Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 34-inch Mini-LED Gaming Monitor with 1200 nits Brightness

Lenovo has officially unveiled the Legion Y34wz-30, providing a comprehensive product page that reveals the complete specifications for this 34-inch Mini-LED gaming monitor announced earlier this year.

The newly disclosed details include the monitor’s VA panel with a 1500 R curvature and a backlight equipped with 384 mini-LEDs. Given this setup, the appearance of halo effects around the mouse cursor seems likely.

Notable features comprise a UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels in a 21:9 aspect ratio, a maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz, a peak brightness of 1200 cd/m², a contrast ratio of 3000:1 (attributable to the VA panel), and a response time of 2 ms (gray to gray) coupled with 8-bit color depth through FRC (10-bit overall).

This DisplayHDR-1000 and ClearMR-7000 certified monitor also supports FreeSync Premium Pro, boasts two internal 5-watt speakers, and delivers 99 percent sRGB, and 95 percent DCI-P3 coverage, aiming for a delta E-value of less than 2.

Connectivity options are extensive, offering two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, a USB 3.2 hub (Gen 1), a 2.5 Gbit/s RJ-45 socket, a headphone output, and USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode and 140 watts PD.

Moreover, it acts as a docking station for notebooks, integrating a KVM switch, picture-in-picture, and picture-along-image modes. Surprisingly good in terms of ergonomics, it includes tilt, rotation, height adjustment, VESA mounting (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlight. The typical power consumption of this 34-inch device is currently rated at 55 watts.

The Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 also boasts RGB lighting, and an automatic brightness sensor, and weighs 8.2 kg without its stand.
