LG 27UK850-W 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor with HDR10 with USB Type-C Connectivity and FreeSync, White

I got this monitor today and I have to say that it is really nice (also did a great job of adding to my setup). It worked without any problems, the HDR works well and the picture is fantastic on it. The only downside is that I have a little light bleed on the left side of the screen (picture included, nothing that would deter me from using it or cause me irritation I just thought it was worth mentioning (but I will update if it gets worse or other issues arise). Other than that no issues, not a dead pixel or anything else.! Update 1: The light bleed was gone the next day and I haven't seen it since. A little strange but I am not complaining.!! Update 2: The light bleed I had when I first go the monitor (you can see the picture included) is completely gone and I have not seen it after the 2nd day of use, so give it a couple days to make sure it doesn't just disappear.I got this monitor because I do a lot of 3d modeling and photoshop work. So far I have done some drawings in photoshop and not a single complaint. I will update my review as I use it more.! Update 1: I decided to give gaming a try with this monitor and while it is the first 4k monitor that I have owned. It was fantastic, I even got to use the HDR in THPS1 and it took the visuals to another level. But I will say if you find games with HDR capability, at least with the one I tested it took some fiddling with the settings to get it looking right.!! Update 2: The gaming performance is amazing, HDR gaming is spot on and the detail is generally unreal (I only used a 2k monitor for about 6 months before getting this and prior to that I was using 1080p. So leaps and bounds better. As for modeling with Maya, it works amazingly (a little laggy, I think doing all that work on much more pixels takes more work from my pc, but it isn't anything horrible. Just keep in mind to keep off any "effects" (ambient occlusion, motion blur, etc.) if you are animating to make sure that it plays smoothly, unless you have an epic system.Pros:- Great screen- HDR works well- Not a single dead picture- Beautiful 4k gaming and HDR support for games that offer it.-Beautiful for animating in Maya.-Beautiful for working on drawing in PhotoshopCons:- A small amount of light bleed off of the bezel ***Gone after a day or 2***Unknowns:- Color Accuracy (I am planning on trying color correcting in a couple months when I get a calibrator to get an idea of how close everything is.)

I was a bit on the fence about whether I should buy this monitor or a cheaper non USB-C monitor. Considering how much USB-C or Thunderbolt hubs cost plus the convenience, I think the slightly increased cost is worth it. This monitor is from 2018 so you can get better monitors these days but definitely not for under $500. This one was around $700 when it came out so the price is actually pretty solid at this point.What did I like?- Assembly: The monitor was ridiculously easy to put together and took 5 minutes or so. The monitor is also light enough that it's easy to move if needed.-Stand Design: I really like the design of the stand as it is thin enough to give you extra space for whatever you need on your desk. With some bulkier stands you might want to get monitor arms but I don't think you really need them with this (unless you need to move your monitor around).- Picture quality: I use my monitor mostly to write code, join video calls, and watch videos. Color and picture quality are great. I appreciate that the monitor is good for writing code in a dark theme and equally good for watching videos and browsing the Internet and reading e-books on a white background. I also have mine near a pretty sunny door and there is little to no glare which I was impressed by- Convenience: The single USB-C connection allows me to have a working mechanical keyboard, webcam, data transfer, and even laptop charging with a single thing plugged into my laptop. I was a little concerned about whether it would charge my Macbook Pro fast enough (less power than the normal charger) but I am pleasantly surprised to report that it's charged it/kept it charged fine and without any issues.-Adjustable: You can turn it into "portrait" mode and it's also pretty easy to adjust the height and angle.Is there anything wrong with this monitor?- For me, not really. Some people might say a 4K monitor is only worth it if it's 32 inches or more but I personally like the 27 inch size just mine.- How you adjust it could probably be a little more intuitive/user friendly and it doesn't swivel so if you want that, you can use a monitor arm- Similarly, the single joystick for settings can be a little confusing initially. It's also not super clear why some USB-C cables transmit video while others don't- I haven't gotten the sound to work yet so setting that up isn't as straightforward as the rest of it- The power cable for the monitor is pretty bulky and heavy. This makes sense considering that it charges the laptop at 60W (same as a Macbook Air charger) and keeps the monitor on.
