When it comes to premium gaming monitors in India, the options are limited but steadily growing. Interestingly, more gamers are now thinking that if you’re spending big anyway, why not go ultrawide? And honestly, that logic checks out. You get a wider field of view, often a curved panel for added immersion, and the kind of screen real estate that could easily replace a dual-monitor setup. While the competition in this niche isn’t overcrowded, the segment already has strong contenders from Alienware, MSI, and Samsung.
And now, Lenovo has thrown its hat into the ring with the Legion Pro 34WD-10. On paper, the monitor ticks most of the right boxes: a 2K ultrawide display, 240 Hz refresh rate, a stack of connectivity options with a built-in KVM switch, and more. The only eyebrow-raiser? It uses a traditional OLED panel instead of the newer QD-OLED tech that’s become the rage among enthusiasts. But is that really a dealbreaker? Or does the Legion Pro 34WD-10 bring enough firepower to justify its Rs. 90,000 price tag? Let’s find out.

It’s Not Just Pretty, It’s Smart
Straight out of the box, the Legion Pro 34WD-10 looks sleek yet intimidating, like it’s ready to flex. The beefy stand, solid back shell, and glowing RGB accents instantly set the “serious gear” vibe. The build feels premium: no creaks, no cheap plastics, just clean alignment and sturdy craftsmanship. The white rear shell not only gives it a futuristic edge but also helps with thermals, keeping things cooler during those marathon gaming sessions.
Assembly is simple but not entirely tool-free. You’ll need to screw in the base with either the provided LN key or your trusty screwdriver. For something this pricey, I actually like that Lenovo went for a secure, screw-in design, as it adds a sense of durability. Once the base is done, the single-slot VESA mechanism locks into place easily. The stand itself is wonderfully ergonomic, offering height adjustment (up to 135 mm), tilt (-5° to +22°), and swivel (±45°), so whether you’re grinding through work or diving into Helldivers 2, comfort won’t be an issue.
The Additional Goodies
Cable management has been thought through, too, with a neat cutout in the stand that keeps wires under control. Underneath, an RGB glow bar lights up your desk with a subtle gamer aura. It’s not overdone and offers clean ambient lighting that looks great in darker setups. And Lenovo’s added a few quality-of-life touches that deserve props. There’s a mobile phone holder on the base, and it’s surprisingly practical. My iPhone sat perfectly there, automatically switching to StandBy mode like it was meant for it.
You also get a headphone hook on the side. It’s a nice gesture, though I’ll admit I wasn’t brave enough to hang my pricey SteelSeries headset on something that looks this dainty. It works fine for lighter cans or budget headsets, though. Overall, it’s a rock-solid design with a ton of functional flair.
Well, almost perfect. There’s just one gripe, but we’ll get to that after a quick tour of what’s hiding behind the ports.
The Connectivity Buffet
The Legion Pro 34WD-10 comes loaded with more ports than a gaming laptop on caffeine. You’ve got your essentials: dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, ready to handle high refresh rates and all the latest GPUs without breaking a sweat. But that’s only the beginning.
The real star here is the USB-C port with 140 W Power Delivery, which basically turns the monitor into a one-cable wonder. Plug in your laptop, and you can run your entire setup: display, data, and charging through a single wire. You also get several USB-A and USB-C downstream ports for peripherals, so things like your webcam, mic, or controller can plug directly into the monitor. And with the built-in KVM / TrueSplit switch, you can effortlessly toggle between two systems while using the same keyboard and mouse.
And then there’s the 2.5 GbE Ethernet port, which turns the monitor into a mini network bridge. If your laptop doesn’t have a dedicated high-speed LAN port, this is your cheat code for stable, low-latency internet. It’s a niche addition, sure, but for streamers or competitive gamers, it’s a godsend. Speaking of underrated features, Lenovo even added dual 5 W speakers. They’re not going to replace your surround setup, but they’re louder and clearer than most built-in monitor speakers. More importantly, one of the HDMI ports also supports FRL and eARC, so if you do want serious sound, you can route high-quality audio to a soundbar or receiver directly through the monitor.
