This thing looks amazing with my new PC. The HDR looks great. I get the max 165FPS on Warzone. Couldn’t be happier with the monitor!

I am not sure why this monitor has such good reviews, mine has a horrible IPS Glow and it's noticeable pretty much all the time. And at certain angles, it's worse. Maybe mine is defective I don't know, but the strength of the IPS glow makes using it not a fun experience. Minus the IPS glow it's a pretty smooth playing experience but that is over shined by the negative. Just in general the darker colors look hazy.

Im a huge panel nerd. IT experience and A/V engineering aside, lenovo still and always will make some of the best quality products ive ever seen and probably will remain that way for years to come. The the 1440 resolution is incredible. Honestly it looks better than 4k. Refresh rate never fails to be capped as usual (rtx 3080, ryzen 3800xt, 850psu and 4000 mhz 32 gb ram) the colors and viewing angles on this ips panel are incredible. Even the black levels are some of the best ive ever seen. This monitor wasnt worth waiting 6 months of reading and studying and worrying over before i purchased it. The build quality is out of this world. Ease of use is 5/5 hands down. Its by far the easieast monitor to mount and/or attach to its base. Movement on the base is amazing. Goes real tall and low, spins easy but obviously its a little tough to make sure it doesnt unintentionally turn on its own or when bumped. The packing in the box for protection was insane. A little hard to get out of the box but what fun is an easy box? Simply said, read the title. Not too much and not to little. Nuff said! BUY IT IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A 2K HIGH REFRESH MONITOR.

I ended up paying almost $600 after taxes and right now the monitor is $150 off so it's $399.99. Maybe at that price it is worth it but I just have minor annoyances that kind of stack up to make me want to return this monitor soon. Pros: - Stand is pretty good, probably the best out of lots of the 1440p/144Hz+ options. - Can do 1440p at 165Hz with 10 bit color (HDR enabled in Windows) - quite nice and might be the only monitor that can have all of it enabled at once. 165Hz is stupid in my opinion as 144, or even 120Hz, is enough but this is nice to have. - Gaming experience seems to be pretty good. I primarily play CS:GO nowadays and I have a good time with that - have played RDR2 on it as well and it looks good. - Doesn't use a joystick for controlling the monitor settings but you can have quite a few shortcut keys when you have multiple monitor buttons so that is nice. Cons: - The software for this monitor is not good. Apparently it used to be worse but all you can really change is the brightness and contrast of the non-preset profiles. If you switch it to like the FPS profile then you cannot (WHY???). The software causes a bit of lag when it's in the foreground so I don't leave it running as well. - The brightness and contrast gets reset every single time the computer goes to sleep or if you restart (and I think even if you turn the monitor off and back on). It's really annoying, especially since it defaults to 85 contrast and like 65 brightness, so having this occur in the evenings is blinding. I do have light sensitive eyes so this is a major complaint for me but some probably won't care too much. - Monitor is not great for movies, the contrast is pretty disappointing. I have used an LG OLED and even got a chance to play games on it so I'm spoiled since then but this monitor is not great for that side of things. Unforunately it seems like monitor tech needs to improve quite a bit more to get a perfect monitor that's great for games along with movies (unless you wanna spend $1.3k or more on a new LG OLED that utilizes gsync). - The monitor settings are generally limited as well and lots of options get greyed out depending on which preset is selected - for example, the FPS profile greys out the overdrive setting and cranks the constrat/brightness high. - The extreme overdrive setting is terrible - there's only three options total with one of them being "off" so you really can only use normal. Personally I am fairly disappointed with the monitor at the standard $550 cost before tax. I'll be returning it and I'm pretty tempted to try the new G7 Odyssey monitor from Samsung since it uses QLED and appears to give a good gameplay experience. Unforunately it has that abysmal aggressive curve and is pricey so I am not sold on it at the moment.

