Reddit mentions of LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync

The lowest Amazon price was $299 last year. I'd say this or something better will go on sale again this year but this is certainly a good monitor if you have been waiting on it to go on sale. Also note that there is currently a warehouse deal for $333 on Amazon that appears to just be repackaged. I'm also fairly certain that you are going to be paying tax on both Costco and Amazon.

looks like a few on amazon from third party sellers for $260. 60hz

I bought a [LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRQAYPE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) in preparation for my Xbox One X I would purchase this year. I finally got my Xbox One X last week and have been loving it. I have no need for a TV. I don't watch TV and for me I mostly game, watch netflix, and read when I'm at home relaxing after work. So yes there are some of us who only game with monitors. We do exist.

Yea $50 off for a used monitor sounds about right

This is far from a good deal though.

how does it differ from this model which seems to always be $280? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRQAYPE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A13ACIRM091OJE&psc=1

Worth mentioning that this is the lowest price it's ever been on Amazon

i think this one looks pretty good. It is in your price range, not to old, supports hdmi 2.0 for streaming 4k content and 5ms response time.

Check out the LG 27UD58. It has freesync and a fantastic panel. It's by far the most reasonably priced 4k IPS monitor and it's very good.

If you want thinner bezels and/or more extra stuff, the 27UD68 could be a good choice too. AFAIK it has the same panel.

This monitor is $337 on Amazon. LINK

Lots of good monitors these days:

None of these are affiliate links fyi.

EDIT: Looks like Scorpio needs HDMI 2.1 for Freesync. Nothing has HDMI 2.1 right now I believe. Maybe wait for HDMI 2.1 monitors? I would.

I would get something with FreeSync. I believe Scorpio will have FreeSync support if you ever get a PC with an AMD graphics card you can utilize this monitor on it too.

basically what I am saying is that:

Cost of HMD with 8 inch 3000 PPI Display > Cost of HMD with 7 inch 300 PPI display + 1 inch 3000 PPI Display + Motorized Parts

I think you are underestimating how expensive pixels are.

A cheap 1080p TV can go for <$100 new, a cheap 4K TV (~4x the pixels) can go for maybe $500 ish new.

I'm looking as well. From what I've seen, this one seems to be pretty positively regarded. It's the LG 27UD58, and at the time of posting this link is $339.99 for the 27" model, which is exceptionally cheap for a 4K monitor:

This one

hmm i think 400 is riight on the cusp of two price points... the monitor OP picked is solid, 1440p IPS. The next step of improvement would be 4k IPS, and those are typically pricey but every once in awhile they drop into the sub-400s with refurbished models like this one EDIT: jk not adobe rgb oops

Just a heads up you can try this monitor. It is also freesync and 4k but it is also an ips panel so you will get better colors and viewing angles.

Here's a 29 inch LG. Unfortunately Its 2 inches bigger at 29 Inches Ultra-Wide, 1440p, 21:9 Full HD, IPS& its HDR10 compatible, with FreeSync. Its also $229 on amazon

If it has to be 27 inch there's this

HP 27q Pavilion 27" QHD Monitor Silver. Its a FreeSync 27 inch IPS. Its 285 on amazon.

There's this 32 inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS panel with FreeSync up to 75HZ. Its $239.95 on Amazon

If 4K is a must there's this.

LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync . Its $299 on Amazon.

​

These are all moderately priced monitors under $300. There might be better monitors and if you need specific functions they might not be " the best " but for the price I'm pretty confident they are passable unless what you will be using them for requires super low response times or 99.5% color accuracy etc.

I'm not aware of any games on the pro running over 60fps but I could be wrong.

Another thing to consider that I didn't factor into the selection above is HDR. Dunno if Rocket League supports it but assuming you're tempted to check out a game that does have it, you'll regret not getting a display that supports it.

This BenQ display is worth consideration:

If you want to do more homework before committing to one, the website http://www.rtings.com is one of the most comprehensive display review sites I've seen.

