If you use a 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display like many of us here at TidBITS, it’s easy to be spoiled by its pristine image quality.

DisplayPort (or Mini DisplayPort) input for older Macs and USB-C video for newer ones.

Reasonably high pixel density for crisp text.

The market is full of 27-inch and larger screens that support only 1080p resolution and a pixel density of around 100 pixels per inch, about half of any Retina display you’re used to. Alas, those monitors are costly and, in my opinion, underwhelming apart from their pixel density.īuying a monitor is like navigating a minefield.

If you’re used to the coherence of the Apple cocoon, the PC monitor market is a strange and frightening place. LG 27UK850-W: An Acceptable 27-inch Display for the Mac
