  • Very good image for the price. No picture, gaming or video issues seen since setting up 5 days ago.
Style: 27UL500-W
(Updated) For many years, I used a mismatched dual monitor set up that consisted of a 21” Acer and 22” Samsung models from around 2015. Even though this was adequate for a lot of basic things, it always drove me a little nuts they were of different sizes. Also the color calibrating on both models was a pain that never quite worked and the same videos/images were noticeably different hues depending on which monitor they were displayed on. Basically, it was time to get a dual monitor replacement set of the same brand and model. I also wanted something that was 4k capable, in the 25" to 29" size range, and of course something that would not break my budget. After spending a few months reading reviews of various models, I found that the LG 27UL500-W 27-Inch best matched my wants and needs. On Prime Day, Amazon discounted the price further, so I placed an order for a set ($279 ea). Setup: Very easy. To conserve desk space, I purchased a WALI Dual LCD Monitor Fully Adjustable Desk Mount Stand that had two arms. I had no issues attaching the monitors to the desk mount and running cables from the monitor to PC/outlets. Fit and Finish: I have not seen any bezel issues where they were pealing apart. They are not the thinnest and are about .25” around the top/sides. The bottom is wider. Since I use a desk mount stand, I have no comment about the stands that came with the monitors (they are still bagged). I like that LG put a toggle for the screen controls instead of a row of buttons. Picture: The picture quality so far is very good. I have not seen the light bleed a lot of commentators have noted. Ports: The LG 27UL500-W 27-inch has 1 display port (v1.2) and 2 HDMI ports (v2.0). No DVI or RGB15 ports. I assumed I that I could use DVI  HDMI/DP or RGB  HDMI/DP adapters. Neither RGB (which I expected) nor DVI adapters (which I did NOT expect) work with these monitors. So those that have older PCs/Laptops/KVM switches may be out of luck if the equipment does not support a DisplayPort or HDMI video connector (on my initial review, I deducted a star for this). So, my 4-port RGB KVM switch will not work (this was expected, and I am had my eye on a replacement 4-port HDMI KVM switch that supports dual monitor). For the PCs, it’s a matter of finding cheap replacement video cards that are PCIe x16 with 2x DisplayPort or 2x HDMI ports (but cheap ones do not seem common) and enough VRAM to drive this monitor (from what I read 1 GB should be more than adequate for 1080p since I do not plan to use these PCs for high end gaming). I did find that a passive HDMI to DisplayPort works so integrating a new HDMI KVM switch should not be an issue. Overall, I have been pleased with my LG 27UL500-W 27-Inch purchases. I also have a plan to work out my KVM/Cable/Monitors. If all goes well, I will likely raise my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Update 05/05/2020: I am raising my rating by a star - No image, video or audio channel issues have occurred with either monitor since I purchased them July 2019. These monitors are in near daily use, are powered on/off often and subject to resolution changes a few times a month. The audio channel is constantly used through one of the monitors for steaming video from a ROKU that is connected to one of the monitors. I fully integrated these two monitors to use with a 4 dual port HDMI KVM switch. My only disappointment was that an old ROKU SE did not work with the monitors via the HDMI port. This was most likely due to the ROKU SE inability to support 4K. Using a ChromeCast and a ROKU streaming stick had no issues with either LG monitors). (Update 09/09/2025): These monitors have been absolutely fantastic. I’d give them 6 out of 5 stars for durability and longevity. Several years ago, I accidentally oversprayed one with a monitor cleaning solution, and the fluid seeped behind the screen. I thought it was a goner, but within a month the fluid dried out and the picture quality returned to its original state. This pair has also gone through several computers as I upgraded and replaced systems, yet they’ve performed flawlessly every time. This LG model is no longer sold new, except through used listings on auction sites, which is unfortunate. When they finally give out, LG will be my first choice again without hesitation. (Update 03/29/2026): It finally happenned... One of my LG 27UP650K‑W monitors has finally developed a failing LED backlight, resulting in uneven brightness across the screen. Power cycling no longer helps. A DIY repair is technically possible, but it’s a delicate process that requires full disassembly, removing the fragile LCD layers, and replacing either the LED strips or the power board. Professional repair would cost more than the monitor is worth, especially since this model is once again available on Amazon at a much lower price than typical repair fees. Given how heavily and frequently both of my units have been used, it felt like the right time to replace the set. That said, I’ve been genuinely impressed with how long these LG monitors have lasted. When choosing replacements, I did some research and ultimately went with two models: the LG 27UP650K‑W 27‑inch Ultrafine 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) and the LG 27UP850K‑W 27‑inch Ultrafine 4K UHD (3840 × 2160). The main difference aside from price, is that the 27UP850K‑W offers significantly better built‑in audio, and I only need enhanced audio on one of the monitors. This will likely be the last update I do for this review. If you liked and found useful what I wrote, feel free to mark this as helpful and check out my other reviews. Thank you. ... show more

