Lenovo G27q-30 27 Inch Gaming Monitor | WQHD, 1440p, 165Hz, 1ms, HDMI, DP | AMD Freesync | PS5, Xbox, PC screen

Product Information

inch 1440p monitors are the current sweet spot between high-end and competitive gaming, so we’re glad that they have become very affordable. You get upgraded clarity and details with it, but the graphics card requirement isn’t as high as it is on a 4K display. It is also easier on the eyes for reading and writing, so it can also be a good option for home or school use. Updated to Test Bench 1.2, resulting in changes to the results and scores with the Response Time and Input Lag. Added tests for Console Compatibility and macOS compatibility and made minor changes to other tests, which you can see in our Changelog. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

The Lenovo G27q-30 isn’t too heavy at 12.8 pounds, so we can still consider it as a portable option for LAN parties or events. It’s slightly deeper than some budget models, but it is still within the acceptable range for shallower desks. It will be bigger than your standard display at school or work, but most should be able to accommodate it even if they have other desktop peripherals. Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Overall I’m really impressed with this screen at this price point. If you are working with media, office files or video then you won’t be disappointed. Yes, connectivity is limited – to get a screen this good and a full suit of inputs and a USB hub then you are going to have to spend quite a bit more. The Lenovo G27q-30 worked without hesitation when it was plugged in, and it switched right away to the proper port as soon as the computer fired up. The only downside with it is that it doesn’t have an HDMI cable, so you will need to buy one if you want to use this for a console.A LUT (Look Up Table) contains precalculated sets of values that are used to apply transformations to the input color data so that the resulting data meets certain (the desired) visual standard and color accuracy. For example, LUT can be used to emulate/map different color spaces and gamma settings. Many professional monitors as well as some TVs have programmable internal LUTs allowing more control over the image. Impressive. I am really, really impressed with this new monitor from Lenovo. I bought it to use in portrait mode alongside my main screen – a Dell U3219Q (4k 32″). It replaces an older dell 24″ 1080p monitor that was filling this role. My main use for the new G27q-30 is for graphic design and code and so the 123% sRGB colour gamut, 350cd/m 2 and 1000:1 contrast ratio really made this monitor stand out against any other screen at this price point. DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Perfect for e-sports and entertainment

The stand included with the Lenovo G27q-30 doesn’t pivot or swivel, but at least you can adjust its height aside from tilting the screen. That’s sufficient for single monitor setups, so it’s fine for most setups. You can use VESA mounts if you need more flexibility, but that’s added spending, so it is only recommended for special builds or instances.

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS).

Unparalleled convenience

Panel uniformity for the test sample had some minor issues in the lower right corner of the screen. It has a noticeable variance in brightness, but there was no actual clouding while the monitor was in use. Note that this can vary between every monitor made due to manufacturing tolerances, so there are better units out there.

The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. Following the usual online calibration tools, the G27q-30 is easy to set up for best performance (I didn’t have to change much and seems to be fairly well calibrated out of the box). In contrast, my dell U3219Q (several times the price of the Lenovo), whilst being an excellent monitor, has never quite given me the level of colour accuracy that I wanted. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.However, there are some cut corners with this model, such as its limited connectivity features and button design for the OSD. None of them are deal-breakers, but it’s something to consider if you are upgrading. But overall, it’s an excellent buy due to its low price and the essential performance that comes with it.
