  • Bought this on sale on Prime Day, because I really wanted an external monitor for my 12" Retina Macbook (2017) that would give me crisp, clean text
  • One thing I love about the Retina display is that text and photos look like high resolution print: incredibly smooth with no noticeable pixelation at a standard viewing distance of > 1 foot
  • As a software developer, I really like the high resolution text, but I'm not too worried about the color accuracy
  • One thing I love about the Retina display is that text and photos look like high resolution print: incredibly smooth with no noticeable pixelation at a standard viewing distance of > 1 foot
  • This makes things look blurry, but otherwise text is not really readable

Reviews around value (4.72 of 5)

  • At <$300, this monitor is a great value and the least expensive 4K IPS option from the major brands
  • Three months later, I think the current $380 price is a good value.
  • Great value and look forward to having this monitor for a long time.
  • I think this product has great value for what it offers
  • Pleased about that!Based on specs, I don't see that more expensive 27" monitors deliver value commensurate with their higher prices.

Reviews around work (4.68 of 5)

  • I like the small size because I use it for video editing, as well, so the resolution crammed into the tiny 24" works good when doing any graphic design work, and just makes everything look crisp and clear, even if it's a 1080 source upscaling to 4k
  • Cable (Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible) in Black - 6 Feet, and it works perfectly at 4K with
  • There can be some lagging at the highest setting, but that's because despite supporting 4K, my graphics card in the Mac is still not able to fully support 4K as Apple claims
  • Just got it today, plugged right into my Intel NUC Skylake and worked perfect
  • I own an IT company and purchased this monitor just to test it beside my more expensive 4K displays

Reviews around picture (4.49 of 5)

  • Great monitor, great picture, love the different modes for different types of gaming, would recommend
  • The picture exaggerates the problem, but it's easily visible in dark settings
  • This is a great monitor, the picture and IPS display is gorgeous
  • The monitor works great, and the picture is nice, but it isn't smart enough to switch to an active input source on its own
  • it is nice but controls for picture are limited and picture quality is not exceptional

Reviews around price (4.43 of 5)

  • It does everything that I need it to do and the price was just unbeatable.
  • so it's not too big or small, and it's got a great price point compared to other 4k monitors.
  • It does what it says it does and the pricing is aggressive
  • I use it with my MacBook, Great quality, price and performance.
  • It is a great monitor for a great price, without all the bells and whistles that make other 27" IPS panels so much more expensive.

Reviews around size (4.38 of 5)

  • However, I am glad I didn't go with a 28+" monitor because the size of this one is perfect and I have no troubles reading text on the screen from a normal viewing distance
  • As far as this particular monitor, it's just the right size for my personal desk space
  • — about 4" wider than a full-sized keyboard — and a perfect size to get retina resolution at
  • So if the 24" is the better size for you, then go with that
  • It's the perfect size for a standing desk, and looks great with both Mac & PC.

Reviews around resolution (4.22 of 5)

  • I rather have the 4K ISP over the 1080P TN due to the rich vibrant colors and resolution upgrade of this monitor
  • The resolution on this is really amazing (which I expected from a 4K)
  • Poor quality on inferior resolutions, when i'm playing demanding games and wanna get better fps, i downgrade resolution, but this monitor have terrible aspect on lower resolution than 4k.
  • It does support the maximum "scaled" resolution (4K) that my MacBook supports, however I cannot read anything that small on a 24 inch monitor,
  • Excellent monitor and resolution in a reasonably-sized monitor.

Reviews around design (4.08 of 5)

  • The base has a sleek design that is sturdy and supportive
  • The design is great, and colors are vibrant and accurate enough to do graphic design and editing
  • Was really excited for this monitor but unfortunately it has significant backlight bleed (see attached pictures), and a very noticeable dead black pixel (s)
  • NOT HDMI)- Well designed on screen menu, I like the single button and joystick in one for choosing, navigating the menu, rather than most monitors that have 6+ buttons on them.- Fast enough response times for gaming unless you're some hard-core competitive gamer that can only exist with a 1ms response display
  • The screen size is great, the design felt good, and the aesthetic look is a nice touch

Reviews around screen (3.01 of 5)

  • Amazing quality, I was kind of skeptical getting such a small screen when upgrading to 4k worrying I wouldn't see the advantages
  • Great screen, but my eyes are sensitive and have a history of computer monitors bothering them.
  • When the screen is not flickering and strobing, the picture quality is good.
  • Besides all these, the screen will still fail to work occasionally with Macbook
  • I cracked the screen on my 4K laptop and it has not been repairable

Reviews around signal (2.02 of 5)

  • I like LG as a
  • At 1440p differences are barely perceptible, and at 1800p it looks almost as good as 4K but renders 31% fewer pixels, making it a good compromise of performance and eye-candy

Reviews around input lag (1.80 of 5)

  • At 1440p differences are barely perceptible, and at 1800p it looks almost as good as 4K but renders 31% fewer pixels, making it a good compromise of performance and eye-candy
  • Of course, NO monitors on the market have HDR, so if your looking for a monitor with better input lag, be prepared to pay two or three times as much.
  • it!I use this for gaming primarily and the input lag was so bad that all games were unplayable
  • The main thing I was worried about was the input lag on this monitor since that was the problem on my 55 inch 4k Samsung when I tried gaming
  • I've been using this for both single player and online games, including a number of online FPS games, and the response time and input lag appear to be excellent in general

Reviews around bleed (1.65 of 5)

  • Pros:- Cheap for a 27" 4K display in 2017.- Backlight bleed isn't that bad for the most part
  • The only issue I have with mine is a slight backlight bleed on the bottom of the screen right in the middle
  • That being said there is a pretty significant backlight bleed problem, which makes watching movies with dark scenes kind of annoying
  • Mine does not have any bad backlight bleed or any problems at all.
  • Black and white test images show no dead pixels and very little bleed

  • Mine does not have any bad backlight bleed or any problems at all.
  • No problems setting up, and the desktop settings control makes any adjustments a breeze.

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • The settings are easy to navigate, it does take bit of messing around to get the perfect picture, but other than that, no real complaints
  • A bit annoying (it's white on black so quite visible), but you rarely look directly at the edge of a monitor anyway.2
  • I was a bit hesitant to buy this one because of the lack of reviews around the web
  • Response time is a bit difficult to track down, but I've seen it listed as 5 ms, which is more than enough for PC gaming
  • Turning it off is a bit tricky--push the button in then pull forward, or just hold the button in.
