LG 27UP850K-W | 27-inch 4K UHD IPS | 90W USB-C Power Delivery | VESA DisplayHDR 400
A single-cable desk screen for laptops, with factory colour calibration and a stand that lifts, tilts and rotates.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
LG 27UP850K-W, a 27-inch 4K UHD IPS monitor with 90W USB-C charging, is available at Mascom International for KSh 71,000, brand new and sealed. It comes from LG's UltraFine range and pairs VESA DisplayHDR 400 with 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage. The panel shows 3840 x 2160 pixels at 60Hz, which keeps spreadsheet text crisp and photos sharp at full size. One USB-C cable carries picture, data and laptop power at the same time. You can see the LG 27UP850K-W running at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for photographers, graphic designers, architects, accountants and developers across Kenya, the LG 27UP850K-W fixes a common desk problem. A 14-inch laptop screen feels cramped after a long editing session, and a tangle of chargers and adapters eats desk space. Here, a MacBook or USB-C Windows laptop plugs in once and charges while it drives the 4K picture. The two USB 3.0 ports on the monitor then take a keyboard, mouse or flash drive. Designers in Westlands studios and auditors in Upper Hill offices get colour they can trust, because each LG 27UP850K-W ships with a paper calibration report.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell 4K monitors without explaining what the colour or charging figures mean, Mascom International walks you through both before you pay. At Mascom International, we're seeing more freelancers and hybrid workers swap a second laptop for one good 4K screen, and the LG 27UP850K-W is a frequent pick at its price. Customers across Nairobi tell us the single-cable setup alone saves them time every morning. Visit the Kimathi Street showroom to compare it with other LG panels side by side, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the LG 27UP850K-W
How much is the LG 27UP850K-W in Kenya?
The LG 27UP850K-W costs KSh 71,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. That price includes the 24-month Mascom International warranty, the power adapter, and HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C cables, so you need nothing extra to connect a laptop or desktop. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya. The LG 34U640B-B curved ultrawide sits at the same KSh 71,000, while the LG 32SR85U-W with webOS costs KSh 8,000 more at KSh 79,000.
Should I buy the LG 27UP850K-W or the LG 34U640B-B?
Pick the LG 27UP850K-W for sharp detail and colour work, and the LG 34U640B-B for width and faster motion. Both cost KSh 71,000 at Mascom International. The 27UP850K-W packs 3840 x 2160 pixels into 27 inches, covers 95% DCI-P3 and charges laptops at 90W. The 34U640B-B spreads 3440 x 1440 pixels across a curved 21:9 VA panel, runs at 144Hz and charges at 65W. Photo editors and designers should take the 27UP850K-W; traders, coders and casual gamers suit the curved model.
Will the LG 27UP850K-W charge my laptop through USB-C?
Yes, the LG 27UP850K-W delivers up to 90W through its USB-C port while also carrying 4K video and data. That covers most 13 to 15-inch laptops, including the MacBook Air and USB-C business laptops such as the HP EliteBook and Lenovo ThinkPad. Your laptop's USB-C port must support video output, often marked DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt, for the picture to show. Bring your laptop to Mascom International on Kimathi Street and we will test the connection before you pay.
How does the LG 27UP850K-W handle KPLC power cuts and voltage swings?
The LG 27UP850K-W runs on an external adapter rated for 100-240V at 50/60Hz, so it works directly on Kenya's 240V mains. A KPLC power cut simply switches the screen off; the monitor stores no work, so save files on your computer often. We still advise a surge protector or a UPS, since power returning with a spike after an outage can stress any electronics. In sleep mode it draws under 0.5W, which adds almost nothing to a prepaid token meter.
Is the LG 27UP850K-W good for photo and video editing?
Yes, the LG 27UP850K-W suits photo and video editing because it covers 95% of the DCI-P3 cinema colour range and shows 1.07 billion colours. In plain terms, reds, greens and skin tones look closer to how they will print or appear on modern phones. LG ships each unit with a paper calibration report showing it was checked at the factory. Wedding photographers, YouTube editors and agency designers use this class of screen for colour-critical client work.
Can I game on the LG 27UP850K-W?
