User reviews
Display
Display type
IPS, LCD
The type of technology used in the display.
Response time is how long it takes for a display to change the state of pixels, in order to show new content. The less time it takes to respond, the less likely it is to blur fast-changing images.
screen size
27"
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
resolution
3840 x 2160px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
pixel density
163ppi
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
Adaptive synchronization
AMD FreeSync
The type of adaptive synchronization technology supported.

✔LG 27UP850-W 27"
Anti-glare helps to reduce the external reflections of light coming from outside the display.
