I'm looking for a 4k monitor (to use with a 2017 macbook), similar to the LG 5K. I don't care about webcam or speakers.

I want the glossy screen, 500 nits and high color accuracy. Any monitor have the same screen but in 4k and 27 inches?

LG 27UL850-W (or nearly identical and cheaper LG 27UK850-W) is probably your best bet. At 400 nits (DisplayHDR 400 certified), it's a tad below your 500 nits requirement, but it has many other things that make it ideal for 2017 MacBook.
  • USB-C that can charge your MacBook
  • 2 USB-A ports
  • Built-in speakers
  • Great color accuracy, especially after you calibrate it
  • Slimmer bezel than LG UltraFine series.
