The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely. 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.

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 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.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. This panel is intended for those who require excellent images and precision, whether for working with media or photography or, in certain cases, even for gaming. However, as is typical of LG monitors, they did not cut corners and kept the IPS glow at a tolerable level. Brightness Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

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. 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 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.Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc. 110V Note that this monitor supports FreeSync technology, which will reduce the screen tearing during your gameplay sections. Also, this monitor has a 27-inch screen, which produces a high PPI value, making it nearly impossible to discern a pixel on the screen. This, paired with a pixel pitch of only 0.1554 x 0.1554, results in unprecedented heights of crispness.

The LG 27UP850-W is a fantastic 4K monitor for those who want a flexible and high-quality screen. Its IPS panel is capable of eye-popping color quality so it can be used for entertainment or professional purposes. We also liked the upgrades it received, starting with its powerful 96-watt USB-C port which can charge high-spec laptops without breaking a sweat. DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB. The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. The LG 27UP850-W has an acceptable pixel response time, but the 60Hz limitation is noticeable in some instances. Using the overdrive is essential, but we can only recommend its Fast level since the maximum will induce overshoot. Doing so will clean up the visible trailing and persistence, but it is still not comparable to a dedicated gaming variant.

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. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. 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. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.

The stand included with the LG 27UP850-W offers tilt, pivot, and height adjustments so you can get a good viewing angle. You can’t swivel it from side to side, but that’s only necessary if you plan on using this as a secondary display or if you have multiple monitors. You can use VESA mounts, but that’s unnecessary in most cases. Another upgrade we liked on the LG 27UP850-W is its speakers which now have 5 watts of power. They can get decently loud compared to other built-ins and they are capable of better clarity along with some semblance of bass. Headsets and desktop speakers will always sound better, but it is nice to have improved monitor speakers on the side. Display and PerformanceThe 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. 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.
