Pros & Cons
Pros
Usb type-c from monitor to laptop. Wireless input peripherals with close-proximity transceivers (back of the monitor) this includes my blue yeti microphone that i use for video and audio work, as well as my desk fan and cable hub for when i need to pl... Read More
The picture is extremely readable, even at small fonts. Granted, i am not used to super high class monitors so take that fwiw. I am able to reduce the size of my fonts significantly such that i can get far more information on the screen.
The 5k display's 5120x2880 native resolution scales nicer when you run it at 2560x1440 like most people will. This 27 inch 4k uhd matches the lg ultrafine version spec for spec at half the price.
Everything just works as advertised. Lg is a trusted brand in my house. Was a great price and shipped very fast.
One annoyance is that my imac continues to recognize the display after i switch to a different input (from displayport to hdmi in this case) it has a usb-c connector that both links to the macbook and charges it (so it's actually better than the thund... Read More
Cons
Lg's power led option should disable the blinking, but it doesn't on standby. Waking the display is cripplingly slow; it always takes 5 to 10 seconds to display anything (including the display's own ui for switching inputs, etc. The only automatic inp... Read More
Months after purchase the issue with the joystick switch has reappeared. Short warranty + poor quality = waste of money. Poor longevity stands at a whopping 2 months.
The colors are not very accurate either, but i'm not sure how best to calibrate the screen. Scaling means your graphic card has to scale everything for the size you picked, and that results in blurry text, and not so smooth scrolling.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent resolution to work with surface pro 2017 via surface dock
Stand is sturdy and adjustable in all directions.
The one cable to charge and display on the monitor simplifies docking/undocking from my home office desk.
Basically just a disgusting, vomitous, pixellated nonsensory horror show of bleh quality.
Price
This is an absolute beast of a monitor for the price.
So for $15 i bought a monoprice one from amazon as well, and now it works perfectly.
It would have been my first choice to get the same thing for at home but didn't want to shell out the $1300 price tag so i look... Read More

Shipping
The shipping was very quick as well.
Packaging/appearance
Other than that, it was a seamless set-up right out of the box, paired perfectly with my macbook pro and i was up and running in no time.
I'm only marking off one star because i'm very disappointed that all the info seemed to say that this worked with vesa mounting... Read More
Competitiveness
Compare this to the similar nec model.
Anyway, i set it up to the max resolution (3840 x 2160), which is slightly less than the ultrafine.
Some of my opinion comes down to use model, but i'm guessing there are a lot of people in that same boat.
