Product Information

The high refresh rate and contrast make for smooth scrolling and great video performance too. I’m not a gamer – so would be interested in your thoughts on this monitor if you are, although you would probably be more interested in the G27q-20, which come with an IPS panel. Having said that, there are plenty of gaming specific settings in the menus to help you get the best use out of it. Connectivity Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). The biggest weakness of the Lenovo G27q-30 is its slower pixel response time due to its panel type. Some blurring and ghosting were observed when the refresh rate dropped below 120Hz or in fast-paced and contrasting transitions. However, adding a bit of overdrive helped, so that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. 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.

Calibrating the monitor with the Calibrite Display Plus dropped that dE average to a more impressive 0.7, making it suitable for editing work and content creation. However, the colorimeter’s MSRP is around the same as what the monitor costs. It is only going to be worth it if you are into color-critical work.

Added that the HP OMEN 27q has better Color Accuracy before calibration and a more customizable sRGB mode.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 Lenovo G27q-30 rendered 99% of sRGB and 85% of P3, so it falls short of the company’s claimed color spec. However, it has an excellent default accuracy with a dE average of 1.18, so it is ready to go right away. We didn’t have to do anything to start playing games, so this model is highly suitable even for beginners. Information about the average amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. 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.
