Never lucky, December 14, 2016

This review is from: LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync (Personal Computers)
Was really excited for this monitor but unfortunately it has significant backlight bleed (see attached pictures), and a very noticeable dead black pixel (s). First picture is monitor at 100% brightness. The second picture is set at 50% brightness.
Other then that this is a great 4k IPS budget monitor.
I’m going to try and get a replacement. Hopefully that one has less bleed. Unfortunately when I do replace it amazon will then try to sell this same monitor as like new and then someone else will have to deal with these issues.

Note for Xbox one X users:
You cannot use freesync since it is display port only. You have to change the settings on the monitor under picture adjust>>turn on HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color before the xbox one x will allow 4k.
Once enabled go into settings>>display and sound>>advanced video settings>> then check the following in pictures. Once that is done you can change the resolution from 1080p to 4k uhd.

Really nice entry level 4k monitor, November 1, 2016

Really nice entry level 4k monitor. I was a bit hesitant to buy this one because of the lack of reviews around the web. Decided the price was worth it and might as well give it a try. Turned out to be a great purchase, not perfect but still really great. I’ve been using it for doing art and animation, and of course 4k gaming. It’s color isn’t as nice as a 90%+ Adobe RGB, but LG’s S-IPS panels still have great color, a step above most monitors, especially around this price point. Gaming is a dream on this thing, so sharp and crisp, truly glorious. Here are some Pro’s and Con’s:
Pros:
-4k… duh
-10 bit color (8+A-FRC)
-S-IPS panel (great viewing angles)
– 99%+ sRGB (measured as NTSC 72%) gamut.
– Freesync (only works with AMD cards as of now)
– 5ms on an IPS panel
– 60hz
– Black stabilizer setting, can bring out the details in certain dark images.
– HDCP 2.2
Cons:
– Only 3 inputs, 2 hdmi and 1 display-port (would have liked 1 more display-port)
– Has an anti-glare coating (it’s not very aggressive like some I’ve seen, but still can cause slight distortion when viewed from above/below at extreme angles)
– At250 cd/m2 it’s not on the high end of peak brightness, but not bad either.
Update 1: I thought it might be handy to add a little section on setting up the PS4 Pro with this monitor. I took me awhile to realize how to get it working to display at 4k. You need to have a newer hdmi cable (2.0, the monitor comes with a short one) and you need to enable the setting for HMDI UHD deep color, this enables RGB 4:4:4 chroma signals to pass over HMDI so it can talk to the PS4 Pro. This setting is under Menu>Picture>Picture Adjust>HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color. This setting is common among LG 4k devices, so if you have an issue on another LG product w/ ps4 Pro, make sure it’s enabled. You may also need to change RGB settings on the PS4 Pro to “Full”.
Update 2: I wanted to update with the settings I found best for my panel, in terms of color and brightness, etc. May not be universal, but could give a ballpark of what you may want.
