To make use of all this performance, you need a good monitor to go with it and Lenovo have released the Y27g Curved Gaming Monitor to serve that purpose. Like the name suggests, the monitor has a screen size of 27″ and a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9, refresh rate of 144Hz, a curvature of 1800R, contrast ratio of 3000:1 and a maximum brightness of 300 nits. The display has an anti-glare coating and a response time of 8ms coupled with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology. There is a Y27g Razer Edition also available that replaces the red lighting with Razer’s own Chroma Lighting effects.
