LG 27UP850-W (27-Inch 4K IPS/60Hz/5ms/95% DCI-P3/DisplayHDR 400/96W USB-C PD) Review
The 27UP850-W is LG's budget-friendly 4K professional monitor, combining a "3-side virtually borderless" design with 96W USB-C power delivery and an ergonomic height/pivot stand at a price point below many competing 4K professional displays.
The IPS panel delivers approximately 95% DCI-P3 color coverage with standard IPS contrast, positioned as a value-oriented alternative to higher-contrast IPS Black panels like Dell's UltraSharp U2723QE also in this catalog. At 60Hz with a 5ms GtG response time, the 27UP850-W is designed for productivity, content creation, and general desktop use rather than gaming. Against the Dell UltraSharp U2723QE also in this catalog, the 27UP850-W typically costs less while offering standard IPS contrast rather than Dell's higher-contrast IPS Black panel, making the LG the better budget pick for buyers who don't need Dell's contrast advantage.
