LG 27UP600-W Review

The LG 27UP600-W is an easy-to-own 4K monitor that promises rich colors and just the right number of features for the money. It’s also one of the few basic 4K monitors that offer FreeSync which enables it to work as a budget gaming display for PC and consoles. Let’s take a closer look at the LG 27UP600-W to know if it’s worth your money or if the better equipped LG 27UP850-W should be your pick.

Performance

The LG 27UP600-W sports a 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a 5ms response time. the backlight has a 400 cd/m2 maximum while the contrast ratio is listed at 1200:1 like some of the brand’s first few Nano IPS offerings. This model is HDR 400 certified unlike previous generations of budget models, but we know that it is limited when it comes to imaging improvements in games and movies.

27-inch 4K monitors are popular and there are a lot of options in the market for both gaming and business use. However, some have complained that it can be too sharp due to the tight pixel density, so reading without scaling can be a chore. Games and movies, on the other hand, are a different story and users will appreciate the extra crispness of the details.

The LG 27UP600-W renders 100% sRGB and around 91% DCI-P3, making it more vibrant than most budget 4K monitors. Its default accuracy isn’t perfect with a deltaE average of 2.34, but it’s already decent enough for daily use. Most users won’t need to calibrate it apart from tweaking a few basic settings since it already looks balanced out of the box.

Calibrating the monitor reduced its dE average to 1.07 which is excellent considering its low price point. Doing this makes it usable for editing and content creation although you need a colorimeter to achieve it. Those aren’t exactly cheap, and you are better off with a professional variant instead if you need a 4K monitor for color-critical work.
