Product Overview

Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 is a mainstream 27-inch QHD gaming monitor in Lenovo's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel with 165Hz maximum refresh rate.

In terms of color reproduction, one can except above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. With a fast 1 ms response time, this display is a good gaming option. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.

Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

The Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 has a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1440p resolution. It's certified through a solution Nvidia calls “G-Sync Compatible” This means it's a VRR (variable refresh rate) monitor that Nvidia has validated for flickering, ghosting, and tearing. At 99% of sRGB and 77% of AdobeRGB, it's as colorful a screen as you can expect from a gaming monitor.

Pros

Beautiful 165Hz panel
Fast response time
Solid gaming performance

Cons

Mediocre contrast
Poor color accuracy

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 has a large screen and high resolution that allow you work comfortably. It has good ergonomics and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for sharing content or playing co-op games. Its low input lag and high refresh rate make gaming feel incredibly responsive, and it supports variable refresh rate technology to reduce screen tearing. Unfortunately, the contrast ratio is low and black uniformity is sub-par, so blacks appear grayish.

Pros

Out-of-the-box accuracy
Large screen and high resolution
Wide viewing angles
Great ergonomics and wide viewing angle
High refresh rate and exceptional response time

Cons

Low contrast ratio and poor black uniformity
No local dimming
Mediocre color reproduction