You can game on the LG 27UP850K-W, but it is a 60Hz screen built for detail rather than speed. A PlayStation 5, Xbox or gaming PC connected over HDMI or DisplayPort shows a sharp 4K picture that suits story and adventure titles. Response time is 5ms grey-to-grey, quick enough for casual play. Competitive players of fast online shooters will feel the limit. If gaming is your main use, the LG 34U640B-B at the same price runs at 144Hz.
Who should buy the LG 27UP850K-W and who should skip it?
Buy the LG 27UP850K-W if you edit photos, design, code or work in large spreadsheets and want one-cable laptop charging. Skip it if you mainly play fast online shooters; a 144Hz model such as the LG 34U640B-B serves you better. Skip it too if you want to stream Netflix or YouTube without a computer, because this monitor has no built-in apps. The LG 32SR85U-W, also stocked at Mascom International, runs LG's webOS for that job.
Does the LG 27UP850K-W have speakers, and what ports does it include?
The LG 27UP850K-W has two 5W speakers with MaxxAudio, plus a headphone jack for private listening. For inputs it carries two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 and one USB-C port with video, data and 90W charging. Two USB 3.0 downstream ports let you plug a keyboard, mouse or webcam into the monitor instead of the laptop. A student at Strathmore or JKUAT can wire the whole desk once and then connect a laptop with one cable.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel
- 27-inch IPS panel — IPS keeps colours steady when viewed from the side, useful when a client looks over your shoulder.
- 3840 x 2160 4K UHD resolution — four times the pixels of Full HD, so small text and fine photo detail stay sharp.
- 400 cd/m² typical brightness — bright enough for a sunlit room facing a window without straining your eyes during long sessions.
- 1200:1 typical contrast ratio — the gap between the brightest white and darkest black the screen can show at the same time.
- 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms grey-to-grey response — smooth for office work, editing and casual games, but not built for esports.
Colour and Picture Processing
- 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage — the cinema colour standard, so reds, greens and skin tones match what modern cameras capture.
- 1.07 billion colours through 8-bit plus FRC — smooth gradients in skies and skin, with less visible banding in edited photos.
- VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification — an independent test confirming real HDR brightness, so highlights in HDR video stand out properly.
- HDR10 support — plays HDR10 content from streaming services, cameras and games with a wider range of light and shade.
- Factory calibration with a paper report in the box — written proof the colours were checked before shipping, handy for client-facing design work.
Audio
- Two 5W stereo speakers — enough for video calls, online tutorials and background music at a desk.
- MaxxAudio processing — software tuning that gives the small speakers a fuller sound for calls and video.
- 3-pole headphone jack — plug in wired headphones for private listening in a shared office or a hostel room.
- Sound from HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C sources — the monitor plays audio from whichever device is connected, with no separate audio cable.
- Built-in speakers suit calls and casual video — for music or films, a separate Bluetooth speaker adds the bass small drivers lack.
Software and Productivity Tools
- No built-in apps or webOS — the monitor relies on your computer, phone or console and does not stream on its own.
- LG OnScreen Control — desktop software for changing brightness, picture modes and screen splits with a mouse instead of buttons.
- Reader Mode — cuts blue light for long reading sessions on contracts, reports and coursework.
- Flicker Safe — reduces on-screen flicker, which helps with eye fatigue across a full working day.
- Black Stabilizer — lifts detail in dark scenes so shadows in photos and games do not turn into flat black.
Connectivity
- Two HDMI ports — connect a desktop and a games console or TV decoder at once and switch between them.
- One DisplayPort 1.4 — the preferred link for desktop graphics cards, carrying full 4K resolution at 60Hz.
- USB-C with 90W power delivery — one cable carries 4K video at 60Hz, data and laptop charging together.
- Two USB 3.0 downstream ports — keyboard, mouse or flash drive plug into the monitor and reach the laptop through USB-C.
- 5Gbps USB 3.0 transfer speed — fast enough to move large photo and video folders from a drive plugged into the monitor.
Build
- Height, tilt and pivot adjustable stand — raise the screen to eye level, or turn it to portrait for code and long documents.
- VESA 100 x 100 mm mount — fits standard wall brackets and monitor arms for a tidier desk.
- 5.9 kg with stand and 4.1 kg without — light enough for one person to move between home and office.
- 613.5 mm wide and 45.4 mm deep without the stand — leaves room for a laptop beside it on a standard office desk.
- External 100-240V power adapter — draws under 0.5W in sleep mode and under 0.3W when switched off.
