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.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
