Unlike the larger 32-inch BenQ PD3220U, coders and Twitch streamers won’t be able to rotate the UltraFine 90 degrees to use the screen vertically. Depending on how you like to view your display, you’ll likely want to center the UltraFine on their desk for the best experience. Though the stand can be raised and lowered, and the panel can be tilted upward and downward, the UltraFine cannot swivel from side-to-side on the stand. While it’s not an unattractive design, the angular rear design brings back vibes of large, flat-screen CRT televisions from the 90s. In addition to the screen’s thickness, there’s also a protruding trapezoidal structure that houses the display’s internal electronics. The flat screen comes in at just under an inch thick, measuring 7/8 of an inch.

Though most of the UltraFine’s traits that do not appeal to consumers can be chalked up to the UltraFine’s professional pedigree, there’s still one design element that will raise a few eyebrows, even among creative users.

The all-black hue of the UltraFine makes it looks more like a PC companion than something designed to complement Jony Ive’s design. Though Dell had popularized the nearly invisible bezels with its Infinity Edge Display, most creatives generally prefer having a bezel to help minimize distractions and help them focus their attention on the screen. But don’t be fooled by the UltraFine’s somewhat dated appearance, as the larger bezels do serve a useful purpose. While I appreciated the uniformity of the bezels on all four sides – most displays have a larger bottom bezel, giving it a chin-like effect – the rather large 5/8-inch symmetrical bezels make this panel look less modern. If you’re used to more modern consumer panels, you’ll immediately be drawn to the panel’s symmetrical bezels. And unlike most all-in-ones – like Apple’s iMac and HP’s Envy Curved All-In-One 34 – the stand can be raised and lowered for better ergonomics, a requirement for professionals sitting for hours each day working on their creative projects.

It certainly won’t be sliding away on your desk. Unlike Apple’s branded products, this display is largely constructed from plastic, but at 25 pounds, the UltraFine still manages to appear solid and feel reassuringly durable. The focal point of UltraFine is its rectangular, 24-inch 4K screen, which is pre-mounted to a solid cylindrical stand that’s attached to a metal square-shaped base straight out of the box – no assembly required here. In spite of its more utilitarian aesthetics, the basic silhouette of LG’s made-for-Mac monitor is very similar to Apple’s now discontinued Thunderbolt Display.

Creatives needing a larger display can also opt for LG’s similarly styled 27-inch UltraFine 5K panel, which costs a $600 premium over our review unit.

However, in somewhat of an ironic twist, the all-black hue of the UltraFine makes it appear more like a PC companion than something that was designed to complement Jony Ive’s love affair with silver metal-clad computers. For the most part, the UltraFine 24’s understated basic black design does serve a useful purpose for the creative audience that LG is clearly targeting, given that the hue is a neutral color that will help your eyes distinguish the various shades of color brightly displayed on the screen. Unless you need a color accurate display that supports a wide P3 color space, the design of LG’s UltraFine 24 may seem a bit underwhelming for the average person. Is it the ultimate monitor to match your MacBook Pro? Basic is the new black Given that Apple’s premium display starts at $5,000, LG’s $700 UltraFine seems like an affordable panel for creatives.

Windows users may feel left out of the loop, but LG is clearly catering to Apple’s creative user base, given the panel’s high price and coveted position in Apple Stores.įor creative professionals who don’t need the extra large canvas of Apple’s 32-inch Display XDR with 6K pixels of resolution, the UltraFine 24 is certainly a more affordable alternative that sheds some of the premium features.
