LG 24UD58-B Monitor 24" 4K Ultrafine (3840 x 2160) IPS Display, FreeSync, On-Screen Control, Screen Split 2.0, Game Mode, Black Stabilizer - Black

I was concerned about buying such a low cost monitor but it’s VERY good. Crisp and clear and the size is great. I can have my music notation tools all open on the same screen and it improved my productivity tenfold. I’m not a PC gamer at all so I can’t account for the graphics for a gaming PC, but I have a Nintendo Switch and a Wii (For GameCube games) hooked up to it. Switch games look fantastic on this screen. Even Virtual Console games like Star Fox 2 look great. Nothing is blown up or stretched. The screen did need some adjustments for the Wii, however. Keep in mind that the Wii outputs at most 480p. The games still look great however, a little blurry. Still not stretched though which is great. I use a 3rd party Wii HDMI adapter does that does affect the display quality. No speakers is disappointed but the 3.5 mm audio jack in the backside is a very convenient exchange.

There are a few things really important to me in a monitor and this one ticks all the boxes, I'm primarily looking for: 1. Retina resolution (because once you've had it you can never go back) 2. 100% Mac compatibility (I'm driving this off a 2021 M1 MacBook) 3. No less than 60hz refresh rate. I'm not a gamer so I can't really talk to that, I use this for coding, biz productivity, occasional video playing, video conferencing, you get the idea. If you need crazy response at 4k or 1080p keep on going, this one isn't for you. I got heck of a Prime Day deal on this, it was 'refreshed' but still had the sticky plastic on it — looks brand new, and was a hair under two hundred bucks. I can't say that I've ever spent better money and even at $299 as it is at the time of writing this I'd buy it. The colours are great, it's bright, the blacks and greys are where you would want them, and it has a solid feel to it. You are going to want to use the DisplayPort connection as most newish Macs will drive it at 60hz. HDMI can be tweaked apparently (monitor settings > Menu > Picture > Game Adjust > Response Time: High) to get 60Hz but it would never go over 30 for me — feels laggy and the mouse movement doesn't have the smoothness you're probably used to. I went through a few monitors and this is the one that works great for my needs. Hope you find this useful and give it a spin if yours are the same.

This review is for the 24" model. I bought this monitor for photo editing and occasional gaming. Highs: Price, screen brightness, high DPI, construction, OSD First off, this monitor is inexpensive for what you get. You get a relatively high DPI, an IPS panel, and supposedly nearly full sRGB coverage. This is not an HDR monitor, but the backlights are sufficiently bright at well under 100% brightness. This means there is some headroom to bump up the brightness as the LEDs slowly dim over the years. My monitor did not have any dead pixels. The stand does has only a tilt adjustment, but the monitor seems to be solidly constructed overall. There is a sense of quality to it. The plastic enclosures of some monitors creak when you pick them up. That doesn't happen with this one. The OSD is also very well designed and easy to use. You navigate it using a single button which is basically a directional pad. I wish all monitors used this setup. Lows: Uniformity, contrast My monitor has noticeable hot spots at the top and bottom edges of the screen. These are actual hot spots, not IPS glow, which is also present. They are not terrible, and they don't stick out in real-world use. There also seems to be a lack of color uniformity across the screen. The right side, in particular, seems to have a slightly greenish cast. It's difficult to tell how much of it is from off-angle viewing. Again, it is a mild problem. Regarding contrast, black levels are somewhat bright, and there is IPS glow in the corners. Contrast is definitely not a strength of this monitor, though I would say that it's still acceptable. Bottom line: I think this monitor provides a lot of value. The build quality was beyond what I expected for the price, and everything else is acceptable. If you are looking for an affordable high-DPI monitor, I think this is worth considering.

