A charged model from the top strata of the multimedia monitor society, which will pleasantly surprise you with its high image quality. The basis of the LG 27UL650 is a bright and juicy 4K IPS-matrix (3840x2160 pixels) with a diagonal dimension of 27". It claims 99% coverage of the "triangle" of the sRGB colour space, a response time of 5 ms (according to the GtG method), as well as support for the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard.
Guarding the smoothness of the image and eliminating gaps due to inconsistency of signals on the monitor screen and the output of the video adapter The PC is equipped with AMD FreeSync technology. The monitor is equipped with DisplayPort and HDMI connection interfaces (2 pcs), a mini-Jack output (3.5 mm) for headphones and a functional ArcLine stand with the ability to adjust the display position in height and tilt. In case of a desire to place the monitor on the wall, mounting holes for a VESA bracket of size 100x100 mm have been made in the “fillet” part of the device case.

Masterpiece from LG. Having bought it, I saw how beautiful the world is. Pixels are not visible at all. The richness of colors and saturation of tones, midtones and shades. Illumination uniformity. Convenient and reliable metal leg does not take up much space on the table. However, for everything to work correctly, you need to buy a video card from the latest with a display port and support for the HDMI 2 protocol. Reliable construction. Beautiful saturated colors. haven't found it yet. Виталич: use LG UltraFine 27UL650 less than month |
Picture in 4K
In 2018, LG launched an interesting 27UK850-W monitor on the market, which stood out with support for the DisplayHDR 400 standard, a pair of speakers and a USB-C port for image transfer. Much of this was not necessary for the average designer (for example, USB-C to connect to a MacBook), so six months later, the Koreans released a “lightweight” version of this monitor in terms of price and characteristics — LG 27UL650.
4K + HDR
The monitor is equipped with a 27-inch IPS-matrix of its own production with a resolution of 4K (3840x2160 pixels). It is pseudo 10-bit with a base frequency of 60 Hz. It claims 99% coverage of the "triangle" of the sRGB colour space, a response time of 5 ms (according to the GtG method), as well as support for the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard. W-LED backlighting does without PWM throughout the entire operating range of brightness, which is great. In general, the matrix here is the same as the 27UK850-W, and the factory calibration is even better, so it is perfect for professional colour work, especially after a full calibration or at least profiling.
Versatility will not be superfluous
In general, the LG 27UL650 looks more like a general-purpose monitor than a highly specialized monitor for designers. The built-in HDR image conversion algorithm and additional gaming features like AMD FreeSync and black stabilizer will come in handy for gamers. There would still be a higher frame rate and there would be a full-fledged gaming monitor. Regarding ergonomics, the stand allows you to adjust not only the angle of inclination, but also the height. It can also be rotated to portrait mode, which will surely appeal to designers. If we return to the comparison with the older model 27UK850-W, we will see several omissions. The main thing is that HDR and FreeSync cannot work together — for this the monitor would need FreeSync 2 technology, but it is reserved for gaming displays with a completely different price.
I bought it for photo processing to replace my old 21.5 "Dell UltraSharp U2212HM 2013. I immediately noticed a greater coverage of the sRGB range. I began to see color shades in the photos that the old monitor did not reproduce. Visually, the image on the monitor very closely corresponds to the picture displayed on calibrated Mac monitors if you put them side by side for comparison, which I did...
In a word, the monitor is satisfied.