  • Value 4k monitor buy it
Style: 27UL500-W
Kind of crazy that value and 4k monitor are in the same subject line but for $300 it's kind of nuts that you can get this kind of quality out of a panel. I'm not sure how long it will last but it blew me away when I first turned it on and played a few video games on it. playing video games turn the sharpness all the way up. I've had quite a few monitors most of them IPS and none of them quite pop with color the way this does. There's a bit of glow and bleed but there is an every IPS panel so far it's actually less than most I have had. I'm really impressed with the picture quality it actually looks better than my 4K TV. I also had to reduce the brightness from 60 or 70% down to about 30. I don't know about the HDR part of it I did enable HDR and it does look a bit better but I'm not sure if it's true HDR but at this price it really didn't matter to me. I have a TN on 144 Hertz g-sync monitor that's 27 in and I have this right next to it and you can totally tell the difference in color. I wouldn't recommend this monitor for shooters but for pretty much any other scenery based game it's perfect.I have been running in g-sync compatibility mode as well on the monitor and have not noticed any stuttering or glitches or artifacting in the six or seven games I tested with a GTX 1080 TI on display port. TL DR great monitor for the money I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Fyi the monitor ul500 to the highest level monitor on Amazon as of this review are the same panel, I am pretty sure just differences in features. At most the panels are probably binned for the higher priced products similar to how manufacturers like Intel and AMD sell CPUs. ... show more

  • Not as easy as plug it in and bask in its full glory but very satisfying anyway.
Style: 27UL500-W
I didn't rate this for gaming because I don't have a video card to drive a 4K monitor at a good speed yet, but for everything else, it looks brilliant for the money. I'm a working stiff these days, so I don't have the free time I'd like to have to play around and get everything set up just so, and I found that there are little hurdles and speed bumps along the way with these newer displays if you want to actually USE all of the fancy marketing buzzwords like HDR or Freesync or G-Sync or high frame rates or FALD (full array local dimming). I haven't gotten those all figured out just yet and the documentation and user interface aren't quite intuitive if you've never had to set those up and get them actually enabled and working correctly in real life before. They're not just "plug it in and bask in the full glory" easy yet-- you have to make sure you have the right combinations of hardware, cables, drivers, and settings between all the devices and peripherals to take full advantage of those newer features. But 4K crystal clear beautiful brilliance does pretty much work right out of the box, and at this price, even just that is worth having. It takes very little adjusting to get very realistic colors compared to my old calibrated Dell setup. I didn't even have to delve into the color calibration tool in Windows to get it fairly close to what I prefer in my lighting environment and get my pictures to look almost exactly like they looked in real life when I originally took the pictures. I don't even feel bad quite yet about not pulling out a hardware calibration tool. So while I haven't put together all of those pieces in a way that lets me enjoy all the features and functionality of this monitor yet, I am already satisfied with my purchase even if I never take the time to make it all work at peak performance. This is a pretty darn good buy. I've even considered picking up another one or two to replace my old 1080P monitor and at least one of my work monitors at the office because of the price to performance ratio. The only reason I haven't is because I may get my work to buy one or two for me for that, and at home I'm planning to buy one of the top of the line 4K G-Sync quantum dot monitors as my main/gaming monitor once I've upgraded my rig to push 4K really well, and it seems silly to me to buy a perfectly good monitor to only use for a few months. These are too good to waste and I don't have room on my desk for a triple monitor setup, unfortunately, or it'd be a no-brainer. ... show more