I've been using this monitor for a few weeks now, and I'm very happy with it. The 24" screen is clear and detailed, and the backlighting is even. It works flawlessly with my Late 2013 MacBook Pro. The monitor comes with HDMI and DisplayPort cables, but since my MacBook Pro needs a mini-DisplayPort cable I also bought the StarTech.com 1m 3 ft White Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Adapter Cable M/M - DisplayPort 4k with HBR2 support - Mini DP to DP Cable . In retrospect, I should have bought the black version of that cable to match the back of the monitor, but the cable has worked great. Out of the box, colors were a little washed out at first. Pastel colors were almost white. But after going through Apple's calibration process (System Preferences > Displays > Color > (Option-click) Calibrate... > Expert Mode) the display is richly colored and a perfect match to the built-in display on my MacBook Pro. I also had to change my sound output preferences to use the MacBook Pro's built-in speakers, since this monitor does not have it's own speakers. The 24" size is very comfortable on my desk — about 4" wider than a full-sized keyboard — and a perfect size to get retina resolution at 3840 x 2160. I also use the display with Windows 10 in Boot Camp to play games, and it works well there, too. I occasionally have a problem where the monitor comes up black out of sleep, but Alt-tabbing to another window (for some reason) wakes up the display and everything is fine. I think this is a problem with Windows rather than the display. I like the little upside-down joystick button on the bottom of the monitor for changing monitor settings. I find it easier to use than the multi-button setups on other monitors, and the on-screen overlay makes it clear how to navigate the menus. Good design. The stand is adequate for my needs, though you can only change the angle, not the height. The stand is a little bouncy, which might be annoying if your desk shakes, but my desk is stable enough that it hasn't been a problem. Overall, I am very happy with this monitor as a no-frills beautifully clear display for programming and occasional gaming.

IMO this is an outstanding monitor for use with a 2017 MacBook Pro. Please note that it must be connected with an USB-c to Displayport adapter (I bought the highly-rated Monoprice one) and a Displayport cable, to the Displayport on the monitor to get 4k/60hz. If connected by HDMI it will only do 4k/30hz (some much more expensive monitors will do 4k/60hz via HDMI). Do NOT confuse things with "Mini DisplayPort" - that interface is not used on the monitor OR new MBP, which comes with 2 or 4 USB-C/HDMI/Displayport ports. I initially thought the lack of other ports on the MBP (it has NO other ports!) would be a hassle - but it's not. And the ports are VERY secure - the cables/adapters snap into place and simply don't fall out. The monitor was detected immediately once connected and powered up. NOTE - the power switch is almost impossible to find without reading the instructions! And because it's also a joystick I won't point out its location - the instructions are important. It works immediately and you will probably be notified of a firmware update - install it right away and the "Displays" setup will change to reflect it. It handles 4K/60hz without any special setup. I have no problem with "leakage" - but as that is only something that shows when a monitor is on but not used I don't see the point of worrying about it anyway. The screen is crystal-clear, it refreshes fast, and it's great for having two (or more) windows open at a time. I suppose there may be some users that need a more expensive 4k monitor for some reasons, but I have no idea what those reasons would be. I've surfed the web, watched 4K video, edited RAW images and HD videos, and used Logic X for some studio recording and I fail to find anything the monitor could do better! Highly recommended.

My late 2015 intel iMac can't be upgraded to Ventura so I ordered a mac mini m2 and I needed a monitor. I don't do gaming or photo editing and 60 hz is sufficient but I wanted excellent color and resolution and this monitor delivers that. I used the HDMI cable provided and was surprised that despite some articles saying the view port was better in my eyesight the colors were true and equal to the iMac screen view. It came packaged securely, was easy to assemble and just plug in. It has a joystick control that takes a bit to get used to and once I designated the port I booted up the mini and was frankly astonished that it looked so good. It was really plug and play. I had downloaded the manual but I'm what they call an average every day user and I find the operation not a great deal different than the all in one iMac set up. What I am mildly disappointed in is that I have a small desk and the stand which is stable has some what protruding feet. I didn't expect speakers but was a bit annoyed because there was no usb port for the speakers I bought to go with an ear phone hole which is on the device. These are minor complaints because everything about this monitor that's important to me exists. Don't know about the longevity but so far so great. I bought some Amazon Speakers which are surprisingly good, a logitech keyboard and mouse which are bluetooth and designed for Apple and am really pleased.

