Performance

In terms of performance, this LG monitor delivers 4K UHD resolution on the 24-inch Nano IPS panel. The display offers a 60-hertz refresh rate and a 14 millisecond response time, which is good enough for photo editing and watching videos. It covers 98 percent of DCI P3 color gamut and offers 500 nits of brightness. The monitor supports 4K Daisy Chain connection via Thunderbolt 3 and offers 85W of system power.

Design

The LG 24-inch monitor comes with a minimalistic design and a great-looking stand. It features a flat panel with slim bezels all around. Unlike it’s sister version, the LG 24M47VQ, which has large bezels and makes the LG UltraFine 24MD4KL monitor superior in that aspect. The monitor offers a total of three USB C connections, and two Thunderbolt 3 inputs, along with support for 85W power transmission. The inputs are available at the rear of the monitor. The included stand offers height and tilt adjustments, but you can also wall mount this monitor thanks to VESA mount support.

Value

This USB Type C monitor is good value for money, especially if you plan on using it with a MacBook Pro or a Mac system. It offers great color reproduction, 4K UHD resolution, and supports Daisy Chain connection thanks to the inbuilt Thunderbolt 3 ports. A high-quality Thunderbolt 3 cable is also included in the package. The monitor offers Flicker Safe, Auto Brightness, and easy On Screen Control. The LG 27UK850-W IPS LED 4K Monitor is also good value for money.

LG Ultrafine 24MD4KL Wrap Up

The LG UltraFine 24-inch monitor is an excellent choice for photographers and Mac users. It comes with a 4K UHD IPS panel that offers 500 nits of brightness. The monitor also gets 5W built-in stereo speakers, and USB Type C ports. Although it lacks AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync support, it is a good buy.
