But 4K displays do not support higher refresh rates yet, and this one here is the best possible at this point. Most high-end displays come with 144Hz or 240Hz refresh rates for a better gaming experience. The LG 27UK650-W comes with a refresh rate of 60Hz which is not something you see in gaming monitors. Applications like Netflix and games that have HDR10 content will give you the best experience. If you have HDR10 content on the screen, the display will automatically recognize it and support it to give you the best viewing experience there is. HDR10 gives you a richer picture and immerses you when it comes to media consumption as well as gaming. The LG 27UK650-W also comes with HDR10 compatibility which is nice. The good news here is that all of the adjustable parameters are only a few inches away as you can mess with them using the OSD controls. If you’re going to keep the same preset that comes with the display, you will get very unnatural colors as you keep increasing the brightness. The color accuracy is quite good and you also have the option to calibrate the display to arrive at the right color temperature. The deltaE value out of the box is not that bad at around 1.8. The monitor also comes with 99% support for sRGB color gamut which is decent. Since most of us will be operating the display with this brightness level, this is what you should expect. When you bring the brightness to 50%, you can observe that the contrast ratio going down to 800:1. The contrast ratio is maintained only when you’re at maximum brightness. The overall grayscale performance of this LG display is also very satisfactory. The blacks are deep and the whites are as bright as one would expect. The contrast ratio we have is 1000:1 which is quite decent for a budget gaming monitor. This is the best panel you can get for a monitor and it gives you an excellent all-round performance. The pixel density of the monitor is amazing and all you can see are crisp images and super sharp texts. As the display comes with 4K resolution, the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz which is quite good for the price. The LG 27UK650-W model is a 27″ LED-backlit gaming monitor that comes with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Let’s talk about the basic features of this gaming monitor. Overall, the design of this model is quite good and doesn’t make this gaming monitor look like a cheap budget gaming monitor. You can do this by making use of a 100 x 100 VESA armature and fasteners. If you want to mount this LG display on your wall, you can do that as this display is VESA compatible. To top it all, the monitor also comes with a height adjustment feature that is rare to find in most monitors these days. If you’re a coder or a graphic designer, then the fact that this monitor can be pivoted into a vertical display should bring a smile to your face. The stand also gives you the freedom to tilt the screen forward and backward to a certain degree. You can swivel the gaming monitor to the right and left in smooth movements. The stand also has a lot of features in it. The arc style at the bottom is a nice touch and makes the display look mode modern. The stand has a nice weight to it and holds the monitor firmly without adding any wobble to it when pushed. The aluminum stand we have here is a solid one. The bottom bezel is a lot thicker as it hosts the logo and also the keys to navigate the OSD controls. These bezels are super-thin and add a nice, contemporary look to this monitor. One of the best design features that grabs your attention is the size of the bezels surrounding the screen. Most gaming monitors in this price range fall short when it comes to design and that’s where this one shines. When you take a look at this LG monitor, you know that this is a premium device. This is a high-end gaming monitor that comes with a beautiful design.
The first impression of the LG 27UK650-W model is nothing short of excellent.
