LG 24MD4KL-B UltraFine 24" IPS LED 4K UHD Monitor - Black

I’ve had the LG 27 inch 5k version of this monitor for the past two years and loved it. I wanted a second monitor but didn’t want to cough up the cash for another 5k. I found the 24 inch 4K version could be had much cheaper and decided to give it a shot.Picture quality: before ordering it I was initially concerned I’d notice it as having worse picture quality compared to the 5K After all, the 5K has 216 ppi versus 186 from the 4K. To be honest, the 4K monitor still looks great and I don’t really notice a difference in everyday use. Sure, if you put your face up real close and look you can’t tell a slight decrease in picture quality, but I can’t tell when sitting at a normal distance. Only reason I rated 4/5 and not 5/5 is due to the 5Ks higher pixel density.Features: this one does not have a webcam built in, but instead has an ambient light sensor that can adjust screen brightness. My 5K monitor is the opposite- camera but no light sensor. I never use the camera anyway and prefer the light sensor. The monitor has 4 USB-C ports in the back where you can keep any accessories plugged in.Ease of use: just plug and play. It’s that easy. You can set it up to be used as an additional monitor to your MacBook screen, or close your MacBook and use it as a sole monitor. I have a wireless keyboard and trackpad so I have my MacBook closed most of the time. Super convenient as it’s only one cable and it charges the computer too.Using multiple monitors: Yes, you can use both a 5K and 4K monitor together. I am using a late 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro with touchbar. *I’m not sure if the 13 inch will be able to push both monitors. According to Apple, the 15 inch can run 2 5K monitors or 4 4K monitors at once. The 13 inch can do one 5K or 2 4K. Just FYI before you buy* I searched and searched and could not find a clear answer. The only stipulation is that you need to plug one monitor into a right USB-C and the other into a USB-C port on the left side of the MacBook.Build quality: monitor is pretty heavy and has a heavy duty metal base. Great quality overall.Support: I’ve had great experiences with LG support. My 5K monitor died after an electrical transformer went out in the neighborhood. LG fixed it for $150 since it was out of warranty and I was only without it for 3 days. Very reasonable price for the service.

Bought this to use for working at home to reduce the eye strain that I was experiencing with my 24” Samsung. I am running Windows 10 on VMWare, and was concerned that it would not work well with Windows. I could not find any reviews that covered this question except for one other review on Amazon indicating the user had difficulty getting a text size that worked. My experience is that this works perfectly with Windows 10 and with my Mac. The display is crystal clear and easy to read. I could select multiple resolutions on the Windows side. Sure, you have no buttons and it has only USB C ports, but I am comfortable with that fact and my personal use of the computer will be on the Mac side, including my iPad Pro (still waiting for IOS to give greater support to iPad Pro). I am also a photographer and I love the crisp and bright detail it provides for editing and viewing photos. It’s a little pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion. Fantastic monitor and I would buy it again!

Monitor for 2023 Mac mini. Space had restrictions, so purchased 24"--would have got 27" otherwise. Display is beautiful--on par with native Apple products. No damaged pixels and sharp image across a variety of different resolutions--no visible evidence of scaling. There is no power button on the monitor; connect the Mac mini to the monitor via Thunderbolt, and powering on/off the Mac mini turns on/off the monitor. I would have liked the monitor to have Thunderbolt 4 (which Mac mini supports) for longevity, but that is just a desire, not a necessity. The bezels are larger than some other monitors--including other LG UltraFine models, and you can see a lot of back-end bulk from side profile. However, the quality of this monitor makes the cosmetics inconsequential to me. Nice touch: my monitor shelf is not perfectly even; monitor tilt is firm enough to compensate and get screen horizontal in midst of slight lean.

The monitor itself is great but it did not indicate no built in camera so using continuity camera required lots of running around finding out what I needed and then the settings are wonky. For the price this is outrageous and it wasn't mentioned in the advertisement.

I bought it to use with a new Mac mini with M2 chip in January 2023. I plugged it in to the Mac and it ran fine without any tuning or adjustments. Sharp, bright, clear, good colors. Runs very cool. It just worked. Just what I wanted. I hate having to play around with half baked hardware and software to get something to work with the OS. This monitor works right out of the box with Apple. As far as I know , it is the only monitor that Apple sells for use with its computers that isn't Apple branded(although I bought it from Amazon). You get what you pay for. This review written after 5 months of daily use.

After a few months, the screen has a constant flicker to it. Bought a new cable and still the same issue

This purchase is my second of this model.I primarily use it for photo editing. It’s a gorgeous monitor and works well on my Mac Studio. I like that you are able to daisy chain two of these displays. The thunderbolt cable from the computer connects to one monitor, and the second monitor is connected directly to the first. The one thing that caught me off guard when I bought my first was that the monitor has no controls on it, including no on/off switch. It’s completely controlled from the computer.

I'm using it with a Macbook Pro. Not sure if the unit I received is faulty, but the usb-c connector in the back is loose and does not keep the cable firm in the socket. I know I'm not going to move the screen/cable/laptop around when I work but the thing disconnects at the slightest readjustment of position or cable movement. I can only imagine this issue getting worse with time as the connection further deteriorates, so I will return it.
