Good deal – The Lenovo G27c-10 computer LCD screen at €189.00 (-21%)

The Lenovo G27c-10 monitor features a curved Full HD 165 Hz VA panel which, on paper, may be suitable for the vast majority of gamers. It remains to be seen if it keeps all its promises, particularly in terms of responsiveness…

The Lenovo G27c-10 benefits from a good factory calibration which allows it to display faithful colors and an overall good rendering, with in particular deep blacks specific to the VA type panel. However, this monitor suffers from an afterglow time that is much too high, especially for a monitor intended for video games. It therefore has a hard time competing with the AOC C27G1 which, for the same price, is much more responsive.

Strong points

• Good factory calibration.
• Good contrast.
• Frequency of 165 Hz.
• FreeSync compatibility.

Weak points

• Disappointing responsiveness for a “gaming” model.
• Absence of black image insertion system (ELMB or ULMB).
• No USB hub.
• Viewing angles.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

The MSI Optix G27C4 is a good monitor for gamers. It benefits from very good responsiveness and a high-performance black image insertion system, but it suffers from its limited ergonomics and its perfectible calibration. In the end, it doesn’t really manage to stand out from the competition, especially the AOC 27G2U which, at the same price, is still our preference.
