What customers say about "Features"

LG 27UL500 UHD IPS Monitor

I've been using this monitor a lot now with my Xbox One X, and it really is amazing!
The monitor has 4 HDR modes: HDR Vivid, HDR Game, HDR Standard, HDR Cinema.
I really like the back - it's white and looks very clean.
There is a cool mode called "HDR Effect" which basically turns any content into super bright super vivid colors, and that seems to work with the gaming features.
Amazing picture quality, great size, good stand. Highly recommend.

LG 27UK850 4K UHD HDR IPS Monitor

The stand is very nice and feels like a quality product.
Stand has a smooth height adjustment and can rotate to portrait.
The sound system seemed fine, but I rarely use the speaker system.
Speaker gets the job done, but don't expect anything hifi.
It's a little frustrating to have to adjust the brightness for room conditions and the quality of the plastic is certainly at the lower end.
