27-inch 165 Hz VA gaming monitor

The Lenovo G27q-30 is a 27-inch display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Its VA panel delivers a 3000:1 contrast ratio and covers 99% sRGB plus 90% DCI-P3. A 1 ms MPRT response time and AMD FreeSync Premium support target smooth motion in fast-paced titles.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Competitive gamers wanting high refresh rates at 1440p will benefit from the 165 Hz panel and variable refresh sync. Content creators needing accurate colour across wide gamuts can use the 1.07 billion colour depth. Buyers who want an ultrawide aspect ratio or a curved screen should look elsewhere. Users requiring USB-C video input or built-in KVM switching will not find those features here.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify your graphics card can output 2560 x 1440 at 165 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.0. Confirm you have desk space for the stand’s height and tilt adjustments. Ensure your system supports AMD FreeSync Premium if you plan to use variable refresh. Check that the 350 cd/m² brightness meets your ambient lighting needs.

Questions about this item

Which video cable must I already have to run the 2560x1440 panel at 165 Hz?

Use the DisplayPort 1.4 input for the full 165 Hz refresh rate; HDMI 2.0 is also available but may limit the maximum refresh rate.

Will my older graphics card with only HDMI 1.4 still show an image on this display?

Yes, the monitor accepts HDMI 2.0 and is backward compatible, so an HDMI 1.4 source will display at 2560x1440 up to 60 Hz.

How can I confirm the VA panel is actually delivering the 1 ms MPRT response time in games?

Enable the MPRT overdrive setting in the on-screen menu, then run a motion-blur test pattern — sharp trailing edges indicate the 1 ms mode is active.
