Are there any alternatives?

The Acer Nitro XZ272U costs just $330, despite also being a 165Hz 27-inch gaming monitor. It uses a VA panel, and also has a 4ms response time instead of 1ms. It even has a curved screen.

　　Another option to consider is the Asus TUF VG27 gaming monitor, coming in at $479. Lastly, the $400 Dell S2719DGF is another good option. It has a 1ms response time and a 155Hz refresh rate, but uses a cheaper TP panel.

　　

How long will it last?

The Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 should last around five years. The standard warranty lasts three years, but the 165Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution will set you up for PC gaming for longer than that.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The Legion Y27q-20 ably balances features, design, and performance — all in an affordable package.
