LG 27HS713C-B 27" Black 2026

A top-tier 4K productivity monitor with a built-in webcam and KVM that justifies its high price only for the most dedicated remote workers. Everyone else is paying a huge premium for features they won't use.

The display itself is the star of the show, landing in the 90th percentile for our display metric. That 4K resolution on a 27-inch screen means text is razor-sharp and you've got a ton of screen real estate. Color performance is also well above average, so photos and presentations look great. The real surprise, though, is how sluggish it feels for anything outside of office work. A 60Hz refresh rate is standard for productivity, but combined with a 5ms response time, it's a weak spot that lands it in the bottom quarter of monitors we've tested for overall performance. Scrolling through long documents is fine, but any fast motion looks a little smeary. This thing is a workhorse, not a racehorse.

The LG's biggest competition comes from the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, which is a massive ultrawide that also targets professionals but with a higher refresh rate and a bigger, more immersive canvas. The LG fights back with its built-in webcam and a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio that some people just prefer for sharing screens. On the other end, if you're even slightly tempted by gaming, the Samsung Odyssey G60SD or Gigabyte MO27U2 SA will run circles around this LG with their OLED panels and high refresh rates, though you'll lose the integrated webcam and KVM. The LG is in its own little lane, and it's the best choice only if that lane is exactly where you live.

Without a firm price, it's tough to call this a slam dunk, but the listed range of around $1400 is a big ask. You're paying a serious premium for the integrated webcam and KVM. If those features are must-haves that replace separate devices on your desk, the value proposition gets a lot stronger. If you don't need the built-in conferencing gear, you can get a better-looking, faster 4K monitor for hundreds less. This is a convenience tax, and only you know if your workflow justifies it.

The LG 27HS713C-B is a weirdly specific monitor that makes total sense once you see who it's actually for. It's a 27-inch 4K IPS panel with a built-in webcam, USB-C, and a KVM switch, all wrapped in a package clearly aimed at professionals who spend their days in video calls and need a clean desk setup. This isn't a gaming monitor, and it doesn't pretend to be. The 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time are dead giveaways. What you're really paying for here is the integrated conferencing hardware and that crisp 4K screen for text and images. It's a niche product, but for the right home office, it solves a handful of problems at once.

If you're looking for a monitor that can pull double duty for gaming and work, this isn't it. Go get a Gigabyte M Series OLED or a Samsung Odyssey G60SD instead. You'll sacrifice the built-in webcam but gain a display that's dramatically better for games and media, with high refresh rates and true HDR that make everything look stunning.

The LG 27HS713C-B is a purpose-built tool for the video-call warrior. If your day is a blur of Zoom, Teams, and Slack huddles, and you crave a minimalist desk with a single cable to your laptop, this monitor is a fantastic, if expensive, solution. The 4K panel is gorgeous for productivity, and the KVM switch is a genuine workflow upgrade. But if your work doesn't revolve around a webcam, or you like to game after hours, look elsewhere. This is a specialist, and it's brilliant at its specialty, but it's a poor fit for anyone outside that narrow focus.