Sadly r/monitors does not provide console gamers much love sometimes, but as I've now done the research to be at least a little knowledgeable I'll share what I know.

So the short answer to your question is what you're looking for does not exist in your price range. This is because what you're looking for is a 4k monitor with true HDR at 60 Hz. Those run in the $600-$800 USD range.

The good news is that if you're willing to make a few sacrifices then you may be able to find something.

A bit of knowledge for you, consoles wont output anything over 60Hz so getting a 144Hz monitor is useless. That saves you some money.

Sadly the monitors with "fake" HDR are out of our price range (I've been looking for three months for the same thing you're seeking). Those run $450-$500.

So were left with a 4k monitor running at 60 Hz. I'll link what I've found in our price range. That seem to be worth anything.

1. ASUS VP28UQG 28 in monitor. Current Amazon price $329.99:
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PK4R2H/?coliid=I2JFHR2Q0IYGDM&colid=257OK8USMTMG&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
   
   
2. LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch Monitor. Current Amazon price $297.94:
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?coliid=I3RNZKMRJCXRLS&colid=257OK8USMTMG&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
   
   The ASUS monitor is a TN monitor so the colors will not be as vibrant but the performance will be better which is what you're looking for in FPS games. The LG is an IPS monitor so it'll have the opposite.
   
   I will be getting the ASUS. Having missed my opportunity earlier this week, I'm waiting to see if Monday brings the price down below the $300 USD price hold again.
   
   I hope this information helps. If something I've said is wrong, hopefully someone will speak up and correct me, but from what I've found, it is accurate.

I found this on Amazon right now: https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1542854916&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+4k+monitor

If the bezels are too thick though just search up either the LG 27UK650 or 27UK850. They're both more expensive, but they might be cheaper when Black Friday itself hits.

try this one only thing it doesnt have hdr 10 https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE

Maybe this might be something along the lines of what you are looking for.

Your best bet is to set aside more money and look for something near the 500-600 price point.

Or, forget HDR and get something like this when it's on sale.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511028812&sr=8-3&keywords=lg+ud68&dpID=513wn0vKeEL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

1080ti, very nice. To take full advantage of that card for gaming you would be looking at 1440p 144Hz or 4k 60 Hz.

1440p 144 Hz G-Sync monitors are expensive, and your girlfriend would dump you. (But maybe not if she didn't dump you for buying a 1080 Ti) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cdcMnQ/asus-rog-swift-pg278qr-270-2560x1440-144hz-monitor-pg278qr

4K IPS panels at 60 Hz are under $350 on the lower end. I almost picked up this LG monitor until I decided to wait for Black Friday deals and upped my budget to $500.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE

You could even go with a 4K TN panel for cheaper.
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Rk98TW/aoc-monitor-u2879vf

Looks like it went up to $340 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xk4.zbYQNMAKJ

It might be cheaper other places.

The first one is an LG similar to the VS and the other an LG 32" HDR freesync

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yzHMHh

This build has a TR4 with 16 cores, which will be very good for video editing. It also has an RTX 2080 which will be very good for DaVinci Resolve which uses the GPU a lot.

Is this the Monitor?

I didn’t add the keyboard or Windows but left room in the budget to add those

Threadripper is great for working with RED media. Read my other comment for the discount code

Will I be able to fully utilize this monitor with the build I have?

LG 27UD58

Parts List

No, all three displays are set to default resolution.

https://i.imgur.com/8vRun8l.png

The monitors are LG 27UD58-B

I'm strongly considering buying this. Aside from the 60hz, it looks really solid. Anyone have info on how it compares to the LG 27UD58-B? It looks like this is a just a slightly upgraded version but they're nearly identical.

You might want to look into getting a TV instead, can probably get more for your money doing that with a console-only use case. But here's a bunch of monitors, work out what you want then use pcpartpicker or the like to get the best price on it:

New 27" Sceptre 4K IPS - $200.

Used 27" LG 4K IPS - $318.

New 27" BenQ 1080P VA - $179.

New 27" AOC 1080P - $160.

