LG 27UD68-W 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync, Silver/White

Wow, this thing is wonderful. I purchased this after I had returned a Samsung curved monitor that arrived with splatters of dead pixels and I discovered that I did not enjoy the curved experience. I was worried this one might show up similarly damaged but NO, it was perfect! Zero dead pixels. It does include both an HDMI and a Displayport cable, which was awesome since other monitors usually come with one or the other. The cable management clip included is very welcomed. Putting the thing together was a breeze.I played a few rounds of Overwatch, did some roaming around in Subnautica and some bot matches of CSGO as a test and all performed admirably. I have a Vega 64 and it was able to deliver a butter smooth experience on High settings with free sync on and no overclocking. PC MASTER RACE gaming elitists will say you're better off with a high refresh rate 2k monitor at this size but I performed just fine with solid FPS across the games I tried and it looked superb doing so. My skills did not suffer at 60hz and your experience probably won't either. You're probably not chasing Top 500 spots in competitive shooters for a Mountain Dew sponsorship and professional gaming career. If you have a more modest graphics card, you may have a different experience so look out for that.The LG On-screen monitor control software is great! No more awkwardly fiddling around with a joystick to change monitor settings. Works for both Windows and Mac; you can find it on the included CD or download off the LG website with minimal searching if you don't have a CD drive. You can set it to automatically load a preferred profile based on your use; movie mode when opening a media player or photo mode when you open a graphic design program in both OS's so thats nice.I use this with macOS as well and it looks superb, definitely a rival for the LG 5k Apple display. Color is great and fine for intermediate design work and content creation but isn't 100% Adobe RGB so if thats you're cup of tea, might need to look elsewhere. I was perfectly happy after a couple of easy tweaks for my use.My only complaint is very small -- the included stand doesn't have a lot of tilt/height adjustments...but that's what VESA hardware is for. I was perfectly fine with it and would buy a VESA mount in the future if my needs change.TLDR: 10/10 product for mixed use gaming and content creation, would buy a second one.

I'm planning to get a new desktop computer and decided to get a new monitor as the first step. I've been using a 21" Acer 1080 x 1920 monitor at home (which this monitor will replace) and a HP DreamColor monitor at work. The difference in quality between this monitor and the ones I have been using is like night and day. In addition to having a beautiful 4K display, the user interface on this monitor is great. Instead of having an array of buttons it has a single combination joystick/button on the bottom turns the monitor on and off and allows you to navigate the menus and control the sound level. The menus are very well designed and intuitive and include several pre-programmed modes such as reading, photo, cinema, and several game modes. At first I used photo mode for everything but now I'm primarily using the reader mode. The reader mode has a reddish cast and looks relatively unattractive at first but I've found it to be easier on my eyes for day-to-day computer work. The DisplayPort input works great with my HP notebook which supports 4K video out over DP. The HDMI input works great with my Acer laptop but unfortunately that notebook only supports 1080 x 1920. The monitor looks great too. The display is surrounded by a very thin aluminum edge, with a small black section with an LG logo at the bottom. Overall a really great monitor.BTW, I bought an open-box monitor which was available via Prime for about $120 less than the best new offer. It looks like the monitor was returned because a screw was missing from the base which made it unstable. I bought a replacement M4 screw at Home Depot which completely fixed the problem. The DP cable was also missing but I wasn't too concerned about that considering how much I saved. I bought a new one from Amazon for about $10. Still more than $100 savings for an otherwise perfect monitor.
