I bought a Lenovo Legion R27qe Gen 2 monitor in May 2026, and after approximately four months of use, it has suddenly developed extensive lines across almost the entire display.

I'm planning to claim the warranty, but I'm worried about the RMA process, replacement quality and how long I might be without a working monitor.

I'd appreciate responses from people in India who have actually claimed a warranty for a Lenovo monitor with a similar display or panel failure.

I have a few specific questions:

Did Lenovo by any chance try to reject the claim by making excuses of electricity issues or physical damage? Although none of that happened with my monitor

Did Lenovo repair the panel or replace the entire monitor? If it was replaced, was the replacement brand new or refurbished/previously used?

How long did the process take, from registering the complaint to receiving the repaired or replacement monitor?

Did Lenovo arrange collection or delivery, or did you have to visit a service centre?

I'm not trying to bash the brand. I just want to understand what to expect before and during the warranty process.

If you've dealt with this problem, please share what happened in your case, including anything you would recommend documenting or doing differently.

Thanks!

Should I buy the first one or second one because the only difference is the first one is the ips panel and the other one is a va panel....

Update -just ordered the ips one .....😊😊

Hello,

I just purchased a Sony inzone M10S Il but the box was not sealed when it arrived.

I wanted to check the power on time to make sure that it is new, but Sony apparently don’t provide the details via the OSD nor through their software.

I ran a few burn in test videos on YouTube and found 4 lighter hotspots when displaying certain colours. I also attached photos of the same signal displayed on my current LG monitor vs the Sony. The hotspots are only visible on the Sony.

What are these 4 hotspots and why are these only visible when displaying certain shades of grey/colour? The hotspots coincide with the area where the electronics are so is this some sort of manufacturing defect?

Thanks in advance.
