Lenovo L215p Wide

One look at the Lenovo L215p Wide ($250 list) tells you that this is not your typical Lenovo monitor. Sporting a new cabinet design and a handful of multimedia features not normally offered on the ThinkVision line of business displays, this 21.5-inch...

Stylish design. Sharp, hi-res picture. Good color, text, and dark grayscale reproduction. Includes Webcam and USB hub

No height adjustment on base. Slightly expensive. Some tinting and light grayscale compression

The Lenovo L215p Wide LCD 21.5-inch monitor delivers a sharp picture in full HD and offers a few nice features, including a Webcam and a USB hub. Its color and dark grayscale performance is solid, but it shows traces of red tinting, and the lightest...

Lenovo L215p Monitor Review

Ideal for displaying HD content ; Includes plenty of multimedia extras

Lacks a DVI connection ; Unintuitive on-screen controls

The L215p displayed fine text and nice colors, but lacks a DVI port, including only HDMI and VGA connections.

Lenovo L215P

When most people think of Lenovo, monitors are far from the first devices that come to mind. In fact, even Lenovo doesn't seem to promote the fact that it manufactures them – if you browse monitors on the company's site, you'll find as many Samsung and...

Built-in speakers ; webcam; plentiful USB ports; acceptable screen quality; no motion blur

No DVI port; stand doesn't raise or lower; crude software setup; unimpressive webcam; poor-sounding speakers; no printed user guide

Anyone looking for serious sound or video quality would be better off buying a cheaper model...

Review: 6 HD displays, from midsize to massive

We look at 6 HD displays, from 21.5 inches to 46 inches, to see whether size matters when looking for a great monitor.

The truth is that contrast (the ratio of brightness to darkness) and color accuracy are more important than screen size. Despite ranging from 21.5 inches to 46 inches, our six monitors all displayed high HD video quality with only a little variation.

Lenovo L215p Wide

The L215p is a decent-performing, stylish LCD, but it doesn't offer enough features to justify its price.

Good performance; comes with USB and HDMI ports; sleek design

No DVI connection; no built-in speakers; has trouble with darker grays

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

With sleek-built appearance and lifelike image impressions it is simply a fabulous purchase. One must experience its splendor.

Lenovo L215p

The Lenovo L215p is a high-performing, low-priced 16:9 monitor with some useful features.

The Lenovo 215p has a stylish design and great overall performance. Also, it includes screen rotation, a Webcam, and four USB ports

The Lenovo L215p lacks a screen height adjustment option. Also, since it lacks a DVI connection, most will need to invest in a HDMI to DVI cable

Great monitor

This monitor performs flawlessly and has a great viewing angle. I especially like the capacitive touch buttons. Having both a DVI and a VGA input is nice, especially when I dock my laptop.This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setupAbout me......

Good looks, compatibility, capacitive touch buttons

Not as fancy or sleek as some of the higher-end monitors

Sweet 21.5" IPS

This was the only IPS on display at my local BB that I could afford at the time. My 12yr old 16:10 CRT had just totally fuzzed out (it had been dying for some time...), and I needed a monitor desperately. It was on ridiculous sale, and one was in the...

Would definitely recommend

ChuckT beat me to it. Not finding any information about this monitor on the internet I was hesitant to get it. I was returning an HP 20" IPS display, even though it was a wonderful monitor, because the 1600x900 resolution was a bit too small for me....