In short: plug in one display cable, one USB upstream, and you’re basically done. The Legion Pro handles the rest like a pro-level dock.
The One Design Miss
Now, about that tiny design hiccup I mentioned earlier — the port placement. Lenovo opted for a bottom-facing layout instead of rear-facing ports, and while it looks cleaner on paper, it’s a pain to access in practice. The space beneath the panel is tight, which means some thicker DisplayPort connectors struggle to fit in properly.
I tested a few cables, even the one Lenovo includes in the box, and all of them had to be jammed in at a slight angle. It never felt quite right, like I was one push away from bending a pin. So, pro tip: plug everything in before you mount the monitor upright. Once it’s on the stand, reaching those ports can be a tedious task, and you do run the risk of damaging your cables.
It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but for a monitor this premium, I wish Lenovo had given just a little more clearance for cables. Aside from that minor gripe, though, the Legion Pro’s design and connectivity setup are nothing short of top-tier.
How’s the Panel, Really?
Alright, enough chit-chat about stands and RGB glow bars. Let’s talk about the star of the show: that glorious panel.
The 800R curvature here is no joke. For anyone unfamiliar, the smaller the number, the tighter the curve. And this one practically wraps around your face. Most 34-inch ultrawides hang around the 1500R to 1800R mark, so going all the way down to 800R feels wild at first. It takes a minute to find your sweet spot. Too close, and you’ll feel like you’re wearing a VR headset; too far, and you’ll miss the immersive effect. But once you lock in that perfect distance, it’s pure visual bliss. The world literally bends around you, and every frame feels like it’s trying to pull you in.
Gaming Glory: When Pixels Come Alive
I tested a range of games on the Legion Pro 34WD-10, and the experience left me grinning like a kid seeing ray tracing for the first time. Battlefield 6 was the first test, and that combination of 21:9 field of view and OLED contrast is something else. Explosions, debris, and tracer fire feel alive, wrapping around your peripheral vision and completely sucking you into the chaos.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the neon-soaked streets of Night City shine with absurd vibrance, every sign and reflection rendered with jaw-dropping contrast. And Alan Wake 2? That’s where OLED earns its paycheck. Those pitch-black shadows, sliced by sudden beams of light, make the horror ten times more atmospheric.
Even older favourites like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port feel reborn. The landscapes stretch endlessly, every mountain and blade of grass oozing depth. And when it comes to racing titles like Forza Horizon 5, the Legion Pro really flexes its ultrawide muscle. Driving from the cockpit view makes you feel like you’re sitting behind the actual wheel. That 800R curvature gives you side vision that feels uncannily real.
Still Not QD-OLED Though
Now, one caveat worth mentioning: brightness. This is not the brightest OLED out there. The Legion Pro’s typical brightness hovers around 275 nits, with HDR peaks that touch 450 nits in certain highlights. In darker rooms, it looks phenomenal. Heck, cinematic, even. But in a well-lit setup or a sunlit room, you’ll lose a bit of HDR punch. Competing QD-OLED panels (like the ones from Alienware or MSI) pull ahead here with their higher sustained brightness. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s definitely worth noting if your setup faces a window.
16:9 Games: When Black Bars Crash the Party
Of course, not every game is built to love the ultrawide lifestyle. Case in point: Valorant. The Legion’s 240 Hz refresh rate makes it buttery smooth, but you’re stuck with pillarboxing on both sides since the game locks to 16:9. It’s not unplayable, but the immersion takes a hit. And Valorant isn’t alone; a handful of popular titles still refuse to go full 21:9.
Even games that do support ultrawide sometimes stumble in cutscenes as they’re often hard-coded for 16:9, meaning you’ll see black bars or awkward zoom-ins during cinematics. It’s not Lenovo’s fault; it’s more of a developer-side quirk. The good news is, newer titles are increasingly ultrawide-friendly, and when they are, the payoff is spectacular.
