Lenovo 22" 1920x1200

Lenovo ThinkVision L220x

It's been a hot minute since we've seen a noteworthy ThinkVision LCD, but Lenovo is now claiming that its L220x is the "industry's first 22-inch widescreen WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution monitor." Aside from the luscious bevy of pixels, this bad boy also touts an integrated USB hub (one in, four out), HDCP support, VGA / DVI inputs, a six-millisecond response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 178-degree viewing angles, and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The damage? Around $550 when it hits in November.

Awesome!!
 
would let me fit my speakers on desk next to monitor instead of getting a 24" and having speakers behind monitor, any ideas if it has dual input?
 
Never thought I would see anyone making one. Looking at the viewing angles it isn't a TN film screen.

So finally we are going to have a 22" with either sps or pva screen and a decent resolution as well. :D

Downside is the price in the uk will probably be over £300 plus VAT but for a non tn film screen that is pretty good.

Might even tempt me away from my 20" NEC but i'll wait for some reviews first and actual confirmation of spec.

If it is as it first appears then these will sell like hot cakes IMO
 
We have a Winner !!!

Can't wait....in fact yes I can it will give me time to save up the cash....was thinking of the tn panels but not anymore !!:D
 
Hmmm, if anyone gets a solid release date, let us know. My mate's going to be looking for a monitor soon as a birthday present, and hes enlisted me to do some research for him. If that screen turns out to be any good, and similarly priced to the Samsung, its another option to consider :)

Go on, Gibbo - get your feelers out, make some deals and see if you can get them in at around £300-350, rather than a 1:1 ratio with the dollar, us poor UK people are so used to :D

Err which Samsung?????
 
Nice but lets see the price first if it's £350-£400 then there's really no point as a gateway spva 24" screen can be had now for £299.If it's much more than £250 then i don't see it's place in the market.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the Benq 24" non TN tft £470 and the quality sps Dell 24" screens £434? And the Samungs Tn 24" screen selling for £329?

On your basis nobody ought to be buying the Benq and Dell 24" screens cause they are too expensive and everybody should be buying the Gateway screen?

Presumably the Dell and Benq to some people are worth the extra £135 - £170? Perhaps it's a better screen and gets better reviews? ;)

At the moment you have "quality" non tn 20" such as the Dell selling for £253 and the NEC for £300. On your "more than £250 no place in the market basis" how have these two screens got a place in the market? I guess nobody is buying them. So if this monitor comes in at around £340 it is perfectly pitched between the 20" and 24" screens in price.

I will admit the Gateway is a fantastic price for a non tn panel 24" screen and since it appears to get great reviews there really isn't any point anybody buying the Lenovo, let alone the Dell or Benq screens.

However, there is always room in the market for more screens and some people don't have the room for a 24" screen so it will all depends on the reviews really.

If it gets great reviews then it will sell. Ignoring the Gateway, you can choose a 20" non tn Dell screen for £250,say this 22" screen for £340 and a 24" Dell for £434 it will be perfectly priced IMO.

And if priced near the Samsung 24" TN screen which it will be, I would much rather have a non TN 22" screen of the the same resolution because of all the cons of a TN screen. Personal choice but I don't like TN screens.
 
Thats like saying why pay more for the best 22" screen on the market, when you can easily afford a cheap and probably inferior perfomrning 24" screen ??:confused:

How is a 24" spva screen worse quality hmm...

I think you misinterpreted what I meant, I was referring to a Samsung 24" TN panel and it will probably be worse quality that this 22" model we are discussing here.

Hmmmm ??;)

the prices of 24 inch monitors are falling though. why have a 22 when you can have a 24?

Cause there is still over £90 difference. And aren't the prices of 22" falling too?

Don't all monitors fall in price?

Prices of 26" are probable falling too so why have a 24 when you can have 26? ;)

The gateway 24" spva is £299.

And as I said above that is a fantastic price for a spva monitor. So why are people still buying Dells for £135 more?

You have just ignored everything I said in my previous post.

You said that if it was more money than this then it was pointless. My point was that makes all Dell, Samsung, Benq 24" monitors pointless as well.

Not every same size screen by different manufacturers is the same price you know? ;)
 
No it does not a 22" spva panel has to be lower than the gateway 24" spva panel or you'd just buy the gateway this is my point.
