This post is just a review of 2 monitors mentioned above and want to help people decide if they are stuck between these 2 monitors like I was.
I wanted to buy a 4K monitor and started doing a bit of google research and finally it all boiled down to 2 monitors... Samsung 28 and LG 27 under 500$ as I wanted to go for a 8K HDR in 2 years and don't want to waste too much on monitor now.
I already own a Samsung KS8000 65 inch quantum dot tv and I fell in love with it and assumed Samsung is the best when it comes to display and purchased U28E590D and to my surprise, it was a terrible mistake.
It's a shame that you will not find even a single review comparing these 2 monitors and you get no help from google on this one...
So I had to take a leap of fate and went with Samsung U28E590 as my 65inch ks8000 rocks...
As usual, I let it run for 24hrs before I start calibrating color and other stuff...
First thing I noticed was the gray scale is not even and can see dark and light patch in a dark room :/
Then I noticed color is not good/crisp and other than at 4k all other resolution looked blurry.
Then I noticed, gama and black level was horrible(black is not black).
Tho it has 350 brightness. The TN screen lack crisp picture and vivid color and if you adjust it for crispy picture quality at 4K, you lose on response time and also started straining my eye..
After toying with it for 10 days I returned it to bestbuy and got the LG 27UD69P as I read 27UD68P has better black level in a YouTube video and wanted to see if it is same or better as this is a upgraded model of 68P.
Before turning it on, I was surprised that the LG monitor has height adjustment and can rotate screen to 90dig... that was a sweet surprise.
Overall monitor looks and feels well built and looks stunning and since it's white, it goes well with my white computer case.
I should say monitor looks brilliant.
Stand is sturdy than on Samsung tho I have heard 27UD68P has a wobbly stand and it looks like LG fixed it on this upgraded model.
As soon as I turned on the monitor, with default settings, color and crispness looks way better than what Samsung offered for 99$ less..
May be thats the difference between TN and IPS screens. But end of the day you expect good picture quality for the money you pay and if you are a gamer, you surely want a crisp looking picture than a blurry image.
As usual I let it run for few hours and picture looked stunning. I wanted to check the black level and to my surprise. I don't have any bleed as it's a usual for IPs screens and black level looked really good. (Black is black now) and color is way more crispy.
If you want to do some calibration of your own, you will be happy to see the settings custom menu which has all the settings and more than what you need. Each color can be caliberated separately like in a professional monitor to get you that stunning picture quality you will be looking for..
I am really happy with this monitor and will advice you to go for it tho it's 99$ more than Samsung 28E590 which is no match for LG 27.
I am not very good at posting stuff but I really wanted to do this as I got no help from google and I had to do it the hard way..
if this post helps you, I am happy to hear that.
Please let me know if you have questions.
