I’ve had the LG 27 inch 5k version of this monitor for the past two years and loved it. I wanted a second monitor but didn’t want to cough up the cash for another 5k. I found the 24 inch 4K version could be had much cheaper and decided to give it a shot.
Picture quality: before ordering it I was initially concerned I’d notice it as having worse picture quality compared to the 5K After all, the 5K has 216 ppi versus 186 from the 4K. To be honest, the 4K monitor still looks great and I don’t really notice a difference in everyday use. Sure, if you put your face up real close and look you can’t tell a slight decrease in picture quality, but I can’t tell when sitting at a normal distance. Only reason I rated 4/5 and not 5/5 is due to the 5Ks higher pixel density.
Features: this one does not have a webcam built in, but instead has an ambient light sensor that can adjust screen brightness. My 5K monitor is the opposite- camera but no light sensor. I never use the camera anyway and prefer the light sensor. The monitor has 4 USB-C ports in the back where you can keep any accessories plugged in.
Ease of use: just plug and play. It’s that easy. You can set it up to be used as an additional monitor to your MacBook screen, or close your MacBook and use it as a sole monitor. I have a wireless keyboard and trackpad so I have my MacBook closed most of the time. Super convenient as it’s only one cable and it charges the computer too.
Using multiple monitors: Yes, you can use both a 5K and 4K monitor together. I am using a late 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro with touchbar. *I’m not sure if the 13 inch will be able to push both monitors. According to Apple, the 15 inch can run 2 5K monitors or 4 4K monitors at once. The 13 inch can do one 5K or 2 4K. Just FYI before you buy* I searched and searched and could not find a clear answer. The only stipulation is that you need to plug one monitor into a right USB-C and the other into a USB-C port on the left side of the MacBook.
Build quality: monitor is pretty heavy and has a heavy duty metal base. Great quality overall.
Support: I’ve had great experiences with LG support. My 5K monitor died after an electrical transformer went out in the neighborhood. LG fixed it for $150 since it was out of warranty and I was only without it for 3 days. Very reasonable price for the service.
