Lenovos premium 4K panel has a pricing problem

Lenovo Legion Y32p-30

FORGET 49-INCH UBER-WIDE monsters, 1080p panels with the kind of refresh rate that gives you a nosebleed, massive OLED screens that are really thinly disguised TVs, or niche 8K irrelevancies. For the discerning PC enthusiast with cash to splash, there can currently only be one monitor choice. Yup, it’s a 32-inch 4K panel with a triple-digit refresh rate.

That gives you plenty of on-screen real-estate, decent pixel density for nice, crisp fonts, and good image detail, plus sufficient fluidity and low enough latency that anything faster risks diminishing returns. It’s this enticing proposition that the Lenovo Legion Y32p-30 serves up.

At $749, none of this comes cheap. In fact, if anything the Legion feels pricey for what you’re getting. Notably, the HDR support is limited. Yes, there’s HDR 400 certification, but as that implies, the panel’s peak brightness is a mere 400 nits. While there is local dimming, it isn’t the full-array flavor with hundreds or thousands of zones. Instead, it’s the edge-lit variety, totalling just 16 zones.

What exactly is an 'AI' PC?

AI, EVERYWHERE, all at once. That, in a nutshell, is what's happening to the computing industry. The PC, inevitably, is not immune. Later this summer, you'll be able to buy a machine that officially qualifies as an 'Al' PC, according to no lesser an authority than Microsoft. But you might be surprised at who's making it.

Intel Raptor Lake Core 19 Instability Problems

THE RACE BETWEEN AMD AND INTEL has heated up in the past few years as Ryzen processors have become increasingly competitive. The amount of headroom for overclocking has shrunk in response, and it seems motherboard vendors may have tweaked settings a bit too aggressively.
