The gaming monitor market, especially with IPS panels, is becoming fiercely competitive. A prime example of this trend is the Lenovo Lecoo N2757Q. This monitor highlights why major manufacturers like Samsung and LG have largely exited this segment. The reason is that Chinese manufacturers now dominate IPS panel production, leading to significantly lower prices and reduced profit margins. Consequently, we’re seeing gaming monitors available at prices previously considered unimaginable.
The intense competition has even compelled OLED panels to lower their entry price. This strategy aims to encourage users to upgrade from IPS technology to at least a budget-friendly OLED panel, which still offers a superior experience to many IPS displays.
Lenovo Lecoo N2757Q Gaming Monitor Specifications
Lenovo has launched its new Lecoo N2757Q in China, a monitor designed for gamers. It features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel with a Quad HD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. It boasts a native refresh rate of 200 Hz, which can be overclocked to 210 Hz. As a Fast IPS panel, it offers a rapid 1-millisecond (1ms GtG) response time. Additionally, it achieves a peak brightness of 400 nits (HDR400).
The panel’s specifications also include coverage of 96% of the DCI-P3 color space and 121% of the sRGB color space. It comes factory calibrated with a Delta E < 2 and, like many monitors of its kind, utilizes 8-bit + FRC for 10-bit color depth.
With these features, the Lenovo Lecoo N2757Q is an ideal choice for playing single-player AAA titles, offering excellent visual quality thanks to its Quad HD resolution. Its high refresh rate also provides a smooth and responsive experience in competitive games like Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant, which are optimized to leverage high refresh rates without demanding top-tier hardware.
Further Details, Availability, and an Attractive Price (Currently China-Exclusive)
The Lenovo Lecoo N2757Q comes equipped with four video inputs: two DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports. It also includes a 3.5mm audio output. The included stand is quite basic, offering only tilt adjustment. For height adjustment, users will need to consider a monitor arm, as it supports the standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount.
The most compelling aspect is the price. This Quad HD 210 Hz monitor is launching in China for 799 yuan, which translates to approximately 100 Euros or 118 US dollars. In regions with subsidies, the price drops even further to 719 yuan, equating to about 90 Euros or 106 US dollars. This pricing is revolutionary and explains why major companies have rapidly exited this market to focus on the more profitable OLED segment.
