is phenomenal and a huge step up from 1440p. Color accuracy is very good, viewing angles are excellent, there’s some IPS glow, and response times are slower than TN but can get down to 5ms with a response time setting adjustment.
The LG 27UK850-W uses an IPS panel and comes with all the benefits and shortcomings that entails. Next to the HDMI ports are a headphone jack and the power plug, which connects to an external power brick in stylish white. You’ll need to use either a USB-C to USB-C cable or USB-C to USB-A cable, neither of which are included. There’s a USB hub with two downstream ports, but the power for them is supplied by the USB-C connection. DisplayPort over USB-C (DP Alternate Mode) is supported on the USB-C port. All of these inputs are HDCP 2.2-compatible so you won’t encounter any 4K handshake problems from your 4k consoles, UHD Blu-ray Player, or streaming devices. There are two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.2 port, and a USB-C port. “Facing out from the back panel are ample connection options. The back of the chassis is white (as are all included cable accessories). The only visual marking is the LG badge at the bottom center. Menu navigation and power toggle are all done with a joystick button under the bottom bezel, so there are no buttons anywhere on the front of the monitor. The bezels are ultra-thin and with the black border it’s just 7mm from monitor edge to image edge (about 19mm for the bottom bezel). The stand is a silver half-circle curve and it's very sturdy.
But even with that resolution, is HDR and a smattering of gaming features enough to justify a price just shy of $700?ĭesign and FeaturesThe 27UK850-W has a no-frills, sleek look. It isn’t specifically a gaming monitor but it does come with some features gamers appreciate, including HDR support, AMD's adaptive sync technology, a low response rate – and the benefits of an IPS panel. After LG released its first HDR monitor last year, the 32UD99, it quickly followed up with three more 27-inch models, and the 27UK850-W (See it on Amazon) I'm looking at here is at the top of the heap.
