About this deal

Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Based on our analysis, the LG 27" 27UN850-W monitor has a 99% SRGB color gamut, which we found was good for gaming. Speaking of their calibration software, it works with most colourimeters. It’ll work with the X-Rite ColorMunki, i1DISPLAY Pro, Pro Plus, Studio and i1Pro2 and i1Pro3, plus the Spyder5 and SypderX and even some higher end tools like the Klein K10A. I’ve got a SpyderX so I ran it with that, and the magic here is that the calibration profile is actually loaded onto the monitor as a picture mode, so unlike most displays where the calibration gets loaded into your video card to alter the image it outputs to then get accurate colours, this alters the monitor’s profile. Out of the box I measured a deltaE of just 2.5 which is just outside the target of under 2, with the darker shades being the most out of spec. Happily, after the calibration it’s practically perfect. It averaged just 0.74 deltaE, with no result exceeding the threshold of 2. Excellent. Given the image quality features of this display, we can assume that LG had to focus on a monitor for professionals, and good gaming features for this sort of monitor are difficult to come by.

When it comes to bearable levels, the LG 27UP850-W monitor’s overall brightness is another high-end attribute that matches the monitor’s price. It is not a gigantic monitor, but the stand is quite big due to the aging ArcLine design on the stand and its base. It weighs in at around 13 pounds, so it’s fairly light enough to be carried around if you rearrange your setup often. It’s not portable, but you won’t need an extra set of hands while setting it up in your office or game room. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe.Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. So, without further ado, let’s have a look at the LG 27UP850-W review to see if this is a great LG release or a dud. Design The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. Are you undecided when it comes to which one to get? You think TVs might be better? While most TVs have smart features where they let you to run YouTube or Netflix apps to leisurely view it from your couch with a remote in your hand, to do the same with the latter, you would need to connect it to a gaming console, a media player or a PC with a decent graphics card. LG 27UP850: Final Thoughts One area I was surprised to find wasn’t quite as good was the panel uniformity. The lower right corner was considerably (although not visibly) dimmer than the brightest area in the centre. Like, 18% less light. The centre was at 408 nits, while the lower right was at just 335 nits! In fact, both the top and bottom edges were generally over 10% down from the centre. While I can’t say I noticed that in use, that’s less than ideal for sure.

nits is an excellent safe zone to be in if you require the most brightness possible, as well as good color precision. However, if you spend a lot of time in front of the screen, it’s not a good idea to use it at full brightness because it could harm your eyes.Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. The anti-glare layer managed reflections well with no grain or distortion. The image was bright and sharp with excellent color saturation. Our sample had no signs of bleed or glow around the edges. That’s why, even in 2021, 4K monitors will have a 60hz refresh rate. On the other hand, If you want to play casual games and have a powerful graphics card, you’ll be able to experience new levels of sharpness with this resolution.

The resolution is another critical aspect of a gaming monitor. The resolution is measured in pixels; the more pixels a monitor has, the sharper the image will be. A higher resolution results in a clearer and more detailed picture. Based on our analysis, the LG 27" 27UN850-W and LG 27" 27UP850-W monitors both have a refresh rate of 5 ms, which we found was good for gaming. You can also expect beautiful and realistic colors from this display, which supports 1.07 billion colors, and the DCI-P3 95 percent (CIE1976) color space, which is slightly more vibrant than the sRGB 99 percent average.Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. However, if you need a good HDR experience, the HDR 400 isn’t the best option; instead, I recommend spending a little extra and getting at least the HDR 600, such as the LG 32UL750-W. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. Fortunately, they chose the IPS, which provides excellent image quality as well as color accuracy, making it the finest of the three in this regard.

The LG 27UP850-W renders 100% sRGB and around 96% DCI-P3 for excellent vibrancy in SDR and HDR. Its default accuracy is great since the average is only at 1.89 so users won’t see color errors in any scenario. Calibrating the device isn’t necessary since it looks like LG had that covered from the factory. The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting.Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width Aside from that, an IPS panel is a must-have for monitors in this price range, or even a high-quality VA, to be considered as a professional display.