For the price, this monitor is absolutely unbeatable at one thing: displaying text! A 4k monitor is basically four 1080p monitors glued together. So if you buy a 4k monitor then run your OS at 2x zoom, it's like having a single very, very nice 1080p monitor. Everything looks crisp and beautiful; all the jagged edges you can see on text on 1080p monitors are just gone. Unfortunately, most 4k monitors are huge and expensive; this one is regular-sized and cheap! I bought two to replace a dual-monitor 1080p setup for my home office. So far I love it! The monitor doesn't support high dynamic range (HDR) or wide color gamut (WCG) but I don't really need that. Its 60 Hz refresh rate is also pedestrian by modern gaming monitor standards, but again this doesn't make much of a difference for general office & programming work (or the occasional single-player video game!). The only thing I would change about this monitor is to have a second DisplayPort input instead of a second HDMI port. I think this has to do with the monitor's FreeSync implementation. All in all, best value 4k monitor on the market right now.

Couldn't be happier with the choice of this monitor. Had searched around for something in this size, resolution and price range for some time. Was coming up short with options. When this went on special at Amazon Warehouse, with an additional discount, I jumped. I'm glad I did. YMMV, but for my particular needs: a home audio recording space, mounting on a VIVO Pneumatic Wall Mount Arm (ASIN: B0779BHZCG), to use in a variety of positions (standing, seated, 90º, etc), this works like a charm. Running off a 15" fully loaded mid-2015 MBP via Thunderbolt 2 to display port, the LG resolution holds its own with the MBP Apple Retina display. If you want to daisy chain Thunderbolt 3 devices through your monitor, look elsewhere. But for my config it fits the bill. I originally tried to save money purchasing an Asus HD 1080p gaming monitor (ASIN: B083FMP35T), which I promptly returned. Text and overall image quality was too pixelated, and I felt I needed to try a 4K monitor before I landed on something. I can't speak for the stand, as mine is VESA mounted. Seeing how thin bezels are on newer models, I was concerned this might be a bit beefy, but considering how much I move the monitor to different positions, I'm glad it's got a bit to grab on to. I also don't use the audio jack on the back, as I run everything through an audio interface, but I can confirm it works. I keep marveling over the image quality and what a perfect fit it is for my space, I felt compelled to finally write a review on this and share my experience. Hope it helps someone. UPDATE: Only negative I’ve found for my setup and use in VO, is that the refresh rate appears too slow to render looping/dubbing text clearly when using rythmo band.

My unit worked well for 14 months, then it broke down - the screen shows just black and white stripes and noise. LG customer service confirmed the unit has a 3-year on-site warranty and an LG service rep comes over. He tells me, Amazon has sold me an international unit which is not supported in Singapore where I live. (I bought the monitor from Amazon Singapore, not from overseas.) So apparently there is no warranty whatsoever. He suggests me to turn to Amazon, which I will do but not my hopes high up. To make things worse, (1) even if I would pay the replacement part myself, it would take 3-5 weeks to ship it. But, (2) actually they cannot order the part at all for this international unit. The service rep literally confirmed my 14-month-old monitor is now garbage. And when I asked if a 14-month lifecycle is normal for LG electronics, he said it's "difficult to say". Needless to say, the next monitor that I now need to order won't be an LG.

