Description

The LG 27UD88 lets you make serious work of photo and video editing and you can game in 4K. This monitor covers 99% of the sRGB color space, which lets it display colors more realistically. Small adjustments can be made in the color calibration program. Do you have a computer equipped with USB-C? If so, you can stream 4K video and data through a single port, and charge other devices. This monitor isn't only suitable for graphic design, but also for playing games. FreeSync technology lets this monitor 'communicate' with your AMD video card, so tearing and stuttering are no longer an issue.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Fulfills all expectations.

Incredibly sleek display
Works perfectly with MacBook Pro 13 inch
USB-C
no

I use this display for my Macbook Pro 13 inch, the screen is very sleek and when you use the scaled display that is equal to the resolution of a 27 inch iMac then there is no reason to buy an iMac next to you with this display MacBook.

In addition, the screen contains a multitude of connections and it is very easy to switch between the two.

It is a pricey screen, but the moment you connect your computer or laptop to it, you forget that.

An absolute must!

Review is 8,7 out of 10.

Insanely beautiful screen.

a lot of pixels
well adjustable in height (also for the taller guys among us)
tiltable screen
black border in the screen itself (± 5 mm), so product photo is misleading

Beautiful screen. Click and play on my Macbook Air. So the screen really works like I'm used to with all my other Apple products.

The screen is solidly made, flat, and neatly finished. Better than I expected from LG.

Many cables are included. Do you have a computer with USB-C? Great, then the cable is included.

If you (like me) have a slightly older Macbook (Air), pay attention. If you connect your cable with an (official Apple) HDMI to mini-displayport adapter, you only get a quarter of the resolution of the screen. (Full HD) Letters and images then become large and look clunky.

Do you have a slightly older Macbook Air (I have one from 2013), or another comparable computer with mini-displayport? Then you need a Displayport to mini-displayport 1.2 version (important!) to achieve the Ultra HD resolution. That is this cable: http://www.monitorstore.nl/product/711020/startech-mini-displayport-naar-displayport-1-2-kabel-2-meter.html

Another small thing: older laptops, like mine, don't reach the Ultra HD resolution yet, because the chip in the computer can't generate that many pixels. The only option is to buy a newer computer. The cable does provide a resolution between Full HD and Ultra HD.

Despite the fact that I am not yet reaching the maximum 4K Ultra HD resolution, this screen looks really insane. Photos jump off your screen and if you are close to your screen you almost get dizzy watching videos. Really recommended!!

Top combination with retina MacBook

sharp text
nice colours
nice design
white back

After a disappointing experience with the Samsung LS24H850QFUXEN (see review there), I am very satisfied with this LG monitor. The colors match well with those of my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2015) and the text display is sharp. The difference between this 4k monitor and the retina display of my laptop is small, making this a perfect match.

The integration with macOS is also good. As with the build-in display, you have the option to scale the text on the LG from Larger text to More Space in four steps. That way you can set the text size perfectly to your liking, depending on the viewing distance. The text remains beautiful, even on the More Space stand. So if you have good eyesight, you can use a lot of space! Tip: check in the user manual whether your PC/Mac meets the Graphic Card Requirements to fully enjoy this monitor.
