I have a LG 27UK650 monitor. It started bleeding in all 4 corners right after the warranty ended. This seems to be a known issue for this type of LG monitors. Contracted LG customer service and terrible experience dealing with them. Not worth wasting the time.
Last time the UP600 was on sale at Best Buy for $189.99, nobody cared and suddenly this outdated and worse model is upvoted ?

Nothing makes sense.
Looks like a great deal to me, surprised not more love.

I have 3 of the LG 27UP600 and no issues thus far. Great 4k Picture.

Is the LG 27UP600 from Best Buy better than this model?

Any thoughts on how long this monitor will remain bright with daily use.

I ask because I have a Samsung SAMSUNG U28E590D and after about 3.5 years the brightness super dropped off. I compensated by increasing the colors but the background is no longer black. I wonder if some monitors are just better at staying bright and whether the LG is one of them. I kind of assume the answer is to get another monitor, not fix my Samsung.

Thanks.

By my glancing googling. The 600 seems to have a brightness of (. Peak 450nits, Typical. 350nits,Min 280nits. Contrast Ratio. 1000:1(Typ))

and the 500 has a brightness of (Brightness, 300 Nit - Typical ; Brightness, 240 Nit - Minimum )

So you might be onto something here. A bit brighter.

Yes, incrementally better but better in many categories, brightness, weight, stand, DisplayPort 1.4 vs 1.2 etc...

Quote from computergeek2929 :
What's the best cable to hook this up to a 2020 MacBook Air?

I use an 8k media and data usb-c to display port cable I purchased from a local home Office Depot for both my Mac Mini and my wife's MacBook Pro. I tried an hdmi dongle and a usb-c to HDMI cable but both had issues with flickering or lines. The 8K may be overkill and cost like $40 but has worked flawlessly. Haven't had any of the scaling or HDR issues some others are mentioning when using usbc and display port. My initial issues definitely came from the dongle.

Right. anyone looking at this deal should really be considering the current 27UP600 deal for almost the same price:
https://slickdeals.net/f/16465984-lg-27up600-w-aum-27-ips-led-4k-uhd-amd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-displayport-hdmi-black-199-99?page=2#commentsHeader

2-3 model years newer ("P" versus "K", but I think LG skipped year "M")
"Higher" end model (600 vs. 500), which generally reflects more features in LG lines.
DP 1.4 vs. DP 1.2, which is a big diference (would love to see DP 2.0, but not quite yet)

I got a 27UL650 for someone a few years back, and it's been great. Hadn't had any experience with LG monitors prior to that and my 32UL750, and now I'm a fan. They've both been flawless, and I use DP, HDMI and USB-C all connected on the 32. Just checked the "Information" menu, and I've got a hair under 5000 hours on it, no issues.

Is this deal better than the Dell S2721QS @ Amazon for $ 249?
I've had both along with each brands 32 inch version, and the dell I like better because my keyboard can nest below my monitor with the Dell's unlike the LG's. This is due to the differences in each stands feet design. If your desk has a lot of depth then it doesn't matter, but for me it does. Some of the LG monitors I don't think come with speakers, maybe this one does I don't know.

Quote from userdeal :
No USB-C which is a must in 2023.
I remember when "No HDMI" was a common complaint about TVs/monitors on the Slickdeals forums--so much so that it became kind of an in-joke on these forums to say "No HDMI" about every random thing that made FP.

Now "No USB-C" has become the new version of the original "No HDMI", and it made me feel old to realize how far the "No HDMI" thing went back. I have witnessed the life cycle of another technology.

TLDR: time is a flat circle.

Yep, no reason to buy this one when Best Buy is still selling the UP600 for $200. 1200:1 contrast vs 1000:1 and wide color gamut 95% DCI-P3 vs 98% SRGB are the biggest improvements. The UP600 might have a higher failure rate, which may or not be fixed by now according to LG (there was a recall on certain units), but if you're worried just add the 4-yr Geeksquad warranty for $30.

As for USB-C, I'd rather spend $20-30 on a 4k60 USB-C hub that also has extra functionality, versus an extra $150-200 on the monitor just to save some cable clutter. The added circuitry and complexity to support PD charging and downstream USB ports also means higher likelihood of something breaking down the line. Some of the monitors are also replacing the DisplayPort input with USB-C, and I'd prefer to have the DisplayPort.

How does this work with Mac mini? TIA
As a Mac user myself, I sometimes question the intelligence of fellow fan boys. It's like asking if a Shell gas would work on your car because you have always used BP gas. I am sorry for being rude, but I just have to say it.