La verdad que el monitor tiene muy buena calidad de imagen, sobre todo en videos 4K se nota mucho la diferencia. Qué me gustó?? El freesync, junto con una radeon 480 van muy fluidas las imágenes. Sobre qué no me gustó: lo que ya dice el título: todo se ve muy pequeño, aún escalando la imagen sigue todo muy chico. En linux ubuntu es peor, todo es microscópico, hay que ver todo de muy cerca, al final tuve que configurar en ubuntu el monitor a 1080P. Para juegos, tiene un modo gaming que me gusta, ajusta el brillo (al máximo) y el input lag (al mínimo)

No le hagan caso a la gente molesta que pidió y pagó por un monitor de 24 pulgadas y querían que les mandaran un monitor de 27 pulgadas. El precio del de 24 pulgadas es bueno. La calidad imagen, al ser monitor IPS, es buenísima. Y yo lo calé con una Mac y jala perfecto a 60hz con Display Port.

Para edicion de video, muy buena fidelidad de color

A la fecha de esta reseña este es el monitor 4K mas económico en Amazon, y uno de los pocos disponibles en México (aunque técnicamente es una importación). Para mantener el precio a raya, LG a eliminado todos los extras habituales, no hay Hub USB ni altavoces integrados, mucho menos la opción de un soporte para uso vertical, pero no se ha abaratado en lo que importa: un panel de buena calidad. 24 pulgadas (o 27 dependiendo de la versión que elijas) parece poco para 4K, pero gracias a las mejoras en las técnicas de escalado incluidas en Windows 10 realmente no hay mucho problema, en lo particular encuentro el ajuste al 150% mas que aceptable, pero ya estoy acostumbrado a usar pantallas 1080p de 12 pulgadas en ultrabooks, la mayoría preferirá 200%. Son pocos los programas que no se llevan bien con los altos DPI, casi todos, versiones viejas de programas de pago, o aplicaciones opensource cuyos desarrolladores tienen poca prioridad por el apartado visual. El panel IPS es muy uniforme, lo suficientemente luminoso para una habitación habitual, y con un tiempo de respuesta mas que adecuado, como todo panel IPS no puede ofrecer negros verdaderos, pero cubre el estándar sRGB al 99% y el NTSC al 72% por lo que es una buena opción para semi-profesionales de la fotografía y/o vídeo. De manera predeterminada viene con colores algo sobresaturados y algunas opciones de "mejora de imagen", que como de costumbre joden mas de lo que dicen ayudar, asegurate de desactivarlas todas. Es compatible con las mas recientes actualizaciones de conectividad: HDMI 2.2 y DisplayPort 1.4, aunque por salud mental comiendo usar DP para conectar tu PC ya que hay muy pocas tarjetas de vídeo compatibles con HDMI 2.2, por lo que pudieras terminar estando limitado a 4K/30 fps si usas HDMI. El monitor cuenta con diversos modos pre-configurados para cubrir diversos tipos de uso, si no tienes tiempo o ganas para calibrar probablemente los mas usados sean "Juego FPS 1" y "Cine", el paquete incluye software administrador de escritorio, de tal manera que puedas acomodar la posición de diversas ventanas según requieras, e inclusive forzar alguna app en modo siempre visible. Si no tienes una tarjeta gráfica AMD pierdes el acceso a Freesync, el cual resuelve los problemas de Judder y Tearing que se presentan cuando la tarjeta no es capaz de lograr 60 fps en todo momento al jugar, y como extra te permite reproducir películas a 48 fps mejorando la fluidez del movimiento considerablemente. Tristemente (y evidentemente) si usas gráficos Intel o nVidia no solo no puedo acceder a Freesync sino que además no tienes capacidad de realizar overclocking para usar una tasa diferente a 60 Hz (bueno, puedes hacerlo, pero resulta que es solo un engaño e internamente el monitor sigue trabajando a 60 Hz), entiendo perfectamente las razones (nVidia tiene G-sync, e Intel tiene... nada), solo que es el único problema que le puedo encontrar a este producto hasta el momento. Sobre la compra, en mi caso la unidad llegó perfectamente empacado, sin pixeles muertos, mas rápido de lo estimado, entregado por DHL, OJO, por el peso no entra en envio gratis, por lo que aparte del precio señalado tendras que agregar otros 40 dolares de envio, con todo y eso queda por debajo de los 400 dólares.
