29 Comments on Review: LG 27UD88 a 4K USB-C Monitor for 12″ MacBook

1. This will be a good monitor for a Hackintosh build

2. This is the exact setup I have been looking to put together

3. nice monitor but macbook is not a good enough computer to work in 4K
   monitor

4. I use a minix hub with my Asus 4K monitor. It basically achieves this setup
   with the addition of Ethernet. It’s just not as ‘tidy’ because I have used
   Velcro to strap it to the pillar on the monitor.

5. I believe that the 2016 MacBook model supports 4K @ 60 Hz. It seems really
   convenient setup.

6. who wana see Jeffs face?

7. What camera are you shooting on these days? Video looked amazing!

   • RX100 M4: http://amzn.to/1r7mhgD

     You’re right, it is an amazing little powerhouse. I love it. Traded in my
     GH4 for this, and have zero regrets.

   • +9to5Mac wait what. I thought it was something along the lines of the GH4.

   • Really? I’m currently on the GH4 but the RX100 M4 definitely has me
     thinking.

8. Some thoughts for Apple to consider for the next Thunderbolt Display…?

9. The speakers on the desk, they look like a pair of Argon Octave (3A
   perhaps)??

   • They are the Kanto YU5’s: http://amzn.to/1ObN6vb

   • Ahh, they just look an awful lot like my Argon Octave 5A. Thanks for the
     reply

10. 4K at 30Hz)))

11. This is jeff with idowloadblog …

    • Exactly! That 38mm Apple watch!

12. Can you please review the Acer H277HU too?
    Great review By the way :)

13. The video looks great in 4K, what camera are you using?

    • RX100M4: http://amzn.to/24vYMLq

    • +9to5Mac sony camera’s are the best cameras 😉

14. Thanks for reviewing this hope to see more USB-C monitors in the future

15. USB-C is the future.

16. can remplace a desktop?

17. Any chance you could tell us what scaled resolutions are available with
    this when used with a mac and how they look?

18. I don’t really like mac setups but you made me watch the whole video!!! its
    so good and your setup is amazing.
    Keep up!!

19. review what you say in the video, coz it might be very miss leading!: “If
    you have a computer with a Display port connection or HDMI port connection,
    you can get 4k@60 Hz…” !!!!WRONG!!!!! Only HDMI 2.0 can do that (yes,
    DisplayPort too), the usual HDMI 1.4, which by the way still most of the
    computers have, can NOT do 4k@60Hz, can only 4k@30Hz!!!

20. How does this monitor feel compared to the “Acer 277hk”?.. i have seen the
    acer 277hk in real life, and it just amazing with its sharp and crisp
    display that makes you feel like you own a very good quality display… im
    afraid that the LG gives a more standard feeling with its display. When i
    look at youtube clips it just seems like the acer have a more sharp display
    and its not all plastic like the LG.
