About this deal

As for input lag, the Time Sleuth reported just 2.1ms of on display latency, and I’m happy to report that my new input lag testing mode for the response time tool reports a decent 7.5ms for the on display latency. The discrepancy there is down to the refresh rate taking so long. The key thing to see here though is that none of the results took more than a single frame to start rendering which is great news. The LG 27UP850-W is a fantastic 4K monitor for those who want a flexible and high-quality screen. Its IPS panel is capable of eye-popping color quality so it can be used for entertainment or professional purposes. We also liked the upgrades it received, starting with its powerful 96-watt USB-C port which can charge high-spec laptops without breaking a sweat. It is not a gigantic monitor, but the stand is quite big due to the aging ArcLine design on the stand and its base. It weighs in at around 13 pounds, so it’s fairly light enough to be carried around if you rearrange your setup often. It’s not portable, but you won’t need an extra set of hands while setting it up in your office or game room. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. images simulated to enhance feature understanding. It may differ from actual use. 10Comparison of Mode 'OFF' (left image) and AMD FreeSync™. One area I was surprised to find wasn’t quite as good was the panel uniformity. The lower right corner was considerably (although not visibly) dimmer than the brightest area in the centre. Like, 18% less light. The centre was at 408 nits, while the lower right was at just 335 nits! In fact, both the top and bottom edges were generally over 10% down from the centre. While I can’t say I noticed that in use, that’s less than ideal for sure. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches.

Speaking of their calibration software, it works with most colourimeters. It’ll work with the X-Rite ColorMunki, i1DISPLAY Pro, Pro Plus, Studio and i1Pro2 and i1Pro3, plus the Spyder5 and SypderX and even some higher end tools like the Klein K10A. I’ve got a SpyderX so I ran it with that, and the magic here is that the calibration profile is actually loaded onto the monitor as a picture mode, so unlike most displays where the calibration gets loaded into your video card to alter the image it outputs to then get accurate colours, this alters the monitor’s profile. Out of the box I measured a deltaE of just 2.5 which is just outside the target of under 2, with the darker shades being the most out of spec. Happily, after the calibration it’s practically perfect. It averaged just 0.74 deltaE, with no result exceeding the threshold of 2. Excellent.

There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another.

Another upgrade we liked on the LG 27UP850-W is its speakers which now have 5 watts of power. They can get decently loud compared to other built-ins and they are capable of better clarity along with some semblance of bass. Headsets and desktop speakers will always sound better, but it is nice to have improved monitor speakers on the side. Display and PerformanceThe LG 27UP850-W renders 100% sRGB and around 96% DCI-P3 for excellent vibrancy in SDR and HDR. Its default accuracy is great since the average is only at 1.89 so users won’t see color errors in any scenario. Calibrating the device isn’t necessary since it looks like LG had that covered from the factory. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR.

The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. The LG 27UP850-W has an acceptable pixel response time, but the 60Hz limitation is noticeable in some instances. Using the overdrive is essential, but we can only recommend its Fast level since the maximum will induce overshoot. Doing so will clean up the visible trailing and persistence, but it is still not comparable to a dedicated gaming variant. Added that the Dell Alienware AW2724DM supports HDMI Forum VRR, which this monitor doesn't support.Most of our complaints about it are minor, such as its USB slots which have always been limited to two. It’s also more expensive than other identical offerings, but you have to remember that the 27UK850 started at a higher price with lesser specifications. It’s a great buy, but try to find it with a discount to further sweeten the deal. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.
