Overall Impression

The LG 27U631A-B draws interest from shoppers upgrading from older LG displays and those considering it as an extra screen alongside a primary monitor for more workspace. Several buyers try connecting it to a MacBook Air M1 via USB-C, but report the refresh rate is capped at 60Hz instead of the advertised 100Hz. Some users also report that the Type-C port fails to output a display signal on their setup and ask if any special settings are needed. Reported response time appears inconsistent, staying fast mainly when the monitor runs in its full 100Hz mode. At other refresh rates, users note noticeable inverse ghosting during motion. One user experienced the screen randomly turning off for 2-3 seconds roughly every two hours, alongside a general complaint of long response time.
