LG's 27-inch 4K monitor is great if you're after a standard 16:9 ratio screen in an attractive package that's as accurate as it is sharp. Sure, we'd prefer it if it had a Thunderbolt port or a Displayport input, but as an all-rounder, it's hard to criticize too much. In terms of ports, you get two HDMI ports, a single 3.5mm output, and the power input. The 60hz refresh rate, 5ms response time, and AMD Freesync means it's a capable gaming monitor too. IPS LCD based tech also means you get good viewing angles too. While it's not as pin-sharp as 4K, there's plenty of detail in the Quad HD resolution panel. That means if you're tall - you can't have the monitor at eye level, although we found with the ability to tilt the screen backward, we could get it angled enough to be pretty comfortable to use.Īs an HDR-ready monitor, it's great, especially for those looking for something simple, capable, and stylish to complement their minimal desk setup.
The Ultrathin series is a fine example of a stylish, minimalist design for a great price.īecause it has a slim, sleek metal stand, you don't get much movement or adjustment out of it as you might from a big, plastic thing with lots of moving parts.
