LG 27QN880-B Monitor 27" QHD (2560x1440) Ergo IPS Display, sRGB 99% (Typ.), HDR 10, AMD FreeSync, USB Type-C, Ergonomic Stand with C-Clamp - Black

When I was browsing for monitors I focused on the specs like the panel type, resolution, etc. I didn't really care about this monitor because it seemed as something you'd have in an office. But then I realized that most of the monitors that matched my requirements had severe constraints when it comes to vertical, horizontal or angle positioning. That's a big ergonomic issue. More importantly, I realized that these features are being charged as something premium. As in, most of the cheaper monitors could not be adjusted vertically, etc. Then I started thinking about this monitor again and quickly realized how valuable it is to have all this flexibility. I double checked the other specs and ordered it. It was the best decision ever. I just cannot believe how much positioning flexibility this thing has. Nor how cleverly designed is the foot of the mount. There's just so much flexibility all around, it's ridiculous. This thing is big. My desk is narrow so I have too sit bit further away, otherwise this monitor is too close. If mounted on the back side of a standard sized desk it should be perfect. But at the same time it saves so much space on my desk, I cannot imagine how much space would the same size monitor take if it had the conventional stand. The image quality is decent. It is excellent in low light and for darker colors. One issue I have is with the bright white backgrounds, at close range the panel has the effect of being "dirty" or "dusty". This is somewhat reduced when choosing Reader picture mode. Software wise, the options are more or less the same I see on all other monitors. Another thing I do not quite like and could be improved is how the energy saving mode is executed. Once you set the preferred duration, the mode will show a timer 5 minutes before engaging, no matter what, even if I'm actively using the computer. The only way to interrupt the countdown is to press the physical button and make the notification go away. I don't know if this can be changed in software but the energy mode should be started only if the computer itself is locked or in sleep. Oh, and speaking about the physical button - it is a joystick type button on the bottom, below the LG logo. I read some reviews saying they were not able to find it, getting frustrated, etc. Honestly, if I wasn't able to find this one button down there, I would keep it to myself and would not broadcast that to the world if you know what I mean!

Haven't had any problems after 4 months of using it. The display easily connects to my macbook with a single usb-c cable that is provided with it. No connectivity/loss of connection problems so far. The display also acts like a hub. You can plug mice/keyboards/speakers into the back to use freely on the display & laptop itself. The screen for the 27" def. isn't great compared to the retina on macbooks or 4K on the 32" model, but it's good for the price point. You def. don't notice it, quite clear and bright once you start using it.

UPDATE: 2/13/24 Many years later, my replacement monitor did arrive as expected back in 2021. And since then I have been using this monitor with no issues! It's moved with me twice since then and though I forgot what the USB-C cable was meant for - it still works just fine for me. If anyone could let me know what the USB-C cable is meant for (i think connecting to a laptop?) let me know! TLDR: REview is mainly about the quality control of the screen. This monitor is great in terms of USB-C connection, stability with the ergo arm, and picture quality is nice. Ordered May 2 2021 -- found a dead pixel May 30, 2021, asked for a replacement -- will update when that arrives around June 5-8. I ordered this 27" QHD monitor on 5/2/2021 and it arrived around 5/9/2021. I set it up a few days later on 5/11/2021 and used it sparingly between then to 5/30/2021. On 5/30/2021, I forgot to shut down my monitor for a few hours of the day and when I returned in the evening to use it, there was a dead pixel present on the screen. I did not want to attempt any DIY fixes and was able to consult with customer service to get a replacement monitor instead. I will update this when that replacement arrives. I'm a bit disappointed that after less than 3 weeks of use, there's already a dead pixel from the one time I forgot to turn off the monitor. I think getting a warranty on this is a good choice for any new customer to LG. This seems to be a common issue for others too.

Initially when I hooked this up to my MacBook Pro with the included USB-C cable, I hated the colors. They were super saturated and I couldn’t believe how pixelated the dark colors were. I couldn’t access many of the screen settings in the monitors menu. Then, after a few days I realized that all I had to do was turn off the HDR setting on my MacBook Pro monitor preferences. Now the colors are so much better and I’m able to access all of the screen settings on the LG menu.

There are a number of features that make this screen rated this high. 1. The display arm is great and works very well. 2. The display is a replacement for a screen with similar spec not 4K. 3. The connection to my MacBook Air M1 is simply a USB-C cable. 4. The price is reasonable. If you want a higher resolution display get the more expensive 4K ERGO display.

This is a superb monitor, comes with a versatile stand...a must have if you are looking for a neat versatile monitor that you want to use as a vertical or of course as a horizontal monitor.

2k resolution is just right for this display size. The monitor arm is really nice and adjustable. The plastic housing of the monitor does creak from time to time but doesn't seam to be affecting anything. Overall good for the price

This monitor had excellent color, image quality and good uniformity. It also doesn’t exhibit any of those odd edge shadows that plague almost all of the latest Dell UltraSharp monitors. The stand is great and was very sturdy. Unfortunately, LG chose the most aggressive anti-glare filter I’ve seen to-date. White areas (like the background of a Word document) appears dirty and sparkles. Had to send it back as my eyes hurt just trying to use the screen for a few minutes. I thought the time of bad AG filters was behind us but it seems someone out there still thinks they’re a good idea.

I bought one and and looking forward to replacing the rest of my monitors with this one. The panel has great image quality for my use case of programing, light gaming and content consumption. The monitor stand is really practical and has a clean look to it.

El costo de envío a jalisco mex fue 800 pesos aprox. Por las características como la entrada tipo C, calidad de imagen y brazo de posición es lo que mas me agrado. En calidad de material esta super bien. La Mac o Pc se ven excelente y mi PS4 sin problema.

Resulta que el equipo viene de Estados Unidos y me lo vendio Amazon Mexico, para cuestiones de Garantia, LG Mexico no se hace cargo de garantias con equipos que vienen de Estados Unidos, por que tendria que hacerla valida en Estadios Unidos, sin mencionar que la atención de LG Mexico es horrible. Piensenlo 2 veces antes de comprar equipo electronico en Mexico viniendo de Estados Unidos.

Really nice monitor.

Excellent monitor for WFH.
