LG UltraFine 27EQ850 4K OLED Monitor with KVM switch and HDR10

The LG UltraFine 27EP950 is an OLED computer monitor designed for creative professionals, but with a high price of almost $2,574 on Amazon, it may not be suitable for everyone’s budget. However, the manufacturer has now released a cheaper sister model, the LG 27EQ850 4K OLED monitor, which is available in the USA for $500 less.

The LG UltraFine 27EQ850 has a 26.9-inch OLED panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) at 60 Hz, a 1 ms response time (gray to gray), a 10-bit color depth, 99% Adobe RGB, 99% DCI-P3, and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. However, it has a lower brightness of 200 cd/m² compared to the typical 250 cd/m² and does not have the DisplayHDR 400 True Black feature. Nonetheless, it does support HDR10.

The 27 inch OLED monitor offers a variety of interfaces, including two DisplayPorts, an HDMI input, a USB 3.0 hub, a headphone output, USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode, and a 90-watt power supply.

A KVM switch has also been included. Ergonomic features include tilt, height adjustment, pivot, and VESA mount (100 x 100 mm). The LG UltraFine 27EQ850 consumes 60 watts of power during operation.
