Is this monitor good for gaming?

It works for casual games, but 60Hz and no adaptive sync make it a poor fit for competitive play. Gamers are better served by a high-refresh 1440p or 4K panel.

Does it work well with a Mac?

Yes. The 4K resolution and IPS color suit Mac setups, and DisplayPort or HDMI connects directly. Check that your Mac or adapter supports 4K at 60Hz.

Can I mount it on an arm?

Yes. It has VESA mounting points, so a monitor arm or wall bracket works. Confirm the arm's weight rating before buying.

Does it have built-in speakers?

No. You need external speakers or headphones connected to your computer.

Is 27 inches too small for 4K?

No. At 27 inches, 4K gives very sharp text and detail without scaling issues on most systems. Some users prefer 32 inches for more screen area.

Our take on the LG UltraFine 27 IPS UHD 60Hz Monitor

The LG UltraFine 27 is a 27-inch 4K (3840x2160) IPS monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, HDR support, one DisplayPort and HDMI. It is built for sharp text, photo and video work rather than fast gaming. Its IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and accurate color, and the white finish and VESA mount suit clean desks. Compared with 4K rivals, it trades high refresh rates and gaming extras for resolution and color, so buyers wanting 144Hz or adaptive sync should look elsewhere.
