Everything in its Right Place – Legion Arena¹

Whether you’re a diehard gamer or a casual one, you likely are securing games from a number of different platforms each with their own app. When it’s time to play, switching between these different locations to find the games you own can add unwanted complexity and waste precious time. To get gamers back into the game faster, Lenovo is launching Legion Arena, a gaming platform that links to popular platforms and online stores to consolidate all of your purchased PC games into one easy to find, centralized hub.

When stepping into Legion Arena, gamers can easily search games by title or by those that were recently played, launching or installing the game directly from the app. Users can also see a list of the top games played by other Legion gamers, click-to-purchase new games not owned, and earn rewards and game play-driven achievements. It’s gaming simplified.

Responsible Gaming for a Greener Tomorrow –  CO₂ Offset Service for Legion Users

Speaking of simplifying processes, Lenovo is introducing a simple and transparent way for Legion users to give something back to the environment. The Lenovo CO₂ Offset Service, previously only available on Lenovo commercial devices, enables gamers to easily offset carbon emissions and help the environment with just a click of a button. When a user opts into the service, carbon offset credits are later purchased based on the calculated emissions of their device over its average lifecycle and Lenovo’s carbon offset partner contributes them to one of several different United Nations Climate Action projects, including those that help to improve renewable energy, reduce air pollution, or enhance safe waste disposal.

Must-have Gaming Monitors Made for Heroes – the Lenovo Legion Y25-30, Lenovo G27qe-20 & Lenovo G24qe-20

If you have the need for speed, the lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate of the new Lenovo Legion Y25-30 Monitor could be your ticket to the big leagues. Bringing 99 percent sRGB color gamut with Delta E<2 color accuracy, its mid-size 24.5-inch Full HD In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel helps players keep their concentration as they catch every detail on a gaming monitor certified by VESA DisplayHDR 400 for a more vivid viewing experience.

While competitive gamers benefit the most from this monitor’s smart variable refresh rate (VRR) technology capable of delivering a more professional experience, its high color performance plus integrated 2 x 3W speakers means it also works great for graphic design, video editing, browsing or multitasking, as well as for enjoying entertainment and streaming content in high-definition. Built to help deliver more wins and a smoother gaming experience free of screen tearing or stuttering, the monitor comes equipped with AMD FreeSync™ Premium¹² to enhance gameplay further, and to capture big moments when streaming, the Legion Y25-30 supports our high-quality modular camera.⁹ Eliminate streaking and ghosting with a 0.5ms moving picture response time (MPRT)¹³ and 1ms extreme response time for even more accuracy.

The powerfully sleek design of this ergonomic stand features textured detailing on the back and a pop of color inside the cable management cutout giving it a vibe that’s distinctly cool and unmistakably Lenovo Legion. To help protect gamers from dry eye after long battle sessions, Lenovo’s gaming monitors have built-in natural low blue light technology to provide a superior viewing experience without eye strain or color distortion – the Legion Y25-30, as well as the new entry-level Lenovo G27qe-20 and Lenovo G24qe-20, are all certified by Eyesafe.

Designed for casual gamers of all walks of life, the Lenovo G-series monitors deliver uncompromised gaming monitor performance with a 1m MPRT response time for social players and young professionals alike while balancing their at-home learning, working, (and when there’s spare time) gaming needs too.

When it comes to playing games or watching action movies, it is hard to beat an up to 100Hz refresh rate for the price with up to 110Hz overclock refresh rate on both monitors to help eliminate streaking and ghosting. Simply tilt to adjust the monitor to a more comfortable position, and to adjust your control display attributes or customize color settings for specific games – enjoy Lenovo Artery’s simple graphical interface for a better user experience.
