The LG monitor came in a standard LG Box. The box gave little way in terms of features other than a Gaming Monitor. The 27″ Screen Size is perfect for viewing close but not large enough to view across a room. The Monitor is not a 4k Monitor rather Full HD (1920×1080) Resolution. The Monitor came with ample connector in the rear and a useful headphone out socket. The bracket design as expected from LG is off an excellent design.
