Q: Will the 27un850-w work with the new mac mini m1, and what is the best way to connect? hdmi?

I have this monitor and an M1 Mac mini, bought both in the summer of 2021. I connect to it with the included USB C cable and the monitor works great for what I do with it. Added bonus is that the USB type A ports on the back of the monitor all work when connected via USB so I am using one for my keyboard and the other for syncing my iPhone or iPad.

Q: I noticed on the back of this screen there aren't holes to mount this monitor, like a tv, to the wall. Is there a wall mount for this monitor?

The LG 27” IPS 4K UHD VESA HDR400 USB-C Monitor, Model # 27UN850-W is a VESA compliant monitor that has a VESA Wall Mount Interface Pattern of 100 x 100 mm that can be used to mount the monitor on a wall with VESA complaint Wall Mounts that support the VESA Wall Mount Interface Pattern (i.e.bolt holes) that is supported on the monitor. You can't see the bolt holes on the back of the monitor because they are covered by the mount plate for the stand. If you visit it's product detail page on the LG site, you can use the right navigation arrow to scroll to the eighth image to the right of the main image & zoom in (enlarge) on the image where you can see the plate in more detail...^IFV

Question 1

What's the difference between this 27un850 model and the 27ul850? i know the un is 2020, but they seem to be exactly the same

Accepted Answer

I had the exact same question in September when I was looking for a new monitor. I went to LG's website and found that both monitors had the exact same specs. (The only difference between the spec sheets is merely linguistic--one has "Radeon Freesync" and the other has "AMD Freesync," which are the same thing). I decided to go with the 27UN850 instead of the 27 UL850 on the off chance there were minor improvements to the internals, but, again, I couldn't find any difference on the spec sheets.

Question 2

is the stand detatchable? i have a monitor arm i want to attach it to

Accepted Answer

The monitor has the vesa mount standard 100x100mm. You can take this mount > topproducts24com/mounting-dream-md2463/ < I'm very happy with it.
