Bought this to use as a work from home pandemic monitor. I have a 2018 macbook pro and wasn't disappointed by the crisp resolution and features. This monitor is a workhorse, allowing me to be more productive and preserves the crisp mac retina resolution. I would buy again!

Picture quality is great! Stand, not so much but that’s an easy fix. The reason I didn’t take away from the 5 stars is because I don’t use the stand anyway.

Red corners appeared after warranty. I have been using only LG monitors for years but didn't thought that this will break so soon. It was last time i bought LG

So I've bought this monitor for personal use, mostly photoshopping and drawing, so I'm looking for a panel with great colors and high resolution. This panel does what its supposed to do very well. Tho, the stand for the monitor left a lot to be desired, its rather wobbly but can simply be fixed with a vesa mount, which I would recommend for everyone.

I bought this monitor about a month ago and really love the picture. However, I am very disappointed with the stand. It is non-adjustable and the screen is angled downward ( \ instead of | ). I ended up placing something under the front legs to adjust the angle, but should not of have had to do this.

I bought this monitor about a month ago now, and its a massive step up from my old 1080p TN panel. This one just blows it out of the water. great colors, an a multitude of settings in the menus insures I will always get the best picture I can. The only bad thing I can say is the annoying backlight bleed, it's nowhere near as bad as other monitors on the market, but for such a premium price I had hoped it would not be as noticeable.

I bought this only a week ago but testing it with high quality 4K footage it is so real to life. They gaming, it looks beautiful. And to top it all of it the cheapest color accurate IPS 4K 27” monitor I could find. Great product from LG

Purchasing a 4k display was a complete game-changer when it came to on-screen real-estate management. Not to mention that the pictures were more crystal clear than I've ever seen them before. My only complaints are with the power transformer that comes with the monitor. Firstly, it seems to get just a little too hot, all that heat is wasted energy. Second, the contact between the 3-prong polymer plug and the transformer is a bit loose; with the smallest amount jostling, like your foot bumping it, the connection breaks and you have to get down there and force the two together. All in all, world class screen. poverty class transformer.

I've had this monitor for several months and have been absolutely pleased with my decision. The clarity and definition is amazing.

I have used this monitor for about 6 months, and I couldn't be happier with it. It's bright, sharp, large, and works great with my Mac. If I were forced to come up with a complaint, the provided stand is a bit too wobbly. But that could easily be fixed by getting an inexpensive VESA desk mount. Overall, very very happy with this purchase!

This is a high quality monitor, not just for the money but all around. Looks great for video editing and photography, but also gaming.

Purchased this monitor 9 months ago. It is an excellent monitor. True colors, vibrant, and clear pixels. It is used for both personal and professional work. Very pleased with the quality and price.

I've had this monitor for about a year now and I just love it! I'm an avid armature photographer and I do a great deal of photo editing. The detail and clarity I get from this monitor makes work that used to be tedious very enjoyable now. I original purchased a competitors monitor with simlar specs, but was very disappointed with the picture quality and colors. I swapped that monitor for the 27UD68-W and never looked back. Thanks for a great product!

Great color depth, resolution, quality. Easily mountable on any kind of stand. Great size if you want a single monitor.

I have been using this as a second monitor to hook up to my laptop for work and I'm very pleased with it. The resolution is even a bit too high compared to my laptop but I was able to adjust settings a little and I'm used to it.

My unit died after a few months, then two rma's later, and still not a working unit, LG graciously refunded my money. I can't fault their service, and the the unit, while it worked was nice.

Ive had this Monitor since it came out, i was weary of LG all together after my LED 27 inch stand snapped out of no where and broke (product has been discontinued by LG http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27EA63V-P-led-monitor. So far so good, will update if monitor snaps off stand.

I wish I had known what I was missing with 4K. I've been playing GTA 5 and Skyrim with all of my Photorealistic 4K mods, and it looks perfect. The FreeSync makes the 60+ FPS seem smoother somehow. The stand is also amazing!

I bought this screen just for about 3 days. when using it, I left my desk for about 1 hour, and I had youtube playing during that duration. I came back to desk and close the window, and immediately I notice the dark areas of youtube have all been burned right in. is there a way to solve this??

I bought this monitor a few months ago and use it mostly for photo editing, working from home (IT Manager) and watching some videos. For the price the display is perfect. I hate going back to 1080p monitors at the office now. The stand is annoying on this one though and it looks like LG has released a new model that addresses this. Assuming they keep the same panel and just add a better stand it will become the perfect monitor for most people.

I bought this monitor back in December '16 to pair with a new PC. It is spectacular. Before I got this monitor i was happy with HD resolution. I didn't know what I was missing. Everything on this monitor is smooth, bright and brilliant. Using it really is like looking through a clean window at new worlds.

I bought this 4K Monitor from Bestbuy while on sale and WOW what an Incredible Monitor. I was using a 24" 1080P Monitor and the difference is night and day. Colors just pop off the screen and I play my PC Games in 2K (as my GPU Sapphire R9 290X) can't handle 4K at a reasonable FPS. 2K looks Fantastic as well. Doom, Dark Souls 3, Gears 4, Skyrim etc, etc are so much better to play when they look this good. I have my PC attached via Display Port and my PS4 and Wii U via the 2 HDMI ports. I am extremely pleased with this product and will look into the LG 32" HDR10 monitor when it comes out. I will also be purchasing the 65" LG B6 this summer.

My first 4K monitor and what an amazing difference it makes when viewing hi rez photos or videos. Only can give it 4 stars for average stand as other have said, but also for a power light that flashes non stop when the computer is off or on standby even with the light turnded off in setup. Tech supports says that's the way it's suppose to work! Only way to get the power light to stop flashing is to turn off the monitor manually.

Bought monitor about a month ago for photo editing. I was finding the standard 1920x1080 monitors to have insufficient pixel pitch for editing 36 Mpix images. I purchased this for the larger UHD pixel pitch and the fact that it is an ips display along with being able to calibrate to a full 100% sRGB scale (at least per the spyder 4 elite and some old school tweeking with the custom levels), allowing editing along with viewing to be accurate & true (since I don't do a lot of printing getting an adobe RGB monitor was not really needed plus the fact it was another $1k). Online reviews are correct in the respect that the base is quite floppy in that the monitor does bounce around if the desk is moved but I have no concerns the monitor is going to just fall, just seems flimsy. I'm going to purchase a new mount that attaches to the wall to free up the space under the monitor taken by the base design. No usb or speakers, I don't find either to be a hindrance or a deal breaker as none of the monitors I have ever owned had either.

I actually run 2 of these monitors side by side, excellent detail. The only issue is a slightly different hue to total white, and scaling some programs.

I am using this monitor for casual gaming, some photo editing and from my point of view the image is excellent in every scenario. Only four stars because the stand is cheap wobbling plastic, I had to buy a monitor arm to fix it properly.

I bought this during Cyber Monday deal from Best Buy. The monitor looks so much more crisp and sharp than my other 1080 monitor. I gave it 5 stars because the only complaint i have is the stand is a little wobbly. Other than that I'm more than happy with my purchase. Setup and install was easy, it comes with software that allows you to tweak settings you normally would with buttons.
