You’re here because you want to know: “What’s the difference between the LG 27UK600, LG 27UK650, and the LG 27UK850??”
These three LG 4K monitors share the same panel but have different specifications.
- The LG 27UK600 is the vanilla variant of the trio.
- The LG 27UK650 has pseudo-HDR and a slightly better color accuracy.
- The LG 27UK850, on the other hand, is basically a 27UK650 with a USB-C slot that’s ideal for MacBook Pro users.
All of these monitors will perform with similar results which most users won’t be able to distinguish unless they use a professional colorimeter, so feel free to take a pick!

what is the technical difference between 27UK650 and 27UK850 apart from the USB C connector.
I want to buy a monitor for photo editing (Adobe Photoshop) and architectural rendering(Adobe sketchup) using a Lenovo Legion Y740 (17”) Laptop laptop with intel i7, ninth generation, 16 GB RAM NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2060 6 GB

Hi, Shri! Both are almost perfectly identical, even in testing scores. Make sure your laptop has an HDMI 2.0 or Mini-DP output so you can run these monitors at 4K 60Hz. Cheers!

Can you tell me if there is a difference between the UL-550W and UK-650W versions. From what I can tell, the differences appear to be luminosity (300 vs 350 nits) and color gamut (98% vs 99% sRGB). I have the UL-550W and primarily using it with my ps4 pro. Would it be worth it to step-up to the UL-600 or UL650 based on these specs? I believe the UL550 is about $100 cheaper than the UL600 right now. Thanks!
Paolo Reva says
Hi, Riley! The difference other than the specs you mentioned is the stand. There will be differences in color accuracy and overall image quality, but we don’t think it’s worth the extra cost and trouble if you are already satisfied with what you have. Cheers!
