Lenovo Debuts First PC Monitor with AMD FreeSync Technology

Lenovo Debuts First PC Monitor with AMD FreeSync Technology

AMD today announced the new Lenovo Y27f Curved Gaming Monitor (hey this is posted like that on the AMD website). This would be their first free-standing display incorporating AMD FreeSync technology, offering low input latency and an ultra-smooth, stutter free gaming and multimedia experience. With 27-inch-wide “most extreme curve available today,”.

AMD FreeSync technology helps ensure smooth and fluid gameplay. AMD FreeSync technology enhances communication between the Lenovo Y27f Curved Gaming Monitor and an AMD FreeSync-capable GPU, allowing the display to dynamically adapt its refresh rate in alignment with the GPU’s creation of new frames. This prevents tearing by ensuring no new frames are drawn during the refresh period. FreeSync also eliminates stuttering, since the refresh rate is locked to the creation of new frames. FreeSync is supported on a wide range of AMD Radeon™ GPUs, including the recently launched Polaris architecture-based Radeon™ RX Series graphics cards.

“Our latest monitor, the Lenovo Y27f Curved Gaming Monitor, is optimized for gaming,” said Li Jun Su, Executive Director and General Manager of Visuals BU, PC & Smart Device Business Group, Lenovo. “AMD FreeSync technology along with a fast 144 Hz refresh rate eliminates screen tearing, and minimizes display stutter, input lag and motion blur to display more natural movement. Combined with full high definition 1920 x 1080 resolution and the most extreme curved display to date, the monitor provides our customers with the smoothest possible gaming and a great experience.”

“With AMD FreeSync technology, the new Lenovo Y27f provides truly immersive gaming,” said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group. “The monitor is an excellent choice for both casual and competitive gamers that depend on low latency, high framerates, and an ultra-smooth experience powered by AMD FreeSync technology.”

The Lenovo™ Y27f Curved Gaming Monitor is available now starting at SEP $399 USD.3 For more information visitwww.lenovo.com.

Never heard of lenovo monitors.
Price is nice, as expected from lenovo. I wonder about panel quality.

edit: Not sure about 27inch for 1080p resolution, image probably gonna be choppy.

Not a good price at $400
There are Acer/Asus 144Hz 1440p Freesync panels that occasionally go on sale for $400.

Don't know what their designers were thinking. 1080p at 27" is only better for sitting back and watching videos. But the curve restricts you to standard desktop viewing range, where the pixels become apparent.

Would much rather get one of Samsung's new curved 1080p screens. They don't have 144Hz but it isn't a big deal with Freesync. They cost like, less than half of this...

1080p is so late 90's tech.

personally, I wouldn't touch Lenovo with a barge pole.

I have a to deal with their equipment on a regular basis through my employer, and i am honestly amazed at how low-quality their components are. spend the extra 50 dollars and get something else, anything else...

My one experience with a Lenovo monitor was very poor. The blue color channel occasionally dropped out. I decided I would not purchase Lenovo ever again.