  • Huge Upgrade to my Editing
Style: 27UL500-W
I bought this monitor to replace an older HP IPS model that I never really could get dialed in on the color. I edit on a MacBook Pro and the colors between the MacBook and the old monitor were always pretty far off. Had lots of problems with reds on the old monitor being over saturated. I saw the reviews on this and thought it would be worth a try. So far, I'm loving it. The colors right out of the box are much closer to my Mac and the clarity is amazing. The old monitor was 1920 x 1440. I'm running this monitor in 3840 x 2160/60Hz and for photoshop and Lightroom, it's just flat out awesome right out of the box. Skin tones are much more representative of actual tones. PROS: Clear Picture, Good Color, Good Brightness. CONS: I don't like the menu system, the joystick controller, and the "beeps" are super annoying. The sounds the monitor makes are very much like an old school Colleco video game. When it powers down it's painful. ** UPDATE ** NOVEMBER 8, 2023 - After using this quite heavily for a while, and calibrating it with a Spyder, I've noted that things have changed a bit. No longer matching my Macbook display a much as I'd like. I've spent a lot of time trying to dial in the hues for skin tone to look good across a variety of apple devices, and I was struggling. Last week grabbed an Apple Studio Display and that was the final nail in the coffin for this display. I think as a stand alone display, for gaming or other work, this is a great display. The resolution is nice and it looks pretty good. But when you're doing photo/video work, and you need consistency across your displays, this wasn't what I needed (and I realize that most people won't use it for professional photo editing, so keep that in mind as well). Still a worthy buy at the price. OH!!! And I'm not sure if there was an update to the firmware or what, but the annoying beeps are gone. It now makes a much nicer sound when turning off and on. Good job LG!!! ... show more

  • Great Value
Style: 27UL500-W
It’s nice to get UHD affordably. The 500 model differs from the 550 only in that the stand is more limited. No problem if you use VESA plus you save a few bucks. I’m a music-centric content creator who is getting back into gaming. My RTX 2060 locks in with freesync at 60fps. Obviously that’s all you get with this monitor. Turn it off for higher FPS but more blur. Immediately impressed with the sharpness at about 21” viewing distance where 27” UHD is effectively retina. Expect finessing with Windows 10. I scaled to 200% and downloaded the driver from LG’s site and everything seems as good as my old Dell U2415 except sharper, brighter and better contrast ratio. Haven’t done a full calibration because I don’t have the hardware yet. EDIT: Got the XRite iDisplay Pro Plus and it’s worth it. Monitor looks great. Also I’m not using HDR because it wasn’t immediately clear how to best use it. If you enable HDR in Windows, the monitor recognizes it but it doesn’t seem like the best default mode. Like I said, best result is with the LG icc included with the driver. Obviously this isn’t a 144Hz reference color grading monster. However, I will tell you that my eyes no longer get all blurry and tired after a long day of moving GUI sliders. I find the colors perfectly acceptable. I put 5 stars because it deserves more than 4. Like I said, scale your expectations when comparing it to a $1500 display. One reviewer in particular put me off from this monitor initially. He was comparing it to the previous years 27UK. Ignore that. If you desire crisp resolution and think 24” is too small, do yourself a solid and buy this. ... show more

Style: 27UL500-W
It's perfect for me - CAD and general computer use. I was thinking I wanted something brighter, but just realized I've had it at 60% brightness for who knows how long. Cranked it up to 100. Not as bright as my ipad, but close! I'm buying a few more today.

  • Outstanding for business use
Style: 27UL500-W
I needed to replace my 11-year old LG 20-inch work monitor, which died a very sudden but painless death - one loudish click and adios. I wanted to go with a larger monitor to make manipulation of multiple documents easier, but needed one with exceptional clarity because of my poor eyesight. This is also why I picked 27-inch instead of 32-inch. I tried a 1080p HD 27-inch monitor, but text even at 1980 x 1080 resolution was still blurry to me. My relatively new Dell laptop is able to go to 3840 x 2160 resolution on the LG monitor and text at that resolution is knife sharp even when I scale documents up or down. If you're going to connect an older computer, make sure its actually able to take advantage of 4K. The joy stick on the bottom of the monitor for the on-screen monitor controls is funky, but works OK once you get the hang of it. A 100 x 100 VESA wall mount plate is an exact fit, but don't try to use a larger multi-size VESA plate - it will block the monitor's HDMI and DisplayPort connections. The fixed height stand that came with the monitor works just fine - nice and sturdy - I can't justify the extra $80+ for the adjustable stand. If you can't use a wall mount, a couple of old text books work great for height adjustment. Don't know how this monitor will do for action gaming, but my 2005 vintage Hoyle Card Game images look better than ever. I noted that most of the 1-star ratings for this monitor were regarding LG's customer service, so I opted for the 4-year Square Trade warranty just in case. ... show more