New 27" AOC 1080P IPS - $200.

New 27" ViewSonic 1080P - $180.

New 27" BenQ 1080P - $229-249.

I don't mean to hijack the post, but I had a question for you NCX, and didn't see any other good way to ask.


I've read your forum of reviews and you seem very well versed in the subject. It just can be an overwhelming amount of information.


With a use case of work of app developing and occasional single player gaming, is there any significant benefit for a lot of the monitors on your list over the LG 27UD58 at it's $299 price point? I'm not going to be editing photos or media, so the minute differences in color accuracy may be lost on me. I just want a significant upgrade from my current main monitor (which is a BenQ 24" 1080p TN panel). My budget ceiling is in the ballpark of 500, but I'm trying to understand what, if anything is a big difference between the low and mid end of 4k IPS monitors and get the best bang for my buck.


Thanks for all of your help and time, I see that you've assisted a lot of people on this sub.

Erm... that's $299 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE

You might be able to snag a 4k IPS monitor if you wait for deals, there might be one on /r/buildapcsales that will show up.

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20

Found this LG one, 4k, IPS, freesync but with a 1070 its useless.

I was thinking about this one https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE

Now would a 4k upgrade be worth it? Found a couple 4k @ 60 Hz TN panels under $300 with 1 ms response. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1480237766622

Something like that?

Hello OP. I've thoroughly read your request and provided a build that I think would be suitable.

I imagine you'll be decommissioning your old mac and want to relocate all the drives. I made sure the motherboard/case can support up to 8 SATA drives at once. This way you can move over as many hard drives/SSDs as you'd like. As a result of this I have omitted a SSD, however if you need to add one I would recommend: ADATA Ultimare SU800.

I also omitted the 4k monitor, since my monitor knowledge is limited, however I would recommend the following as an entry level 4k monitor: LG 27UD58-B 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor.

Let me know what you think. This was meant as an extrapolation of your requests, but I am open to adjusting and continuing to help if you decide that you don't need as many slots or what to go for a smaller form factor or find ways to reduce price/compromise.

Would this :

would this be comparable?

I’m ok with some overkill... she’s my baby sister, the youngest of us, and is graduating. She’s pretty serious about she wants to do, far more so than I was about anything at that age lol. I don’t mind spending a little extra on her on this one occasion. I see it as an investment in her future. Plus she may be able to use it to make a little money while in school with some freelance art commissions or graphic design I dunno, but I’d like her to have options to do that sorta thing and more. She’s slightly undecided about which specific direction she wants to go and is gonna start college with general education courses before declaring a major. This is one of the reasons everything I said is a bit scattered in terms of its usefulness for any specific thing. Also I’m a gamer not an artist/animator so I don’t know much about what is useful for animation.

If the Ryzen 7 is more than enough I will definitely stick with that. The next lowest cpu isn’t that much savings so there isn’t much reason not to get the 7. I will avoid skylake x and TR tho and spend the money elsewhere.

One of the reasons I wanted to go 4K is because I know at least with gaming anything over 24” in 1080p you start to see the individual pixels in the screen and I figured for art she would need more clarity. I was look at this LG monitor as it’s color accuracy is said to be great in the reviews, but perhaps that’s only for general purpose use and not art? What specifically should I look for in a monitor, both in 4K and 1080p? How necessary is two monitors? Like how specifically do you use it to your advantage? What would be your ideal monitor setup? Desk space might be minimal so dual monitors or a single monitor over 27” could be tricky, I’m not sure.

I probably can’t afford a cintiq without sacrificing heavily in other things as I don’t see any under $1k, but what about a cheaper alternative brand like this? or perhaps you can point towards a more affordable cintiq that I missed?

Lastly, I forgot to ask about ram. Was planning on 32gb 3200mhz ram, is that adequate? Or if 16gb is good enough I can put that $ towards other stuff, but 32 seems to be the magic number.

