UHD 4K Display (27UL600-W) Product Review: LG 27″ UHD 4K Display (27UL600-W)

The screen sits on a silver-coloured metal stand that is height and tilt adjustable, as well as being rotatable if you want to use the monitor as a portrait display instead of landscape. The Apple version connects via Thunderbolt 3, provides more ports on the back, and is fully controlled through software, rather than the combination of the Display preference panel and the control switch on the monitor.For those who are worried about aesthetics, you can mount this sleek, smart screen on your wall without it being too much of an eye-sore and it has thin bezels on three sizes with a super discreet joystick for controlling the various inputs and settings. Switching between the inputs and controlling the monitor’s settings and features is all done via a small joystick fitted to the underneath of the screen bezel. The only disadvantages to this monitor is that it connects via HDMI, which requires a converter cable for all iMacs, and all adjustments are made using a multi-purpose toggle switch at the bottom center of the bezel. The stand uses a wide arched foot that provides enough desk space immediately in front of the monitor to accommodate your keyboard when not in use, or make space for other desk items.

It can also upscale regular SDR (standard dynamic range) content into HDR, using an algorithm to improve tone mapping and luminance. In addition to changing settings using the on-screen monitor controls – which can’t be screen captured, or I would show them to you – you can also adjust and calibrate the monitor using System Preferences > Display > Color. The default settings at power on are pretty near perfect, I just turned the brightness down a bit because my editing suite is pretty dim.It also has a refresh rate of 60Hz via all of its inputs, offers HDR 10, and is compliant with the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard. My guess is that your MBP doesn’t have a GPU which supports HDR playback, or that the HDMI version is insufficient.
