[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice monitor with a stylistic design. I used to have the Y25-25 and this is definitely an upgrade from that. Still I prefer the almost no screw design and the headphone holder in the past model.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great bargain, but I find the low PPI to be causing eye strain, as it's on the lower end, so for gaming only, it can be ok, but for creators, hybrids, youtubers, video editors, graphic designers, I'd recommend higher PPI and 1440p
The stand and the rest of the assembly is solid, fear not for the stand, the weight of the monitor keeps the stand in place however you adjust it.
Modern inputs are great, can take advantage of 165hz 1080p.
Make sure you take care of the HDR settings, I ended up putting it into SDR mode for my content. Ultimately I had to return this monitor for its lack of sharpness and detail for text.
I'm actually typing this on a 16" Lenovo Legion, with a display that's almost double the PPI of the R25i-30.
So if you don't care about text, smooth detail, go for it (gaming only)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice monitor for the price. Bought this as my 3 monitors, but eventually gave it to my kid so he can use it as his gaming monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 24.5-inch IPS panel offers sharp visuals, accurate colors, and wide viewing angles for both gaming and everyday use. Solid build quality and great value for the price make this monitor an easy recommendation for competitive and casual gamers alike.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new monitor for work, this one was on clearance and the reviews were okay so I decided to get it. I should have headed the reviews more in depth. The quality and picture are great but the sounds is horrendous. You cannot hear anything. I ended up having to buy a separate set of speakers just to hear the bare minimum.

Hello Jessica,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Lenovo Legion R25i Gaming Monitor. We’re glad to hear that the picture quality and display performance meet your expectations, but we’re sorry to learn how disappointing the built‑in speakers have been. We understand how frustrating it is when audio output is so quiet that it becomes unusable, especially when you purchased the monitor for work and expected an all‑in‑one solution. We appreciate your feedback and we'll forward it to product team for review. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-253-6686.
