As with all our top hardware guides, theres something for everyone here.
On a tight budget?
you’re free to still nab yourself a quality 1080p monitor.
Theres also a lovely, rich vibrancy to the 27G4X.
Were not shopping photos, here, yeah?
Contrast passes muster as well, at 1284:1, as does peak brightness at 325.88cd/m2.
G-Sync compatibility, as well as a neat, fully adjustable stand, round out a top-notch screen overall.
And yes, theres FreeSync, which turns into G-Sync when connected to an Nvidia GPU.
Between the upped refresh rate and improvised G-Sync, it usually looks nice and smooth.
TheLenovo Legion Y25-30, by contrast, makes a compelling case for itself.
In games that support HDR, that can rise up to 467cd/m2: more than enough to shine.
And, of course, the 240Hz refresh rate is excellent for racing games and competitive shooters.
Tick that box, though, and its a strong niche-filler.
Not that many are necessary.
For an extra 100 / $60, though?
Thats as many pixels as two standard widescreen 1440p monitors glued together.
With FreeSync/G-Sync in action especially so.
It’s also rather well-priced for the specs.
Which is excellent, as its still a cracking 21:9 screen.
I have one myself!
Contrast is good too, reaching 3093:1, and peak non-HDR brightness is decent at 391.1cd/m2.
Not bad at all, for something that costshundredsless than the average 4K/144Hz monitor.
We also see how easy it is to get a monitor’s HDR working and configured correctly.
This is particularly important if they’re not one of Nvidia’s officially certified G-Sync Compatible monitors.
