Lenovo Legion R34w-30 (Quick Look) - Expand Your Horizons
This ultrawide 34" monitor is made to provide users with a vibrant and rich visual experience that stretches across their peripheral vision.
Audio transcription
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look, this time we're taking a look at a Lenovo Legion monitor, and you might be looking at the 34-inches, the 1800R curve, and think that this is one of the premium models that they sell, but that's actually not the case."
"This retails for around 500 Euros, but we've seen it on sale for around 300, which is very reasonable for what you're actually getting.
This is more specifically called the Lenovo Legion R34W-30, still dumb names of course, but as I said, this can be bought for around 300 Euros, and for that money you're getting a 34-inch, as you can see here, VA panel, often when it's not an OLED for instance, it is one of our favorite panel types because it does seem to straddle the divide between the IPS panel's responsiveness and brightness, and the color, sort of correct, deep blacks of say, your OLEDs."
"So, what you have is a 34-inch, 1800R curve, that means that it's slightly curved, but not in such a way that it completely borks the aspect ratio and the way that you look at it.
This is, by the way, a 21 by 9 aspect ratio format, meaning that yes, some content will not scale as these tests that we're showing you right now can attest to, but the point is that it should be very easy without creating that ultra-stretched, ultra-wide format that some people just doesn't really like."
"It's a UWQHD monitor, that's basically a very fancy way of saying that within this aspect ratio, it's 3440 by 1414p, or 4040p just straight up.
It has 180hz refresh rate, which is, well, very good, and if you consider the fact that the actual resolution of the monitor goes to 1440p, it's very rare that you would probably get more than 180fps regardless, so I think that's a really good sweet spot there, and you get that at 0.5ms response time, which is also quite good."
"Finally, we did some initial color correction or color calibration tests to show that it basically gets to around 90% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, which is fine.
It's not perfect, it's not ideal, but it is good, and when you measure into the fact that this should reach at about 1000 nits, you are really doing very, very well for yourself, particularly at 300 euros."
"There are some obvious cost-saving measures.
This stand right here looks metal, and it is metal on some Legion models, but not here.
I'm pretty sure you can listen to, like, hear the sound, and, you know, it's very plasticky, but apart from that, and this cost-saving on RGB lighting, which a lot of people don't like anyway, well, you do get a lot for your money, don't you?
So we will fully review this and get back to you with a full review very soon."
