Review: Lenovo Legion Y25-25

Conclusion

The Legion Y25-25 is an attractive choice for enthusiast gamers seeking ultra-high refresh rates from an affordable 1080p IPS panel.

Available for under £300, Lenovo's 240Hz offering is as swift as you're going to find in this segment, and that headline speed is married to competency in most other regards. Out-the-box colour accuracy is excellent, as are viewing angles, FreeSync and G-Sync Compatibility is at hand to keep unwanted tearing at bay, and the simple external design retains a four-way USB hub and easily accessible headphone jack.

As a gaming solution first and foremost, the Y25-25 ticks most of the right boxes, and limitations in other areas will do little to dissuade the target audience. The lack of high-end HDR support is no biggie, a basic 1080p resolution may be deemed preferable by pro gamers, and though TN and VA alternatives may have the edge in terms of response time and contrast ratio, respectively, IPS has the upper hand in terms of colour accuracy and viewing angles.

Bottom line: gamers wanting to get a taste of silky 240Hz gameplay ought to have the Legion Y25-25 on their radar.
