Customers are delighted by the 4K resolution, picture quality, and price of the 27" IPS LED 4K UHD FreeSync Monitor. They appreciate the adjustable stand and the gaming experience with a FreeSync graphics card. While many customers rave about the monitor, a few wish it had built-in speakers.
While shopping for monitors, this was my basic list of needs/wants/likes... Needs: - Solid build that will last 4-5 years - Color accuracy for design - Vibrancy for multimedia/video/gaming - Adjustable height - DisplayPort/HDMI/USB-C vs. VGA/DVI for high quality output Wants: - curved monitor (I liked the idea of a curved multiple monitor setup) - Small bevel for multiple displays - 4K for potential photo/video production needs Likes: - Swivel capability - Sleek look - Thin Profile When looking at a lot of options, I ended up bailing on curved monitors due to this LG display. To get the same specs this offers in a curved version was pushing over $1000 per display. To get everything I needed and most of what I wanted and liked for less than half that, I'm been pretty happy. I do a lot of code/writing work and the ability to Swivel this display vertical is really, really nice when the length of the document is a hindrance on the display and ultimately sealed the deal for me. At 4k, 150% zoom, I can view 125 lines of code at a time! My other 27in display (1920x1080) I can only view 50 lines for comparison. If you're a professional who does a combination of code and design, this really is a perfect option. Oh and the picture is incredible in 4k.. that's just icing after everything else.

This monitor is amazing for the price! Picture quality, refresh rate, color, contrast ratio, and size could not be beat unless going up a couple of hundreds of dollars. I had been reading up on monitors for a while and i was waiting for he 4K 144hz from either Asus or Acer but once i found out they were going to be around $2,000 i decoded that this would be a better fit for now! Everyone should enjoy this monitor! I even plan on buying a second one in he near future so I don’t have to switch inputs between Xbox and PC My only negative to the monitor is that the high refresh rate and expanded color are not set as a default out of the box and require you to adjust it for the Xbox one X to communicate to those settings.

I love this monitor! Ive had it for the past month and have been using it on my 2017 13inch MacBook Pro as an external monitor. At first i thought this monitor was kind of laggy, but i realized this was because it was running at 30hz when i was hooking up my macbook via an USB C to HDMI converted. Once i figured out that I had to use a USB C -> DisplayPort cable, it started runnning in 60hz and it made a HUGE difference! Now the monitor is running great and im in love with it. The colors are really accurate which is important to me because i work with editing phots quite a bit. The extra 4k screen real estate is a huge step up from 1080p, now i will never be able to go back. If you want a very solid monitor for the best price on the market go for this monitor.