UD68 can display more colors (Color Gamut)

UD58 = NTSC 72%
UD68 = sRGB over 99%

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=psdc_1292115011_t1_B073DPBJ7Q?th=1

I use this monitor with this cable. You'll need to use two cables, one for the monitor and a separate cable for laptop charging, but it's about half the cost of the 4K LG monitor Apple sells. You can also make it a little cheaper if you choose a cheaper monitor like this one.

This'll crush games at 4k 60 hz and run 4K Movies, on that note. https://smile.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522053899&sr=8-3&keywords=4k+IPS+Monitor
Though if you're willing to go a bit over $500.

With the freesync aside, would this monitor be acceptable?

$319 probably your best bet if you game too. LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_w7bNBbT0M3AKG

Do you want a gaming monitor? If so, your budget is probably not enough.

But this one is pretty good for not gaming: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20

> These may be dumb questions but to get the computer running, do I need windows 10? I forgot to mention I'll be also using this computer for the internet occasionally, is there something I need for it to run on wifi?

This should suffice for your WiFi needs.

And by the way, that Samsung monitor is a TN as well. If you can spare the extra $40, I think this would be a better investment. Just a heads up though, you'll probably need to bump the resolution down to 1440p in games cause the 580 can only get to about 30-40 FPS at 4k, while it'll have a much easier time punching in above 60 (about 70-80) at 1440p with some graphical settings tweaked here and there.

That’s a 720p screen. I was asking about a 4K screen.

When I check Amazon’s TV department for a 4K screen with 32” or less diagonal size I get three results. A 100” tv. Nope, too big. A 40” tv. Still too big, but doable if I had a bigger desk. And finally, a $600 32” 4K monitor. Great, now let’s just compare that to what I can find over in the monitor section proper. What’s this? A 4K monitor that is 27” (the same size as my current screen) and less than half the cost of the 32” screen. AND it has Freesync?

Yes, if you do not game, the high refresh would be nice, everything would be slightly smoother, but ya, very unnecessary. Definitely skip GSYNC.

Got my wife one of these and she loves it: Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27-Inch

I might suggest you reconsider 4k. It is a much more 'standard' resolution, meaning panels can be shared with TVs to lower the overall cost. In many cases you can get a nice 4k for not much more than a 1440p panel and in some cases cheaper:
For example; LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS

Good Luck with your search! Hopefully some other folks will give some alternative recommendations!

I have the LG UD2758.

It's a bit smaller than the C32, but it's 4K and IPS. Looks great with the PS4 Pro.

LG - 27UD58-B

4k for $25 more. Still has 60hz though https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE

Coming in at $250 will not be easy. I have two of the below LGs for my desktop and they're awesome. But they come in at ~$300.

This one? LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UI76BbTA507G5

I’m seeing it on amazon for $309. Not sure about the prices, but I’ll say that I have this monitor and I absolutely love it

That should give you everything you want, except for hdr. 300-350 for the monitor it looks like. If you want to go bigger and get hdr, save up for the 55 inch ks8000 imo.

LG 27UD58-B 27"

I bought my LG 4k 60hz 27" monitor from Amazon for less than $300 and it is wonderful. It's inexpensive enough to justify for a midrange build while leaving plenty of room for upgrading.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540228516&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=lg+27+4k+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=513wn0vKeEL&ref=plSrch

I tried to to fully utilize the budget. As for the monitor, that was a mistake I didn't mean to input that resolution. Going back over the list bow I see a 144hz 4k monitor isn't even available under 1k. So here is a 4k 27" for 340. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20

For the monitor? Max 400 usd+ tax + shipping. I'm leaning towards the LG 27UD58-B 27in 4k for ~350. Alternatively, the ASUS PB278Q 27in in 1440p for ~360

Now it's only $300: LG 27UD58-B 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jmrKBbC0RKHB8

Core i7s with 16 gigs of RAM, according to the setup guy working for the company that ran the rigs.

