Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd
Fresh off launching a metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The new Legion 24-1r costs just 669 yuan, or around $99, yet still packs a 23.8-inch IPS panel with a refresh rate of up to 280Hz. For anyone putting together a fast competitive gaming setup without emptying their wallet, it looks like a seriously tempting deal.
