Lenovo introduces two new IPS 27-inch gaming monitors

Lenovo has announced two new 27-inch gaming monitors with competitive prices. Both the G27-20 and the G27q-20 feature a similar design on the outside but come with different IPS panels for different price ranges.

Starting with the Lenovo G27-20, this monitor features a 27-inch 1080p IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms MPRT and 3ms G2G response time (Extreme mode). The true 8-bit IPS panel has a typical brightness of 400nits and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, covering 99% of the sRGB colour spectrum.

The Lenovo G27q-20 uses a 27-inch QHD panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms G2G response time in Extreme mode and 1ms MPRT. This IPS panel features a 10-bit depth (8-bit + FRC) and covers 99% of the sRGB colour gamut thanks to the typical brightness of 400nits and the 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Both monitors support AMD FreeSync Premium and HDR decoding. You can also adjust the monitors' settings through Lenovo Artery or Lenovo Display Control Centre. Both feature a similar ergonomic stand allowing users to tilt (-5º to 22º) and adjust the height (130mm) of the monitor. Additionally, both monitors feature VESA 100x100mm support, Kensington lock, and cable management features.

Available outputs on the G27-20 include an HDMI 1.4 port, a DisplayPort 1.2, and an audio-out 3.5mm jack. The G27q-20 comes with an HDMI 2.0 port, a DisplayPort 1.4, and an audio-out 3.5mm jack.

The Lenovo G27-20 and G27q-20 are expected to be available in January 2021 at $239.99 and $299.99, respectively.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
