What people are saying

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing display I've used the LG 27" display for a few weeks now along with my new Mac Mini. It pairs up really nicely. It is way nicer than the screen from my old 2011 iMac (a lot more resolution for sure). The built in speakers are passable. They go from quiet to loud pretty quickly. The microphone works well. So does the camera.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Rest For My Weary Eyes Last year I purchased a new MacBook Pro and in recent months found that my eyes were taking a beating when trying to work on photo editing. As an amateur photographer, I needed an adjustable monitor that would work well with the laptop. The integration between the two products was seamless. I was up and running in minutes. I now have tons of screen real estate to work with, fantastic screen color/resolution and my neck and eyes have really benefited. I read a ton of reviews before deciding on this monitor, and thus far I'm very pleased with the decision to purchase. The only drawback thus far was the lack of software. One must go to the LG website to find it, and even when entering the correct product ID, it was a frustrating chore to locate. I have thus far chosen not to download the software, as the reviews make it apparent that it's buggy. Kind of disappointing that LG hasn't put more thought into something so important.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING These monitors are by far the most functional and capable monitors I’ve owned. Having the built in camera given today’s video communication age is a game changer. Not to mention the amazing 5k quality. The setup was so easy and managing the resolution and configuration was just like using the Mac. No driver installs, etc. This monitor is like having the iMac without the brains, which is exactly what I was looking for to achieve. LG filled a need in the market that Apple has ignored too long, being a reasonably priced giant apple diaplay.You will be very happy with this monitor. Just wish I got them when they were 995 instead of 1295.
