This was priced just under $400 less than a couple weeks ago. I think this model is being cleared out and is being replaced by the 27UP650 (current $450), which as far as I can tell, the main difference is an updated stand (please correct me in comments if that's not accurate).
It's also the same price on B&H photo:

2 x HDMI 2.0, DP1.4, headphone out, 3-sided bezel-less display, VESA-mountable and color-calibrated from factory. Stand supports tilt, height and rotate. I quite like the bottom power button/joystick control.

This is the best I could come up with when figuring out the LG naming scheme
LG Naming
First Two Numbers - Monitor Size
First Letter - Series Monitor Belongs to (Ultrafine, Wide, Gaming, Business)
Second Letter- Year Released (K=2018 L=2019 N=2020 P=2021)
**Next two items may or may not be in model number**
Letter after series number - F or G (Freesync or G-sync)
Last Letter - W=White or B=Black
Sometimes the series number is 2 numbers, not 3. This denotes business vs consumer monitor. Difference is 1 year warranty vs 3 year warranty otherwise they are the same.
Differences in Ultrafine Series
600 - Non-Adjustable stand no USB-C + USB 3
650 - Adjustable Stand no no USB-C + USB 3
750 - VA Screen instead of IPS, Adjustable Stand, no USB-C + USB 3
850 - Adjustable Stand, USB-C + USB 3, Speakers
950 - Thunderbolt connection instead of USB-C, Speakers

Ahhh good call out, saw the response time, ips and htz and thought they might have been fairly equal.

Another interesting aspect I learnt from SD forums is that the U series is User/Consumer line and comes with 1 year warranty. And the B series is the Business Line which is the same monitor but 3 years warranty. E.g. 27BL85U. Not sure how LG honors the warranty if the B series is bought by consumers.
This is a great price for this monitor! 👍🏼

While I consider these options.. can anyone point out the differences between the 27UK, 27UL, and 27UP units. I know the 850 model has USB-C and the 650 model includes the adjustable silver stand. But like what has otherwise improved year after year with this monitor. The only information I can find is that UL added HDR400.. which Im guessing increases the brightness when viewing HDR content.

Yes this is suitable. It's factory-calibrated, so color accuracy out of the box will be reasonably good.
If you work with a lot of HDR video, then possibly it may be worthwhile to get the a newer UP model, which has 95% DCI-P3 coverage or another monitor with a similarly high rating
Meaning I could use 4K for productivity but game at 1440p with a better refresh rate?
