Lenovo is expanding its gaming monitor lineup with the introduction of the Legion R45w-30 and 27-inch Legion R27q-30. This monitor boasts an IPS panel with WQHD resolution, specifically 2560 x 1440 pixels. Impressively, it achieves a maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz and carries DisplayHDR-400 certification.
In terms of specifications, the Lenovo R27q-30 offers a contrast ratio of 1000:1, a rapid 1 ms response time (gray to gray), a peak brightness rating of 400 cd/m², and a robust 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC).
Furthermore, the data sheet ensures an extensive color gamut, with 99 percent coverage of sRGB and 90 percent of DCI-P3. Its power efficiency stands at a reasonable 30 watts. To prevent tearing during gameplay, FreeSync Premium technology is in place. The monitor also features built-in speakers, albeit with a modest output of 3 watts each. Notably, there are no USB ports included in the interface.
Lenovo doesn’t compromise on ergonomics, offering tilt, rotation, height adjustment, pivot functionality, VESA mounting compatibility (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting for user comfort.
Weighing in at 3.9 kg without the stand, the Lenovo Legion R27q-30 includes a generous 3-year limited warranty.
