With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The Lenovo Q27q-10 is a relatively new monitor. The Lenovo Q27q-10 has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For graphics color quality, the Lenovo Q27q-10 has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The monitor has a VESA mount. In terms of pixel density, the Lenovo Q27q-10 has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The brightness of Lenovo Q27q-10 is lower than other monitors. For the average response rate, the Lenovo Q27q-10 scores 22.2 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The minimum response rate of Lenovo Q27q-10 is 6.5 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1013 : 1. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. The Lenovo Q27q-10 has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Lenovo Q27q-10 has a total input lag of 32.7 ms, which is bad among the competition.
