These are basically the y25-25 refreshed with a heavier oc. Heads up to anybody getting "black screen" when switching to these, it's usually a discrepancy between g-sync on the system freaking out as this monitor only has Freesync (so if your coming from a monitor with its own g-sync module the drivers try to talk to the older monitors module that is non existent on the Lenovos.).
I am not sure if it just me or someone else having the same issue, sometimes my y25-30 will disconnect from my gaming laptop, and won't connect back, it basically can't be found from the laptop setting, the way to solve it, at least the only way that I found is to disconnect the powercable from the monitor to make it force shut down, then put the cable back on to reboot the monitor
I play competitive csgo 3 hr/day and watching a little bit of RUclips in the mix. Should i turn on or off the srgb mode?? And what level should the overdrive on?
Excellent video my friend, I'm from Brazil and I just found your content with so much information, a doubt, what settings did you need to make to reach the 124% mark in sRGB? Are the settings you show in the video at 14:43 time?
Im kind of confused by the response time tables. Is "Average initial time" the response time? So on 240hz lvl 4 it has 2.9 ms response time? Also great review by the way.
Hey, great Video! In Germany the monitor has about the same prize as the aoc gaming 25g3zm monitor. Both at 170 euros. Which one would you get and why? In terms of reaction time and input lag there are about the same, arent they? so i might go with aoc bc of the better contrast.
Im so confused with what settings to put on, Im putting it on 240hz and want the best performance for FPS games. Can I set it to Level for without MPRT on and it will be the same performance? Even turning my brightness up all the way its too dark for me when it on. I cant seem to get my screen to look how i want it always seems to have a yellow tint even when putting it on cold setting.
Is this a good deal for £200? Also, If my games run at say 120-130 fps, is it worth me getting a 240 hz monitor for future proofing? Or would it affect my experience in any way? Could I set the refresh rate to 144 / 165Hz in Windows to cap it? Or should I just buy a 144 / 165Hz monitor? Thank you
for £199 its not a bad price with its original being £300. If you are expecting to upgrade your pc in the near future it would be a good investment. You can set this monitors refresh rate to anything you see fit, 60 hz, 144 hz and so on. But, you may want to look into getting maybe a 144hz 1440p monitor for now, as your computer does not currently run at the same fps as the refresh rate of this monitor.
@@shadowxbounce1647 I appreciate your time and response pal, I ordered the RX 6600 XT which is coming tomorrow and I have also ordered the AOC 24 inch 144 hz 1440p monitor as I need the higher refresh rate more for work as 60 hz gives me headaches scrolling. I will still be gaming at 1080p on the AOC 1440p monitor by setting the in-game res to 1080p, but I'll leave the refresh rate to 144 hz.

Gaming isn't my top priority.
I'm considering this monitor but I'm wondering if anyone may still have some suggestions, I can get this lenovo for 230€, and I'm looking for a tradeoff between image quality and response time/ghosting (as I do some work as well as play counter strike). This monitor seems to score well in colors (especially compared to some others like the AOC 24G2ZU), and I've seen very good reponse time results from it (at 240Hz but I don't care about 280Hz so that's good for me), so to me it seems like the best deal at this price, what do you think ?
@@TotallydubbedHD Just to make sure, the limitations you're referring to are mainly the frame skipping issues at 280Hz and perhaps like the annoyances of the settings when selecting sRGB ? If so then yeah I'm awareof those, it doesn't really bother me.

@@TotallydubbedHDIs there a way to increase or decrease the intensity of the Blue Light Filter that prevents eye fatigue over long periods, in the settings of this Lenovo y25-30 monitor ???
No, manually OC doesn't work either. I tried via Nvidia custom resolution but the frame skipping issue is still there. On my unit I could go to 241Hz without frame skipping but as soon as I went higher it started skipping. 242Hz was already too much...

@@TotallydubbedHD thank you very much for the response, this eases my mind that the Lenovo Y25-30 will run well on 240hz. i have checked out the 24 inch, 240hz alternatives youve mentioned and they are a bit more expensive than the Y25-30 which I can currently get for 210€ on a deal. the Iyama GB2590HSU-B1 would be around 45€ more expensive and the AOC 24G2ZU is 40€ more expensive. which would you pick at these price points for competitive gaming? I'm willing to spend more if it makes sense.
(and sorry for assuming you arent active on twitter and thus sending the message again here (i wasnt expecting you to answer quickly, but rather i assumed you werent active on twitter in general), i think my panic kicked in because the deal on the Lenovo Y25-30 is time limited hah. sorry for the hassle!)

mixed up a price and monitor name
@@user-lu4ye6zo4d as long as you're aware of the limitations of this monitor, I'd go ahead for it at its given deal price.

