Excellent, Crystal Clear, world class in every way, Amazon Warehouse Open Box, LOVE IT!
Great news for the LG 27UL500-W 27-inch 4K UHD UltraFine Computer Monitor. I purchased mine as an open box from Amazon Warehouse, and I’m beyond impressed. The crystal-clear 4K resolution and vibrant colors make everything look stunning, whether I’m working or watching videos. I use it with Amazon’s Firestick which are the very best for streaming imho. Despite being an open box, the quality was excellent, no blemishes and the price was unbeatable for such an outstanding high-performing monitor. Seriously, a fantastic value for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, powerful display. If you find this on sale, do not hesitate.

Very good image for the price. No picture, gaming or video issues seen since setting up 5 days ago.
(Updated) For many years, I used a mismatched dual monitor set up that consisted of a 21â Acer and 22â 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 .25â 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 ï³ HDMI/DP or RGB ï³ 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, itâs 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).

Good for the price
I just got this today and it’s my first 4k monitor. It looks great, I primarily type all day and wanted nice clear text which it does well, as long as it lasts I’ll be very happy with it. I played a 4k YouTube video and it looked amazing but that’s not my use case. The one thing I would have preferred is a slight curve, at what I’d call a normal sitting distance the very left and right edges suffer from off axis fading. I primarily use the center section of the screen but if I cared about the edges it would bother me.

Nice looking, and IPS display for color fidelity
Chose this monitor for both its slim looks and for the fact that it has an IPS display at 4K. The color fidelity and decent brightness fit well with the purpose for which this monitor will be most used: general computing and, especially photo editing.Display controls are easy to use, although I have to admit that I am not a real fan of the single-button, joystick-like approach to built-in functions. Especially with the button mounted under the bottom front edge of the screen, at center, where it’s hard to even notice that it’s there. I expect it’ll be second nature after a while.Photo editing is easier due to the size of the monitor, its resolution, and the 98% of sRGB gamut of the IPS display. Definitely an improvement over many of the older, and even some of the current, display technologies.As for gaming, this is NOT the sort of monitor that serious gamers are likely to want. Although the specs aren’t terrible, the fact that the refresh rate is limited to only 60Hz means they’re unlikely to be satisfied with its performance which resulted in lower rating for that purpose.That said, you CAN game on it perfectly well, and save quite a bit of money compared to “gaming monitors” of this size, as long as you’re willing to live with the trade-off regarding refresh rates. Casual gamers are likely to appreciate the 4K resolution over 1080p HD, multiple built-in settings aimed at gaming, and support for FreeSync.Overall, I found the monitor to be easy to setup and use. It includes two HDMI ports, 1 Display Port and a headphone out jack. The white/silver color scheme is a nice change from the typical black, and coordinates nicely with those who might be building a new PC in a white color scheme.

Estaba buscando un monitor con adecuadas prestaciones, que fuera compatible con una MacBook Air con el nuevo chip M1. Actualmente lo utilizo conectado a la MacBook Air mediante un adaptador de HDMI, dando una excelente respuesta. Inicialmente, tenÃa sentimientos encontrados porque el panel me daba unos colores y saturación un poco alejado a lo que estaba acostumbrado a la pantalla del Mac; sin embargo, al hacer unas modificaciones en el monitor, en la configuración en la imagen y demás, he logrado obtener unos resultados óptimos y bastante agradables a la vista.A pesar de ser un panel IPS, sus colores negros son bastante buenos (y si ajustas la gama de colores es probable que encuentres el tono más agradable para ti).También lo he utilizado para jugar Nintendo Switch y se ve increÃble (y eso que el Nintendo Switch da por mucho 1080p) asà también con un PS4, y los juegos se ven bastante bien y fluido (ojo, si quisieras jugar más allá de 60Hz, es mejor que busques otras opciones, quizá no en 4K, pero sà a mayor cantidad de tasa de refresco).Pros:+ Monitor bonito y agradable a la vista.+ Buen panel y buena reproducción de colores (aunque tienes que ajustar un poco la ganancia y demás opciones).+ Buen rescatado en consolas y buena respuesta.+ Excelente precio.Contras:- Base no es ajustable, por lo que es probable que debas conseguirte un soporte VESA.- No tiene bocinas (pero, bueno… hoy en dÃa creo que la mayorÃa usamos bocinas externas).En términos generales, estoy muy pero muy satisfecho y feliz con mi compra.*** ACTUALIZACIÃN***Para mejores resultados con la MacBook Air es aconsejable utilizar un cable USB-C a Display Port, verás qué hay disminución de lag y todo irá más fluido. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

el proveedor indica error en la transcripción, lo de curvo se refiere a la peana, pero no se responsabiliza y no me facilita otro monitor curvo a precio parecido