You really don't need to lecture me about how PC parts work, it's literally what I do for a living. The reason I mentioned the 980 Ti is because a) it's germane to an actual, known setup used by the Forza engine, and b) the performance of that GPU is extremely close to Scorpio's capability according to Microsoft and multiple other reported sources working on the system. Whether it's AMD or NVIDIA is functionally irrelevant - if anything, an integrated solution at the same performance point is more likely to meet the 2160p/60fps threshold since Turn 10 is optimizing down to the bare metal of a single hardware configuration. As a general rule of thumb (based on performance between Motorsport and Horizon 1 on 360, and the united Forza Engine between Motorsport 5/6 and Horizon 2/3 on X1), you'll optimally get 60 fps on Motorsport and 30 on Horizon - they halve the framerate to double the rendering window so they can effectively stream all the additional open-world assets (like textures and free-roaming drivatars). If we were talking about jumping Horizon to 2160p/60fps, there'd be a valid discussion here, but we're not. They've already proven they can hit a baseline of 60fps in Motorsport on the same hardware that Horizon is doing 30. That's why I mentioned the 980 Ti.

4K monitors do not cost $2000. You can get a 60hz one right now for $400. Here's a brand new one from CES 2017 for $1000 that includes HDR over HDMI (a first for monitors!). The only one that's projected to hit $2000 is the 2160p/144hz/G-Sync/HDR-over-DisplayPort AU Optronics panel, which is chock full of features that are unnecessary for consoles. And by the way, 2160p gaming looks pretty damn amazing.

https://www.amazon.ca/LG-27UD58-B-UHD-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

This one has HDMI 2.0 with Freesync

These are probably around the absolute best you can get based on your needs/budget.

Both of these are IPS/4K and in the $400 bracket. If It was me I'd go with the Ben Q

There's actually a decent amount of 4k ips monitors at your price range. https://www.amazon.com/AOC-U2790VQ-3840x2160-Frameless-DisplayPort/dp/B07LBM2DCC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=4k+ips&qid=1568832802&s=electronics&sr=1-4 and https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=4k+ips&qid=1568832802&s=electronics&sr=1-6

What if I have this one?

If refresh rates above 60 are unimportant to you, then go for 4k. I just purchased a PA32UC and it has amazing QC and build quality, for a price premium of 2k. When not editing/viewing 10 bit content I don’t have HDR enabled.

If you don’t want/need HDR or 10 bit color, 4k can be a lot cheaper than that.

I'm in the boonies, no BestBuy nearby.

This one seems similar and is $100 cheaper, any thoughts? Must be something it doesn't have given the lower price.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/

You can currently already buy an IPS LG one for $330

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20

Most monitors have some form of speakers but are always crap. I would always recommend a good set of headphones no matter what your gaming situation is.

If you have a 1x I highly recommend this monitor link

If you have a standard 1 or a 1s this is a great option link

Honestly any monitor would do but you just have to look for the key things

1. Low response time
   
2. Minimum 60hz
   
3. 4k for the 1x
   
4. 1080p for everything else
   
5. HDMI port

This is a good choice for that price range.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

But I personally recommend you an IPS Monitor like the one I have due to the higher viewing angles and color accuracy

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IRQAYPE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511465289&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=lg+27ud58&dpPl=1&dpID=513wn0vKeEL&ref=plSrch

And of you like the second one and you want it with a better stand, there's a model called UD58-P.

https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511451571&sr=8-3&keywords=4k+ips

4k resolution as you seem to prefer quality over smoothness (144hz+). Comes with Freesync but that is ignored as you don't have AMD cards. IPS for rich colours, not just brightness.

It's on offer right now so seems decent.

What’s the difference between that and the lg 27ud58b ? https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD58-B-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01IRQAYPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511490634&sr=8-1&keywords=lg27ud58

You can get a 4k at 60hz for $295, but it's about $100 overbudget.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQAYPE/?tag=pcpapi-20

The LG 27UD58 looks good.

• 4k
  
• 27"
  
• 72% NTSC (~100% sRGB)
  
• Freesync

This is the monitor I have currently. I’m still trying to figure out if any of the 2 HDMI ports can support 60 Hz. And does having the ports be a 1.4 and 2.0 make a difference?
