It can handle gaming really well, and all its added ports, plus it power-transferring USB-C makes it a super compelling product for most MacBook users. I haven't noticed a big difference in the quality of the screen, the 27UK850-W looks as silky smooth to me as my MacBook Air, but if you're used to displays with higher PPI, or you do a lot of very serious photo-editing, it could be problematic or bothersome to you.Īs mentioned before, the LG 27UK850-W offers something for everyone, making it a fantastic monitor for most people. For example, when LG 27UK850-W has a 163 PPI while my MacBook Air has a PPi of approximately 227. Last negative to mention, and it may not bother you at all, but the pixel density isn't quite as good as most of Apple's Retina Displays. As elegant and clean as LG made the design of this monitor, this cheap, flimsy control stick seems like something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare. When it comes to adjusting the brightness, volume, powering off or adjusting any other settings on the LG 27UK850-W, you have to use this small, hidden, plastic joystick located underneath the screen, right by the LG logo on the bottom bezel.
The cheap and flimsy joystick used to access the monitor's settings is just plain awful. Of course, you can mitigate these issues by plugging in headphones to the included 3.5mm jack, or by setting up speakers with your Mac, but it is disappointing that I can't recommend using the speakers on LG 27UK850-W for any sort of audio at all. Obviously, you can't include giant tweeters with large diameters without compromising the design of the monitor, but the 5W speakers just don't sound good for the majority of listening activities, in fact, I turned off the speakers from my LG 27UK850-W and ran all the sound through the speakers on my MacBook Air because they sounded better. In a day where most people have some sort of external speakers running through their computer setup, is hard to be too mad at LG for including less than stellar speakers in the LG 27UK850-W, but it would have been nice to have speakers that didn't sound so flat and tinny. It looked the same as the built-in display on my MacBook Air, which once again, made the LG 27UK850-W just feel like a natural extension of my workspace. The color was spot-on and didn't require additional fine-tuning. The color calibration that LG puts into its displays are second to none, and right from the moment I hooked it up to my MacBook Air, I was blown away. While the spec sheet does say that the color gamut is sRGB 99% (typical), those numbers don't really put how great this display is when you first set it up. I was super impressed with the color performance of the LG 27UK850-W. The color, brightness, and sharpness of the display are absolutely gorgeous right out of the box. Plus the USB-C port supports 60W power transfer, meaning if you have a MacBook, MacBook Air, or a 13-inch MacBook Pro, the LG 27UK850-W will charge your laptop while you're using it, with no more than the USB-C cable provided in the box. With two USB-A ports and two HDMI ports, I never encounter an issue with having to connect something to my MacBook Air. If you're using any of Apple's newer MacBooks that have abandoned all ports except USB-C, you may have thought that USB-C hubs were your only saving grace, but the LG 27UK850-W has enough ports on it to get you through most situations. The aluminum base, with the thin black bezel display, really makes the LG 27UK850-W look and feel like a display built with the Apple aesthetic in mind. Plus, it just looks great sitting next to my MacBook Air. Yet, the display isn't so huge that it feels out of place or overkill in any way.

It's a spacious display that makes working on my MacBook Air feel like I'm working on a full blown desktop.