After having gotten bummed out about the past few "gaming" monitors I had purchased online and having to return them, I decided to take a look at our local Best Buy for options and hopefully be able to see one setup in person. Luckily this one was setup at the store to look at and was setup properly. At the time of purchase this was $429 and that was admittedly a little over my budget but I couldn't pass it up when I saw how much better it looked that what I had used before. Unlike my previous 144hz monitors, this has almost none existent trailing and ghosting issues. I say almost though because the "Extreme" overdrive setting is useless due to horrific pixel overshoot. The normal setting seems to be perfectly fine though. There is some ever so slight trailing in very specific grey to grey or grey to black pixel transitions if you look very closely but this is perfectly acceptable. I was also very surprised how little I felt I needed to adjust any of the factory image settings. I toned the brightness down a little and that was about it. For anyway who may care, there is no setting for sharpness but I do not feel as though it needs adjusted. Although it doesn't seem to be noted on the product page, or on the product box for that matter (lenova is very tame with the product packaging), the panel does let you turn HDR on in windows 10 with 10 bit color enabled no less. I haven't fully tested the HDR content on this so I cant speak to how good it looks in games yet but I was able to load up some youtube videos that were encoded in 60fps with HDR and they did look very stunning. Gaming on this monitor is a real treat compared to the 144hz AOC 1080p monitor I used to use. Not only did I realize how much my old monitor ghosted and had trailing issues, I also noticed how much color and detail I was simply not seeing at all in a lot of my games, especially in dark areas. I've actually felt myself lining up shots with more accuracy now cause I feel like I can see things much clearer. Only other thing that I can't really weigh in on is the stand as I am using a vesa mount to my desk. I did grab the stand out of the box at some point and its very heavy and solid. I have no doubts that there would be very little or any issues with wobbling. I'll add more later if I feel like I forgot anything.

Probably one of the best 1440p 165hz monitors you can actually buy.It comes with displayport 1.4 and hdmi 2.0.This monitor can actually do 165hz,10bit color,1440p all at the same time.Other 1440p monitors can only do 165hz only on 8bit color and 10bit at 144hz or 120hz. Make sure to leave overdrive on normal,extreme is useless because of so much ghosting.For pc gaming this is great,I've even read that you can hook this up to ps4 and it can receive a 4k signal and hdr. I actually like the buttons on this monitor it beats the joystick every time on my last monitor.I only got a very tiny amount of ips glow on the bottom left corner which you don't even notice.It's anti-glare coating is very light which is good,which you don't notice unlike my old dell which had a heavy anti-glare coating. Build quality is great also heavy metal stand,no creaks that i can hear.Buttons which I actually like. if you can wait till it goes onsale its a killer deal if i can find it at the sale price . i would buy a second one to have a dual monitor setup and both monitors look uniform at full price in the near future personally For $399.99 this is the best you can get for 27in,1440p,165hz,10bit color.

I've had this monitor for about a month. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and recommend it if you're looking for a 27'' QHD gaming monitor. Good value. Pros: - Better build quality than similar LG models. Especially the sturdy stand. - Nice Colors, IPS panel doesn't disappoint. Contrast is decent - BL bleeding minimal for an IPS; doesn't bother me personally, but subject to each person - Smooth motion in gaming. Cons: - A smaller bezel would be nice, but the overall design for this monitor series is a good start. - Button menu kind of bland and hard to navigate. Software UI pretty buggy. Hope Lenovo keeps working on the latter. - Black screen issues with GTX 10xx series GPUs, went away for me with a software fix found online/limiting refresh rate to 144 Hz.

The only CON that I have is that gysnc does induce a black screen on games that have a huge variation in fps.But so far people have said this is only with 10 series nvidia graphics cards.I have a 1080ti with the latests drivers and i get black screens with gysnc enabled. 20 series nvidia cards seem to be ok. For $399.99 this is the best you can get for 27in,1440p,165hz,10bit color.

At 500 it's a tough sell considering the 240Hz monitors available for less today. However at 300 this was a great buy. Came with firmware 1.5 loaded which appears to have solved all the issues with older Nvidia cards flickering at 165Hz. Using a GTX 1660 Super and included Display Port cable it immediately set itself up for 165Hz 1440p, GSync enabled. Zero issues. If you sit too close you'll see some "IPS glow", parts of the screen will have a reddish brown look. You have a 27" monitor, relax and sit at a proper viewing distance and it's a non-issue. This monitor really made a big difference in terms of enjoying using the pc. The stand is metal and goes together without tools and has a lot of adjustability.

I love the colors and clarity on this monitor. It has a high refresh rate and the build quality is amazing. The only issue I run into every so often (especially in HDR mode) is that the screen will suddenly go black for a couple of seconds. Not using HDR helps, but i also upgraded the monitor firmware, and this seemed to help.
PvPWar Posted
Very good monitor. The total brightness is a little low and my biggest complaint is the hdr and a 30 sec black screen when changing hdr or any other core settings. I’ve done other research on this monitor and definitely could have gotten better for 50-100 more but as a start off monitor it was definitely worth it to me.

