4K MONITORS
76Take this 27-inch display from its box and you can
feel the cost saving as its plastic stand and
lightweight construction shows that it’s no
professional-grade display.
However, once set up, its simple, curved stand,
plain black rear and low-profile bezel makes for a
stylish display. And so long as you treat it right, it
should continue to look good for a long time.
This is even something of a step up model in LG’s
range as it offers height adjustment and pivot so
you can use it in portrait mode. The stand can also
be removed to reveal a 100x100mm VESA mount.
Otherwise you get no extras here. Connectivity is
one DisplayPort and two HDMI, but there’s no USB
hub or speakers.
The image quality is great, though. IPS glow and
backlight evenness might be a touch worse than
premium models, but that’s just nitpicking. Overall,
it’s superb right out of the box. If you’re
looking for a cheap 4K screen this is the
one to get.LG 27UD68P

LG has hit a winning formula with some of its displays.
They’re great value, combining elegant design and a
minimum of features with IPS panels that deliver reliably
good image quality. The 27UD68P is such a model.
