Professional reviewers commend the LG 27UK850-W for its sharp 4K resolution, excellent 99% sRGB coverage, and the convenience of a single USB-C cable delivering video, data, and 60 W power. They also appreciate the ergonomic stand and HDR10/FreeSync features, but criticize the modest 350 nits brightness, lack of a wider DCI-P3 gamut, and the 8-bit + FRC panel that falls short of true 10-bit color depth, as well as its basic 60 Hz refresh rate for gaming.
Everyday users appreciate the monitor's color accuracy, USB-C docking convenience, and ergonomic adjustments for office and creative work, while repeatedly mentioning that the brightness feels low for HDR and that the refresh rate is not fast enough for demanding games.
Professional reviewers commend the 24G2 for its low input lag, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, which together deliver a highly responsive gaming experience. The IPS panel's color accuracy and 123 % sRGB coverage receive praise, as does the compact ergonomic stand that fits tight desk spaces. However, editors note the modest 1000:1 contrast ratio, lack of HDR, and average brightness as drawbacks for dark-room or content-creation work.
Everyday users highlight the smooth 144 Hz gameplay, vibrant IPS colors, and sturdy adjustable stand as the main strengths of the monitor. Recurring complaints focus on IPS glow, backlight bleeding, limited ports, stand wobble at full height, and the monitor's low brightness in bright environments.
“Smooth gaming (144 Hz + FreeSync reduces tearing)”
