LG 27MB85Z-B Reviews & Tests

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Too bright and kind of flaky

I would not recommend this monitor or buy it again.

Good color and overall performance (no noticeable ghosting, etc)

The monitor is WAY too bright. We have it set to brightness level 0 and it is still uncomfortable to look at. Sometimes it will turn itself off and won't come back on unless we unplug it from the wall.

Great Picture and Price

Definitely a great alternative to the Apple Display.

Great picture, easy setup, love the port replication.

Only real complaint is that there was no TB cable in the box. Lame!

Excellent monitor

The sharpness comes set to a default of 5 on a scale of 0-10, and the adjustment for it is buried in another menu. I nearly returned the monitor because I thought the sharpness was so poor. When I finally found the adjustment and reset it to 8, the...

This is an excellent monitor. Good color rendition, great sharpness, easy controls

No manual included; had to call LG USA and have them email me the PDF

Disappointed in Newegg

I love Newegg, but this left a really bitter taste in my mouth. It was like being at the checkout of a store and having someone from the store pull it out of my cart, tell me I can have it back if I pay them $180 more. Once an item is in the checkout...

Great monitor. Was exactly what was needed.

Was purchasing the monitor, finishing up the checkout process and the monitor went unavailable. Called in and was told it was not available with little more information. Signed up for notify. It notified me the next morning, telling me that the price...

Great alternative to Apple Thunderbolt Monitor!

Overall, very happy with purchase. Connected plug and play with my current 34UM94-P LG UntraWide TB2 monitor. They should update spec's to note this is not Thunderbolt, but the newer spec Thunderbolt 2. big difference in speed (double). Note; if you...

I'm using this with my late 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro - 750M discrete graphics card. Runs just fine. I have the 27MB85Z connected to and daisy chained off my LG UltraWide 34" 3440x1440 Thunderbolt 2 monitor (34UM94-P). Works awesome - both have full...

Only CONs are price and their are no built in speakers on this monitor, but thats OK, built in speakers are usually junk anyway. The speakers on the 34UM94-P are actually good duel 5W speakers.. was surprised. Price, normally $700-$800 .. I got lucky,...