The Lenovo is 225 GBP and the ASUS is 300 GBP locally, and the others are over 300. In this case, would this Legion be a recommend?
If you bear in mind what I've mentioned, then yes it's a worthwhile consideration
This or view sonic elite Xg251g
Which is better for colour accuracy and overall colour reproduction?
i have same monitor, how to adjust up and down the monitor pls?
are the built in speakers good?
is the 280Hz frame skipping already fixed?
@8:12 may be you can do split 50:50 screen, and camcord screen from 90 degree angle not 45...
I still didnt understand if I have to change the settings for my series S console.... i only care about response time not about graphics..
For hard competitif gaming, wich monitor around 300 will be the best? Still the asus for you? (I play Valorant)
Yup

The AOC VA is my new favourite; go watch my review!
@@TotallydubbedHD hey I'm looking for a new monitor and been watching all your latest videos, but im still uncertain because u praise the AOC VA while all the other people tell me to stay away from VA panels
I'm a highly competitive player playing csgo faceit at level 10, i don't care about how the game looks I need the best monitor I can get for around 200€-350€
@@glowNINE indeed, I'd have been one of the ones to also tell you to stay away from a VA panel, up until now.
However, in your case, if you just want the fastest monitor and really don't care about anything else, look into BenQ's range of TN panels. They're still the utmost best for hardcore gamers, but it's still not what I'd recommend for 90%+ of consumers. As most use their monitors for other stuff, incl browsing the web.
@@TotallydubbedHD thinking about getting the viewsonic XG2431 or benq XL2540K
not sure about TN panels since I also play games like Apex and Dota where good picture is also essential
@@glowNINE I can't see myself recommending the VS, watch my review for more info - if picture quality is of importance, I'd suggest to look at the ones linked in the description including the VAs mentioned.
Does SRGB mode have an impact on response time of this monitor?
No, it never does; anyone that tells you it does is disillusioned :)
We will never know...
I can get it in my country for ~130GBP. Guess I should pull the trigger
Can you put a monitor arm on it ?
Aoc 24g2z or Lenovo y25-30 (same price) for competitive CSGO?
If you run the Lenovo at 240hz, I'd pick that, if and only if they're the same price. If the AOC is cheaper, then I'd pick that instead
hey theres a 360 hz version what do u think about it\

Disable Freesync/G-Sync
I was wondering does this Monitor will enable HDR Mode (Auto HDR) on Windows 10/11 or not.
Cannot remember; but most do trigger HDR automatically within the OSD ONLY - thus the monitor is ready for HDR, but Windows doesn't do it (that's a Microsoft 'feature' though)
@@TotallydubbedHD Thank you for the reply. I am wondering if Windows 10/11 can adjust HDR/SDR Brightness balance slider.

Review lenovo legion y27q 30
I'm considering this monitor but I'm wondering if anyone may still have some suggestions, I can get this lenovo for 230€, and I'm looking for a tradeoff between image quality and response time/ghosting (as I do some work as well as play counter strike). This monitor seems to score well in colors (especially compared to some others like the AOC 24G2ZU), and I've seen very good reponse time results from it (at 240Hz but I don't care about 280Hz so that's good for me), so to me it seems like the best deal at this price, what do you think ?
Seems decent, if you're aware of the limitations.
@@TotallydubbedHD Just to make sure, the limitations you're referring to are mainly the frame skipping issues at 280Hz and perhaps like the annoyances of the settings when selecting sRGB ? If so then yeah I'm awareof those, it doesn't really bother me.

Wouldn't worry too much about it, as mentioned in the video - especially when you look at the others. As for settings for the input lag, there's nothing you can do about it.

problem solved bro?
@@markzra no bro, I just returned it and got my money back. On the lookout for a new productivity monitor, I'm torn by how everyone says 60hz is useless for a work monitor and i cannot find a reliable gaming monitor
Let's say that the Hz does not matter in this equation, what would you go for: Y25-30 or EX240?
Why wouldn't it? You'd only be looking at getting a higher refresh rate monitor if you think you'll have a benefit of more fluid gaming. If not, save yourself money and get a 144hz-165hz monitor instead.
Not sure if I could manually OC the refresh rate to 260 or 270 and maybe this could eliminate the frame skipping issue?
Utterly pointless, running 240 makes more sense.
@@TotallydubbedHDIs there a way to increase or decrease the intensity of the Blue Light Filter that prevents eye fatigue over long periods, in the settings of this Lenovo y25-30 monitor ???
No, manually OC doesn't work either. I tried via Nvidia custom resolution but the frame skipping issue is still there. On my unit I could go to 241Hz without frame skipping but as soon as I went higher it started skipping. 242Hz was already too much...
Please give me a good monitor for an Xbox series s under 160$
