Our review

Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the LG 27UP850N run at?
The panel shows 3840x2160 pixels across 27 inches, around 163 pixels per inch. That is a 4K definition, roughly 4 times the pixels of a Full HD panel, so text looks sharper at the same display size. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the LG 27UP850N a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 27 inches at 3840x2160 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the LG 27UP850N have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand and built in speakers, but goes without a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the LG 27UP850N worth 350 euros?
At 350 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 3,400 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. It sits in the 4K category of our selection. Main strength: good value for a 4K monitor. Main compromise: refresh rate limited to 60Hz.
