Lenovo Legion R27q-30 27 inch Gaming Monitor | QHD, 1440p, 165Hz, IPS, 0.5ms, HDMI, DP | AMD Freesync Premium | PS5, Xbox, PC screen

Read and watched a lot of reviews before buying this one - and not disappointed.In 2k resolution its absolutely beautiful, and in 1080p it still looks pretty good.Stand was very easy to assemble with no tools or manual reading required. There were various strips of plastic to peel off although interestingly not on the screen itself. Stand height can be slid down so screen is just couple of inches above desk height, which is great, and the other adjustements worked well also.A driver and an app downloaded automatically from Windows Update. I welcomed the driver, and the app I just asked not to autorun and it didn't so that was all nice.I did need to set the Windows resolution to 2k, and set the refresh rate to 165Hz in the Windows Settings as it defaulted to 60Hz (this may be normal Windows behaviour not sure). This will allow any games not using G-Sync (Freesync) to also run up to 165Hz, and also I believe helps with eyestrain from a more solid image when in regular Windows.The default brightness was too high for me, so I turned that down to 50% but nothing else needed changing.I don't often play games which need a high fps, but its nice to not need to turn V-Sync on anymore for most games (I hate tearing more than stutter, so always used to need to with a 75hz monitor), and for Fullscreen mode the G-Sync function worked out of the box with the basic GeForce driver and Windows Update monitor driver (apparently the tech doesnt work quite as well generally for Windowed so I didnt change that option but its there).I don't use the monitor speakers so I cant review that aspect.Incidentally power supply is a standard kettle power lead, which I consider a positive compared to many similar spec monitors with external custom power supplies. There's no humming or other noise incidentally from the monitor.Overall, delighted with it.

The media could not be loaded. The ride side of my screen is keep flickering

I got this monitor at £100 off and I haven't regretted it at all. The extra width allows me to see at least two documents/windows side by side and the height adjustment and tilt is terrific - a lot of monitor don't have height adjustment on them - and as I like my monitor to sit low on my desk, this is perfect. The colour is perfect out of the box and the there is a little joystick device on the back which you press to get access to the on-screen controls. If you use a DP cable, you can use the sound off your video card as it plays through the monitor.The only negatives I have is that it doesn't support G-Sync and the switching from one full screen program to another, or the desktop, has a 1-2 second delay before the screen displays again.However, for just under £200, it is a bargain and is an excellent wide screen 27" monitor.

This monitor looks absolutely amazing, great black levels, great colours and minimal borders. One of the HDMI ports supports 1440p @165Hz however the other only supports 1080p.I bought this monitor for my Xbox Series X thinking that this was one that would support consoles (there is a problem with buying 1440p monitors for console where most will only allow 1440p @60Hz or 1080p @120Hz) however I was disappointed to find that 1440p @120Hz was not possible on this monitor. Which isn’t a big deal really as there aren’t a lot of 120fps Xbox games that run at anything more than 1080p, but it would’ve been nice. This isn’t anything wrong with the monitor, its working exactly as it should, its just a problem with consoles being awkward and only accepting a frame rate of 199.98 or something like that, any other number just doesn’t work. So if you’re looking for a monitor that specifically can run 1440p @120Hz on consoles, look else where and make sure you get one that absolutely 100% works with consoles in this way. I’m honestly not sure why people don’t talk about this more.PS, if you’re gonna use this for PC you wont have a problem as PC’s don’t need incredibly specific frame rates, a PC could use all 1440p @165Hz of this monitor no problemAll in all, i should’ve done more research but it’s not a dealbreaker to me at least. The monitor looks fantastic, can’t see any ghosting even in low-light scenarios. The speakers are fine, nothing crazy but good to have. And the HDR isn’t worth it as is the same for any monitor at this price. (Also contrast set to 65 looks best to me).

Negative reviews appear logistics related, which is fair enough. Regarding the quality of the product itself, given it arrives in good nick like mine, it is fantastic. Great build quality, a crystal clear picture and all-round what you would expect from Lenovo’s legion lineup, which is great. Given its price, it’s a reliable and beautiful monitor, whilst also being relatively well priced.

Works really well for work and play.At work I do lots of emails/spreadsheets etc. Big enough to get to programmes on one screen.Running the PS5 works really well. Noticed a difference from the standard monitor I was using.

The media could not be loaded. Was very excited to get this monitor to have it fail after 90 secs now gotta wait 14 days for refund pfft

It arrived minus a power cable.The refund will take seven days, a replacement would of been a better option.
