Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (2160p/4K UHD 1 - Ultra High Definition)
UI Looks like: 1920 x 1080 @ 60.00Hz
It is silent just like the Macmini. Still quick and snappy. My windows machine has W11 and attach it via HDMI. The joystick control on the LG makes it easy to select what input to display and I had to play with that because it defaulted to some high resolution with 30hz! Everything was really choppy, got it set to a lower resolution at 60hz. This screen will go to sleep with the Mac, and wakes up fast no issue. The included speakers are set with Maxx sound on-which is an attempt to make them sound better-and they do get quite loud, but they are small monitor speakers, and would only be good for voice. At low volume levels music would probably be ok, but I am not using them, and using a bluetooth speaker for way better sound. Stand is stable for me, really easy to put together and get going. The power brick is hidden under desk, not a big deal that it is a small block, cord is plenty long. Well packaged. LG delivered a very nice screen for the money with this one. Super happy that it was plug and play with the Mac, and operates correctly with the Mac. Its a keeper for me.
Connectivity
---------------
DisplayPort and USB-C ports work fine. I can't tell any quality difference between them. My regular setup uses the DP port connected to CalDigit TS4 dock. Cables provided by LG are long enough to reach the TS4, but users with a machine farther away might need slightly longer cables. I haven't tried the HDMI port because a lot of people report Apple issues with HDMI on M1-based machines.
This monitor does not support daisy chaining or Thunderbolt.
Resolution and Overall Visual Experience
------------------------------------------------
My biggest concern was how Apple-native 2560 x 1440 ("WQHD") output would look when rendered on a 4K display. I write a ton of code and need text to look really sharp. I read all I could find about this subject and took a field trip to the Apple Store to evaluate the 5K display where the situation is perfectly ideal: 2560 x 1440 logical pixels get rendered onto a 5120 x 2880 display yielding an exact 2X scale factor in each axis. The results are super sharp text and smooth visuals for both content and UI elements -- part of the Retina brand.
Here's the thing some readers may wish to know. On a 27" display WQHD output does in fact look best from a text size and UI perspective, at least on Mac. Changing to resolutions other than 2560 x 1440 result in an experience that is less satisfactory. Imagine my surprise when, for WQHD output, text looked 85-90% as crisp as the Apple 5K. I sit between 26" and 32" away from this monitor. At this viewing distance I don't struggle to read anything. Everything is clear. I am confident WQHD output on WQHD-native displays will look much worse despite a perfect 1:1 pixel mapping. I also think WQHD content will look better on a 27" 4K than a 32" 4K due to higher PPI on the smaller display.
As to the alleged performance hit Mac machines take while downscaling to non-native resolutions like WQHD, here is my experience. Macbook Pro M1 Max doesn't even blink. There is no observable difference in terms of heat, CPU, or anything else. By contrast the 2019 Intel Macbook Pro i9 runs hotter by 10-15 deg C. The fans run constantly above 2500 rpm. One Youtube user reported slowdowns on Apple hardware while connected to a 4K monitor and rendering scenes in Blender. I can see where this might be an issue for specific Apple machines and/or apps, but I suspect they are edge cases the average user won't run into.
This monitor has nice saturation and overall color balance. I'm no colorist but the display just looks really, really good. I tried toggling HDR in Apple settings under display but couldn't discern any observable difference.
Interoperability With USB-C Docks
----------------------------------------
I have accessories like monitor and audio interface connected through a CalDigit TS4 dock. This LG has no problems through it either. Both Macbook Pro machines remember display arrangements and resolutions that were previously selected. I haven't observed power management related snafus as some people report, but I disabled power management while on A/C power.
Brightness
-------------
Going back to the priority for text legibility, I traditionally used extra brightness to enhance contrast and make reading easier on my eyes. I leave this monitor at 100% brightness, but I could probably go down to 85% before it would start to feel dim. Brightly lit rooms probably afford many fewer options unless one agrees to pay the Apple tax for the ultra-bright 5K.
Build quality
---------------
Build quality is okay. It looks like the cheap plastic that it is, though I like the narrow bezel all the way around the front. I haven't tried out audio because I use studio monitors instead.
The monitor does not include a camera.
In closing I think this is a fantastic monitor -- probably the best I've bought. Gamers and ultra discriminating users who need the very best probably won't be happy with it. For the rest of us it's a nice offering from LG that shows how far IPS panel technology has progressed in recent years.
These are much better.
+ No dead pixels. I know that's not so much of a thing now, but nice to see over four monitors.
+ Very repeatable color, contrast and brightness. My previous monitors all had very different settings and I could never get them all exactly the same - these monitors are all the same settings and they look identical.
+ 144Hz is visibly better than 60Hz even for a non-gamer (moving/rotating 3-D models). You will need high quality HDMI/D-PORT cables (without extension connectors) to make them work @ 4K/144Hz if the short cables that come with the monitor aren't long enough. I don't know what spec. of GPU you need to get four monitors at 144Hz/4K.
+ USB-C input option for future proofing or use with a modern laptop/tablet.
+ The stand is pretty flexible (see note below).
+ Decent enough sound for a monitor - as far as that goes.
- Of the four monitors, none had the same maximum height for stand adjustment (there was nearly 2" between the shortest and tallest).
- I know that 19VDC is getting to be pretty universal for power supplies, but I'd have thought there was room in this monitor to include the power so one could just plug it in to 100-240V which would have made my workspace neater.
Top reviews from other countries
I previously bought 4k LG monitors and weren't that impressed. These I'm pretty happy with though. I'm using the DisplayPort plugs which I find have a slight better quality than HDMI.
They look really nice too, with the black trim and white backs. They work fine with my VESA mounts.
Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2023
No hay ningun otro que por el mismo precio contenga 4K 144Hz y además bocinas que se oyen muy bien. Para programar es una chulada ya que lo puedes colocar en 90grados. Lo uso con mi MacBook, Xbox series X y mi ps5, todo va perfecto y el HDR va muy bien.
I expect the power plug is compatible with Singapore because the product was purchase from Amazon. sg.
And I also spent some time finding the OK button for the OSD setup, the button is well-designed, but it is not visible to the user.
Overall, the experience is good.
