Lenovo is also bringing new Legion-branded gaming monitors to CES 2025. The Legion Pro 34WD-10 is the first PureSight OLED gaming monitor with an 800R curvature, AI features, and 240Hz. The Legion R34w-30 is also a 21:9 ultrawide monitor with 1500R, 180Hz, and high color accuracy.
Lenovo Legion Pro 34WD-10
The OLED panel of the Lenovo Legion Pro 34WD-10 offers a refresh rate of 240 Hz and a resolution of 3,440 × 1,440 pixels, which is an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a pixel density of 110 ppi. With a curvature radius of 800R, the 34-inch gaming monitor is strongly curved, which is intended to further increase immersion. Lenovo sets the response time at 0.03 ms, which is typical for OLEDs. The DCI-P3 color space should be covered at 98.5%, while the sRGB color space should be covered at 99%. The manufacturer specifies the color accuracy as Delta E
KVM switch and 140 watts via USB-C
A laptop can be connected via USB-C and charged at up to 140 watts. Data and peripherals connected to the monitor’s three USB-A ports and two USB-C ports are then also available to the laptop. The display also has a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port for a wired Ethernet passthrough connection. The integrated KVM switch supports seamless switching of displays and peripherals between two PCs, and Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture modes enable simultaneous viewing on both PCs.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 34WD-10 gaming monitor features “AI technologies” such as Anti-Burn Algorithm, which protects the OLED display from pixel burn-in, and User Detection, which automatically turns on the monitor in staggered sleep mode if no user is recognized. Lenovo TrueSplit splits the screen into four multi-monitor combinations and allows up to three virtual monitors to increase productivity.
The display has RGB lighting on the underside of the front panel. Lighting can be controlled via Legion Space and synchronized with screen content, sound effects and volume or speed of keyboard and mouse movement.
Pricing and availability
The Lenovo Legion Pro WD34-10 will be available from April 2025. The expected starting price is 1,299 euros.
Lenovo Legion R34w-30
The Lenovo Legion R34w-30 is a 34-inch, 3440 × 1440 pixel, 21:9 aspect ratio, 110 ppi ultrawide monitor, but uses a VA panel instead of the OLED panel and offers a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz. At 1500R it is also much less curved.

Pricing and availability
The Lenovo Legion R34w-30 will be available from January 2025. Its recommended retail price is significantly lower at 399 euros.
