Our review
The LG 27UQ850V-W offers a well-balanced 4K panel with good brightness and a handy USB-C port. It works equally well for productivity and HDR content viewing. A KVM function is missing for users juggling multiple workstations.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the LG 27UQ850V-W run at?
The panel shows 3840x2160 pixels across 27 inches, around 163 pixels per inch. That is a 4K definition, roughly 4 times the pixels of a Full HD panel, so text looks sharper at the same display size. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the LG 27UQ850V-W a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 27 inches at 3840x2160 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the LG 27UQ850V-W have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand and built in speakers, but goes without a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the LG 27UQ850V-W worth 420 euros?
At 420 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 1,600 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. It sits in the 4K category of our selection. Main strength: sharp and bright 4K image. Main compromise: 60Hz only.
