Lenovo ThinkVision L2251p - LCD display - TFT - 22" - widescreen - 1680 x 1050 / 75 Hz - 250 cd/m2 - 1000:1 - 5 ms - 0.282 mm VGA, DisplayPort - business black Review

Okay: I admit I play computer games too much.
I bought the Lenovo for one reason only: to create a 3-monitor Eyefinity setup.To properly enact Eyefinity, one monitor must be connected to the graphics card through a DisplayPort input.As of my writing this (May 2010) monitors with a DisplayPort are VERY hard to find.None of my local computer stores had them, and very few monitors on Amazon.This Lenovo is the least expensive DisplayPort monitor that matched the resolution of my other monitors.

For those of you interested in an Eyefinity setup, this is a good option.For everyone else, I don't really have much to say: the image is fine, it seems sturdy enough, and it seems a tad slower to draw images than my Dell 2209wa monitor.Obviously, if you have only one monitor, you will never notice this, so I have trouble imagining it would be a problem.Please note, however, that it lacks an HDMI input.

Overall, a perfectly good monitor that has the added advantage of providing a DisplayPort input.

ZR22W LCD Monitor Review

The monitor is easy to set up, and in my opinion looks better than the picture indicates (probably because from a normal sitting height, the cable hole isn't visible).The plastics could be of higher quality, but the build quality is still okay.The tilt and rotate on the display feel smooth, and not overly easy or difficult. I can't really comment on how image quality compares to other IPS panels, but as compared to the Samsung 223BW (TN), it has less backlight bleed (YMMV as this tends to vary between samples), and much greater viewing angles.

The monitor comes with 1 DVI cable, 1 Display Port cable, 1 VGA cable, 1 power cable, and 1 mini-USB to USB cable (it has 2 USB ports centered on the left edge of the monitor)

My calibration settings are
35 brightness
80 contrast
6500K sRGB
everything else default
