Product Manuals
A: the general convention for LG monitors is the x50 models have adjustable height stands and the x00 models have fixed height stands.
A: Yes, that MacBook should be able to work with these monitors without a problem. It's worth noting, however, that you'll get the best results using either the official Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and a Premium Certified HDMI cable, or a 3rd party USB-C to DisplayPort adapter (Apple does not offer any directly) and a certified DisplayPort cable. The reason these are important is that some cheaper cables and adapters can cause varying issues in different setups, and these problems are more likely to occur or be more pronounced when driving 4K displays due to the increased bandwidth required with the higher resolution. Note that these monitors do include good quality cables in the box (one DisplayPort and one HDMI), but they are rather short (around 4ft) and may not be ideal depending on your situation. Finally, I would also mention that you will get the best performance in macOS by using either the "Default for display" setting or choosing the first scaling option on the "Larger Text" slider (see the attached photo for reference). This will set the contents on your screen to appear to be equivalent to that of a Full HD (1080p) monitor, but because the monitor itself is twice that resolution at 4K, it has the effect of giving you a Retina quality display. You can also set it to the last option for true 4K resolution with no scaling. If, like me, you prefer a slightly higher resolution, you can choose one of the other scaling options (for example, the second one is equivalent to a 1440p display, and identical in size to that of the non-Retina 27" iMac displays), but be aware that it does slightly affect performance, and you may see your computer using more memory, running the fan more often or more loudly during use, etc. Again, this is only an issue if you choose the intermediate scaling options, but worth mentioning as it has caused some headaches for others who were not aware. Hope this helps!
A: I can't answer the question for a PS/4 as I am Mac only. The display, while very well priced and a good product will supply a 4k (UHD) picture only if it is recent enough to have the appropriate video card installed. To put it simply, if you can upgrade to the Mojave version of OSX, you should be able to see a 4k image. With an older card or operating system, it will default to HD... still a good quality image that leaves 720P in the dust. There are probably better 4k monitors out there, but I haven't seen anything like the low price of the LG. I use it for video editing as well as general computer stuff, and the type appears sharp enough so that is doesn't tire my eyes. This was NOT true of other so-called UHD 4k monitors within $100 of the cost of the LG. It is an excellent monitor for my purposes, and I'm not even pushing a full 4k image through it. I recommend this monitor without reservation.
A: This monitor has Freesync 1. I am currently running an EVGA GTX 1660 with this monitor with Freesync set to Basic and it works flawlessly.
Q: Does this monitor have a microphone, camera and audio speakers?
A: No. It is simply a monitor. I had to add a webcam with microphone and I use external speakers
A: Yes, the 27UL600-W is color calibrated. This monitor, with 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, is a great solution for photographers, graphic designers or anyone looking for highly accurate color. This VESA DisplayHDR 400 monitor has been rated to deliver impressive peak luminance of 400 nits for undeniably spectacular highlights. ^CP
Q: Does this type of monitor have build in speakers? If not what types of speakers does it use?
A: No it does not. You can plug in speakers to the 3.5mm headphone jack.
A: The LG 27'' Class 4K UHD IPS LED Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 400 (27'' Diagonal), Model # 27UL600-W is a Vesa certified DisplayHDR. The DisplayHDR specification for LCDs establishes four distinct levels of HDR system performance to facilitate adoption of HDR throughout the PC market: DisplayHDR 400, DisplayHDR 500, DisplayHDR 600, and DisplayHDR 1000. All tiers require support of the industry standard HDR10 format...^IFV