I was looking through monitors and was excited when I found this one. It checked all the boxes. 1440p 165hz 1ms IPS(The LG NanoIPS Panel) G-Sync Compatible Extremely Low Input lag While it does have HDR but its not the best. Color is great out of the box and comes pre-calibrated. The stand just takes up so much desk space. I mean a ridiculous amount of desk space.

Great image quality out of the box, 165hz with no fuss, incredible build quality. Contrast is good for an ips, beautiful colors as well. Only real con is backlight bleed, but that’s an inherent issue with ips monitors. Would recommend at any price, but for $400 it’s hard to beat.

I love and hate this monitor. I love everything about it but the HDR. My 1080p asus monitor has better colors and brightness than this. Yet its a very good monitor that doesnt break the bank and can run everything my xbox series x throws at it. So i use my 1080p monitor for my computer and this legion for my console. Just wish the HDR was a tad better.

Got this monitor on special for 400 and was blown away. Very good build quality and easy to navigate menu. Tilt is fantastic and the height adjustment is also great. IPS screen within great colors and a fast 165hz refresh rate with no overclocking needed.

Amazing colors, I use this as a primary monitor in a dual screen setup. I find the screen to be bright and full of color. Perfect for work and the occasional gameplay. 10/10

It's a decent Nano IPS monitor (compare to LG 27GL83A-B and similar). However, it has long flickers at 165 Hz where it appears to lose signal temporarily. Some initial research online shows that it may have compatibility issues with NVIDIA Pascal (10xx series cards). When I used it, the Normal overdrive setting was pretty fast with minimal (but still noticeable) ghosting, but did not have any overshoot. The Faster overdrive results in really bad inverse ghosting with terrible overshoot. If you're looking for a Nano IPS monitor at 144 Hz, this is a pretty solid deal, but the 165 Hz didn't really work for me. I ended up returning it for another monitor after a couple days.

Great monitor for the price. Really needed this monitor for the docking station extra for work from home.

This is basically an LG Ultra Gear Nano IPS - same screen I believe but with a higher top refresh rate. Right off the bat its important to mention, I'm observing the same issue as another mentioned where it flickers at 165hz. Meaning now and then you see a solid line flash across the screen. Its enough to where it is a distraction and quite honestly 144hz is fine. It should just not be marketed as 165hz as it sure, can do it. . . but it appears to be beyond the limits of what this display is capable of being stable displaying. I took off a star for that and for the price. I do think this panel is overpriced as the contrast levels are sub par and you're paying for the colors/hdr/and high refresh. $400 - $449 seems to be a sweeter spot. The monitor is pretty sturdy and the stand is cool. A little on the larger size. I don't quite know why the stands are so big, the small rectangle bases are stable and don't use up more than half your desk space. Just my preference. The monitor has Display port, HDMI, and USB ports, I appreciate having all of those so thank you Lenovo. I am also grateful for an external power supply should it ever fail. Another worthy mention of why buy this over the LG or Omen 1440p, 144/165hz Nano IPS monitors is. . . a lovely 3 year warranty. That is mainly what swayed me towards paying the $499 for this. I'm really disappointed LG and HP only offer 1 year on a $500 monitor. Its almost criminal considering how expensive it is when the display is far from perfect. . still referring to the contrast ratio. So good on Lenovo for this, you got my vote! I don't know if Lenovo has the best panels of these but overall it seems like they have some good QC on these units. Aside from 165hz flickering, (I think they just wanted another point on paper to separate themselves.) my panel is significantly more uniform than the LG Ultra Gear I got with the same display a while back. I mean even when you have to factor an 800:1 contrast ish causing black to be grey and IPS glow (that shimmery effect on a dark screen) it is actually the best I've seen. To top it off, it accepts 4k 120hz I believe for the new consoles (which is why another use mentioned it being set to 4k). This is great so you get excellent compatibility for next gen or possibly an upscaled version of your PC output. I just use 1440p@144hz. Overall, very well done Lenovo :) I'm impressed. I do wish the 165hz worked properly as I am fortunate to have a 3090 that will maintain COD at that framerate. The menu is fine I personally prefer the joystick LG has, its just quicker and I don't need to try to find buttons in the dark.

As a primary monitor it handles gaming very well would recommend
