I’ve been testing Lenovo Legion’s 200Hz QHD monitor for a week — and it 'puts most other budget screens to shame'

A Lenovo Legion R27qe Gen 2 gaming monitor.

As someone who has a sedentary job, I spend up to eight hours a day, five days a week, in front of a screen, and I do a lot of photo editing and enjoy gaming in my spare time. This is why I need one of the best monitors. It must be bright, colors must be accurate and it should be able to keep up with demanding games — the Lenovo Legion R27qe Gen 2 does just that.

Succeeding the first-gen model, the R27qe Gen 2 is an excellent monitor for a number of reasons. It’s got a 200Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time, making it a great choice for FPS, RPGs and everything in between. Color accuracy and coverage, as well as brightness, don’t give you much to complain about. Plus, the monitor’s height and viewing angles are highly adjustable. But it’s far from perfect, as the lack of built-in speakers and USB ports might prove significant for some.
