## Overview

The LG 27MD5KL-B is a 27-inch 5K IPS display designed for professionals seeking exceptional image clarity and color accuracy. Featuring a 5120 x 2880 resolution, DCI-P3 99% color gamut, and 500 nits brightness, it delivers stunning visuals. Its Thunderbolt 3 port supports up to 94W power delivery and multiple USB-C connections, ensuring seamless macOS compatibility and efficient workspace integration.

## Description

That said, materials aside, the mechanical parts of the UltraFine 5K are wonderfully put together. Adjusting the screen is silky-smooth, with the perfect amount of resistance when it comes to sliding the display to a welcome range of heights. And ultimately, while Apple’s aluminum chassis on the now-defunct Thunderbolt Display may be nicer from an aesthetic perspective, functionally speaking it’s not strictly necessary when it comes to the actual use of the screen. The display also features a built-in webcam, which offers a bit better visual quality than the built-in one on the new MacBook Pro and some integrated speakers,

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This monitor is at least 5 years old now. Is it even worth buying now?**
A: 1. No, it's not really worth it's price. LG has basically added the "Apple Tax" to the price, and like Apple, has not reduced the price as the price of the tech has come down. That said ...

2. There isn't a better alternative. No other monitor on the market integrates quite so well with MacOS. That integration has value, and that's basically what you are extra paying for. 

The best alternative is probably the Dell Ultrasharp U2720Q. It offers USB-C, but not Thunderbolt ports, which shouldn't be a problem unless you intend to use and external GPU. You can still connect your Mac to it with a single cable, and you'll get 90W of charging (vs 94W on the LG).  Unlike the LG, it also offers additional ports – HDMI and 3x USB-A. As for the Dell's screen, it's 4K resolution at 3840x2160, HDR 400, 95% P3 color gamut, and 60Hz refresh rate. The included stand allows for vertical or horizontal rotation.

The Dell retails for $699, but as you might expect, it's always on sale. As of right now, 2021-05-29, it's priced at $539 on Dell's website. That's a massive savings if you don't mind adjusting the brightness (etc.) from the monitor instead of the keyboard, and don't need a Thunderbolt port.

3. A new Apple monitor is rumored (Bloomberg, 2021-01-15) to be coming out soon, but we haven't yet seen any rumors from the usual supply chain sources yet, so I wouldn't expect it to be available until 2022 ... if the rumor is true. At that time, expect it to offer Thunderbolt 4 capabilities.

4. As of this writing, we are at the end USB3 lifecycle. USB4 is technically finalized and ready for use, but so far there aren't too many products offering it. USB4 (and Thunderbolt 4) still use the same USB-C port and are fully backwards compatible. You can use USB4/TB4 devices and cables with both monitors, so you should still be able to get a nice long useful life out of the monitors despite their point in the lifecycle. USB4/TB4 will offer faster data transfer speeds and greater power delivery, but nothing groundbreaking. USB3 will continue to serve the needs of most people just fine for years to come.

Good luck with your search.

**Q: Does this monitor work only with mac os devices ?**
A: I have this display and use with my MacBook Pro. I do get the full 5K (5120 x 2880) resolution on it. The unit I have also charges my laptop, has a very serviceable front facing camera for Zoom, Meet and FaceTime. The built-in speakers are awesome. This display is a natural with Macs. As for display settings, they are all adjustable in the System Preferences Display settings. Everything works great with my Mac. Love this display.

**Q: So just to confirm, I can't use with with a PC at full resolution?**
A: Is your PC a Mac OS PC or Windows PC? As indicated in the title, the LG 27 Inch UltraFine 5K IPS Monitor with macOS Compatibility, Model # 27MD5KL-B is designed for Mac OS Compatibility. It is not officially supported on Windows. According to Apple the UltraFine 5K is limited to a 4K resolution of 3,840×2,160 at 60Hz when connected to 2018 ‌iPad Pro‌ models via USB-C. The full 5K resolution requires a 2016 or newer MacBook Pro, a 2018 or newer MacBook Air, a 2017 or newer iMac or iMac Pro, or a 2018 Mac mini...^IFV

**Q: Does this have vesa mount capability?**
A: A Wall Mount Cover is provided with your purchase and it has a VESA design. ^Daphane

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium Apple only monitor
*by V***L on 21 October 2022*

This is my second LG Ultrafine 5k monitor.Premium product, hence not a best value for money.5k resolution on 27-inch gives it a very high pixel density giving it "retina" display quality.For Apple devices, in terms of quality, this is second only to Apple's 6k XDR display and 5k studio display.Single Thunderbolt cable giving power and data connectivity to Macbook.In India, it came with a large power plug usually reserved for high watt appliances, which does not does into regular socket.It comes with USB-C cable for connecting older (1st and 2ng) gen iPad Pro. (Newer works on thunderbolts cable).It would have been perfect if it had:1. Some full sized USB ports2. ethernet / LAN port3. 140 watts instead of 96 watts for latest (2021+) 16-inch Macbook pros.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Setup, Does the job as advertised
*by V***A on 2 December 2020*

The monitor does ship with a Thunderbolt and a USB-C cable each (I had difficulty figuring out from the packaging/manuals if this is the case). Initially I had to unplug and replug the monitor to my 16" MBP 2019 a few times every time I'd see a vertical fuzzy bar in the centre of the LG monitor but no problems in the past few weeks (maybe it was due to other cable interference). Other than that, I use this monitor for work, videoconferencing, etc. and I am very happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best display ever.. available still in 2021 market..in this price range
*by S***A on 17 December 2021*

Best display ever.. available still in 2021 market..in this price range For MAC, I m using it with my M1 pro book, the thunderbolt 3 cable came with the monitor is working fine with the thunderbolt 4 port in mac book.. yes, the build quality might hv been improved.. but rest is the best if we compare with the existing ones.
