The screen is matte, unlike the iMac’s glossy screen, and it features an anti-glare coating. Sadly, you won’t find support for P3 wide color or Apple’s True Tone technology. This isn’t a problem for my light-sensitive eyes, but it could be a dealbreaker if you like your brightness cranked up. The screen can produce up to 350 nits of brightness, which is much less than the 500 nits that the Retina 5K iMac can emit.

The display features HDR10 support for the handful of Macs that support it, plus the Apple TV 4K and various videogame consoles. LG advertises 10-bit color, though a careful reading of the specs reveals that it’s actually an 8-bit display plus A-FRC, which approximates the other colors. By comparison, the 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display features 219 ppi, and the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display offers 218 ppi. The LG 27UK850-W features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840-by-2160 resolution, which I calculate to be about 163 ppi.

Even at full price, it’s $250 cheaper than the LG UltraFine 4K display and $850 less than the LG UltraFine 5K. Staring these cold, hard facts in the face, I decided to spend a bit more than I had hoped and buy the LG 27UK850-W, which usually sells for $450 but was on sale for $380.

When I focused on LG’s 27-inch screens, a couple of patterns emerged:

Sometimes resetting the monitor’s settings would dispel it temporarily, sometimes not, and I had grown tired of fighting it all day. I’ve been in the market for a new monitor because my Dell monitor had developed an intermittent shadow across the display. It’s challenging to find a reasonably priced display that fits the bill, especially since 5K monitors never took off (see “ What Happened to 5K Displays?,” 16 November 2018).ĭuring a recent Black Friday sale, Amazon reduced prices on LG monitors, which caught my attention because LG makes the panels Apple uses in iMacs. Unfortunately, there’s no way to press a Retina iMac into service as an external display-Target Display Mode works only with a small subset of pre-Retina iMacs. If you use a 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display like many of us here at TidBITS, it’s easy to be spoiled by its pristine image quality.

Some have only HDMI ports (that’s a TV, not a monitor), and HDMI is chock full of gotchas: you could buy a 1440p monitor and, thanks to weird HDMI limitations, be stuck at a blurry 1080p resolution. Many displays still feature hoary VGA ports that first appeared in 1987. Even if you find a sharp enough monitor, you may have trouble connecting it to your Mac.

The market is full of 27-inch and larger screens that support only 1080p resolution and a pixel density of around 100 pixels per inch, about half of any Retina display you’re used to. Alas, those monitors are costly and, in my opinion, underwhelming apart from their pixel density.īuying a monitor is like navigating a minefield. Instead, Apple endorses the $700 24-inch LG UltraFine 4K Display and the $1300 27-inch LG UltraFine 5K Display by virtue of selling them-and them alone-in the online Apple store.
