HP Envy 27 vs LG 27MD5KA-B

If you connect the HP Envy27 to a USB-C compatible laptop, the monitor will both receive video and audio signal from a computer and charge it - over a single cable. The monitor has enough 'juice' to power a 2018's MacBook Pro.

Compared to the other monitors in its price range, the HP Envy 27 offers excellent overall picture quality thanks to its high-resolution IPS panel. The panel delivers eye-catching scenes with bright and vibrant colors as well as some deep blacks. Furthermore, the image doesn't degrade in a bright room, where the monitor's reasonable peak brightness and anti-reflective coating do a good job ob fighting glare and reflections.

On this monitor, the pictures appear incredibly sharp thanks to the enormously high pixel density of the LG 27MD5KA-B. The monitor's pixel density measures at 217.57 pixels per inch which corresponds even to the high standards of the Apple's Retina displays.

The LG 27MD5KA-B does have enough juice to power a laptop through its Thunderbolt3 compatible USB-C port. Through a single cable, the monitor can receive a video signal from a 2018's MacBook Pro, power it, and work as a USB hub.
