LG 27UN850 UltraFine 27" 4K Monitor (2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
LG 27UN850 UltraFine is the full-featured 27-inch 4K monitor in LG's 2020 ("N") model year. It features a 10-bit IPS panel that refreshes at 75Hz (or lower, with FreeSync) and covers 99% of the sRGB color space. There is an integrated USB-C hub, and the monitor stand has not only tilt and height adjustability but also the ability to pivot.
In fact, the 27UN850 may be the preferred option for general computing, given its many aforementioned advantages. The owner can also rest assured that s/he has not paid extra for bells and whistles that are not essential.
Still, the built-in USB-C hub is not just for show. It delivers up to 60W via USB-C (in DP Alt Mode). LG has included text- and gaming- oriented features, too.
Those who wish to get an ergonomic stand with their monitor purchase can go for the 27UN880. That way, there is less waste (in the form of an unused monitor stand) for the environment.
