Lenovo’s Y27G monitor is a high-end offering into the world of gaming monitors. The Y27 series makes good on gamer’s desires with a 144hz refresh rate, frame rate smoothing tech and a big, angular design that cuts sharp lines.

If you run with AMD graphics, the FreeSync Y27f will set you back $399 (£349, about AU$520). The NVIDIA G-Sync enabled Y27G, which Lenovo sent us for review, carries an MSRP of $599 (£599, about AU$785), and the Chroma-enabled Y27G RE comes in at $649 (£649, AU$1,299).
Other than the anti-screen tearing tech and 144Hz refresh rate, the rest of the specs aren’t nearly as exciting. It’s rated for a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, response rate of 4ms, and max resolution is a standard 1,920 x 1,080 for Full HD gaming. For $599, those specs should be better. At the very least, a 1440p option would help justify the huge price tag.
