The Legion 27-1r uses a standard IPS panel to deliver visuals for PC gaming. Lenovo equipped this screen with a native 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms MPRT response time. These specs help reduce motion blur for fast-paced shooters and racing games.

Connectivity options include one DisplayPort 1.4 input and two HDMI 2.1 TMDS ports. The DisplayPort supports the full 280Hz refresh rate, while the HDMI inputs cap at 240Hz. Users can adjust the view using a stand that offers height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments.
