Lenovo launches affordable QHD gaming monitor with 275Hz refresh rate

Lenovo has launched an affordable gaming monitor under its sub-brand in China. Called the Lecoo N2521SQ, it features a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel with a native resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. The big highlight of this panel is that it sports a 275Hz refresh rate.

The company further claims that the IPS panel of the gaming monitor has a 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, and on sRGB, it's said to cover 132%. These are good numbers for those who might be looking for a gaming-focused display that can also be somewhat usable for professional tasks.

Its typical brightness rating is 300 nits, and Lenovo says that the monitor has HDR support. There are other gaming-focused features, including the Game Plus mode that offers crosshair assist. However, there's no mention of FreeSync or G-Sync support, which are likely missing because of how affordable it is for being a 275Hz gaming monitor (Samsung 25" Odyssey G4 with support for both is curr. $182.94 on Amazon).

Port-wise, there's nothing fancy either. This Lenovo gaming monitor comes with one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports. Its adjustable stand and the sleek design are among the other highlights. In China, the Lecoo N2521SQ retails for CNY 888, around $131.41. As Lecoo-branded products don't usually see international launches, the chances of this one going global are slim.