Console Chronicles
Now, let’s plug in some consoles. The HDMI 2.1 ports here fully support 120 Hz gaming from the PlayStation 5, but only on 1080p. 1440p is capped to 60Hz only. Also, while you’re mostly stuck to 16:9, you can change the monitor’s aspect ratio to “Full Screen”, which will essentially stretch the interface. It’s kinda how BenQ also offers Ultrawide gaming on the PS5, though, the experience isn’t what I’d recommend.
On the flipside, keeping things as is, VRR and HDR both work flawlessly, and input lag is minimal. Swinging through Manhattan in Spider-Man 2, the reflections on Spidey’s suit look lifelike. It’s a vibrant image in God of War: Ragnarök, too, where the sunlight dancing across Kratos’ armour feels almost tangible. Even without the full horizontal stretch, the depth and colour fidelity make every frame pop. If you don’t have a dedicated TV and want one display for both PC and console, the Legion Pro handles the crossover beautifully.
Productivity on the Side?
When you’re not gaming, the Legion Pro 34WD-10 doubles up as a productivity monster. That 3440×1440 resolution gives you ridiculous screen real estate, which is enough to fit a video timeline, chat window, browser, and maybe even your snack bowl on one screen. Video editors can stretch their timelines without endless scrolling, writers can keep reference material open beside their drafts, and developers get ample space for code and previews.
Colour accuracy is impressive, too. With near-perfect sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage, this OLED panel can hold its own in semi-professional colour grading or photo editing. And of course, watching movies on it is pure indulgence. Titles like The Batman look phenomenal, especially since they’re done in 21:9. However, even on movies made in 16:9, the blacks are quite deep that the bezels essentially disappear.
Lenovo also deserves credit for its multitasking tools. The monitor supports Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) modes, letting you view two inputs simultaneously. That’s great for streamers or multi-device setups. And while the physical navigation joystick works fine, it can get tedious.
Thankfully, the Lenovo Display Control Centre software lets you tweak everything, such as brightness, colour profiles, and refresh rate, straight from your desktop. It’s intuitive, fast, and makes fine-tuning feel like second nature.
Burn-In Blues? Not Really
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: OLED burn-in. It’s the thing everyone whispers about when buying an OLED monitor, but the fear is often bigger than the reality. Lenovo’s built-in safeguards, like pixel refresh, screen shift, and auto-dimming, do a solid job at preventing long-term image retention. Unless you’re leaving static spreadsheets or HUDs on screen for 10 hours straight every day, you’re probably fine. Still, if you plan to use the Legion Pro for long hours, maybe throw in a coffee break every few hours. It’s good for your eyes, and great for your pixels.
Verdict: Has Its Work Cut Out
The Lenovo Legion Pro 34WD-10, priced at around Rs. 89,990 in India, steps boldly into the premium ultrawide arena, going head-to-head with QD-OLED and mini-LED heavyweights from Alienware, MSI, and Samsung. It’s not overpriced, just confidently parked in the luxury lane. For that money, you’re getting a gorgeous, feature-packed display that plays to OLED’s strengths beautifully: inky blacks, punchy colours, and stellar contrast, all wrapped up with smart connectivity perks like 140W USB-C PD, a KVM switch, and a built-in Ethernet hub. It’s the kind of monitor that’s as practical as it is pretty.
That said, it’s not without rivals. For a few thousand more, MSI’s MPG 341CQPX (review) delivers a brighter QD-OLED panel with a gentler 1800R curve. On the other hand, Alienware’s AW3423DWF still holds strong as a fan favourite, offering similar picture quality at a slightly lower price. Though its 165 Hz refresh rate feels tame next to Lenovo’s 240 Hz. And if you’re in the mood to flex, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is the ultimate ultrawide indulgence with its dual-1440p madness and blazing 240 Hz refresh rate.
So no, the Legion Pro 34WD-10 isn’t the undisputed king of ultrawides. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s a confident, capable, and premium all-rounder that nails immersion, functionality, and value in equal measure. If you want one monitor that does everything from gaming, content creation, to even docking duty, Lenovo’s first serious ultrawide OLED is absolutely worth your shortlist.
