GamesRadar+ Verdict

As far as cheap QHD monitors go, the Lenovo Legion R27qe packs a pretty nice 1440p 180Hz punch. It manages to serve up pretty nice colors for an IPS dis🐠play under $200 and it’s responsive enough to keep up in competitive shooters. It’s not the best option for anyone seeking super bright visuals, fla༺wless contrast, and proper HDR, though, so keep that in mind if you’re battling a specific lighting situation at your setup.
