Lenovo L220x 22-inch WUXGA widescreen HD monitor

Interesting - all the reports on it are saying it's 1920x1200 & 178° view angle, and 'slashgear' state the specs are provided by Lenovo.

Is it too much to hope that this could be an IPS panel? Still at least it's a credible alternative to all the cheap as possible TN rubbish out there currently.
 
Looks like a perfect screen for anyone who thinks 24 inch is too big and can deal with a small 0.255mm or so pitch.

But i will say the main concern for me will be that the price will be only slighty cheaper or same to the proven 24 inch Dells - so why not the Dell? . .
 
Interesting.....the "178 degree" viewing angle suggests that they use something other than a TN panel.:eek: Even the "6ms" isn't enough to disqualify it from being a non-TN because the NEC 20WMGX2 is rated @6ms with their AS-IPS panel. Is anyone aware of LG/philips, AU Optronics, Samsung or Chimei (or any other) making a 22" panel @1920x1200?

It is too much to hope for IPS panel - Slashgear contacted Lenovo who confirm an S-PVA panel (scroll to the end of the comments on the original link)
 
Release price of $550 estimated. If its true then it is near 24 inch (TN?) territory. Hopefully other manufactureres will follow suit and there will be more competitive pricing, as intial releases and Lenovo always have a slight price premium.
 
The Lenovo L220x will arrive in November in the U.S. for an announced price of $550.

This brings us to the second part concerning this news: Is this really of interest? It’s not sure. Let’s take the symbolic monitor, the Dell 2407WFP-HC, which is offered for the « on sale » price in the USA (either way this is the way this company functions) of 569 $. This is today and not in November. Nothing indicates that in two months it won’t be cheaper and we could even assume the opposite. So what then is the interest of the Lenovo 22 inch? The same price for smaller and with a tighter pitch ? For those that don’t have 20/20 vision, the font and icon sizes wil have to be increased with such a screen. In addition, and not to disadvantage Lenovo, but for an equal price a choice between this brand and Dell may often result in the latter. Especially if we add all the pluses like an integrated card player for Dell.

well, I know that when they reviewed crt monitors, the dot pitch was important. the lower the pitch , the more sharper the image is/was.

I think this is a real plus for a lcd monitor with such a low dot pitch.

I currently still have an crt (lacie electron 19 blue IV) and working on a resolution of 1280x1024. I can set it at 1600x1200, but its just a tad too high. Because its an crt you have only a visible screen of 18 inch.

So when you compared it with an 22inch wide screen LCD , you gain a bit on the height.

So I think its gonna be a perfect size for that monitor
But gonna wait for the reviews since the recent problems of the dell 2407-hc and the samsung 245T (hopefully they release new revisions for them).

anyone know witch panel (brand) its gonna use ?

lol

i dont know which mole wrote that review, but this would mean that my eyes score 35/20 :)

i even have 1920x1200 on a 15,4 inch lcd...

now i know you need good eyes for that, but also almost everyone in our office (dozens) work @ 1600x1050 on a 15,4 inch, which is still a higher dot pitch then that silly 1920x1200 on a 22 inch

so no, i dont think you need such good eyes for this resolution on a 22 inch... i think its perfect
 
PEOPLE IN EUROPE, BUY THIS MONITOR WITH CAUTION!

I say this because all swap-outs are handled by a 3rd party company called Teleplan and believe when I say, they are nothing but trouble.

lol

teleplan?

i once worked there as a "job student" :)

but this means there actually are lenovo monitors in EU?
 
there are and I actually have the 20" in front of me. Its a good monitor with excellent 'MVA panel by AUO but, teleplan totally ****** up the gamma, EDID (on both VGA and DVI), color and picture processing.

The long story is I bought a 22" IBM CRT monitor from eBay. It was nearly perfect at first but the brightness was way too low. So IBM agreed to replace it (since there was 2 months warrienty left). The replacement monitor arrived and it looked perfect (cosmetically that is it). When I powered it up, it was immediately apparent that someone has totally messed up the brightness settings on the service menu. Because, even at zero, blacks were still grey.

I phoned up IBM and asked for another replacement, this time, they have send me a 17" instate of a 22". Funny enough, it had the same elevated brightness problem as the replacement 22". Anyway, this took another two weeks to get sorted.

After they picked up the 17" (and not the 22"), they've send me an 20" LCD instate. This was a pain because I couldn't send the 22" CRT back due to the box size (but thankfully I found my old Sony box and used that lol).

After all that hassle and heavy lifting, I still don't have a fully functioning monitor. Good thing I only spend £100.
 
This screen won't sell here in the uk if it's £350-£400 and it's likely to be £400 man forget that you can get the lg or dell 24" for £385 delivered.

£385 is a very good price. Care to share where to get it in UK?
 
Yes but the lure of a bigger screen will be too much i feel,i for one would rather get a 24" spva than a 22" at these prices as all you are getting really is a tighter pixel pitch and a better viewing angle from below the screen.
 
This monitor doesn't have a HDMI port.

For $550 I rather spend extra $50 and get a 24 inch BenQ (VGA,DVI,HDMI,etc).
 
When Lenovo says it will be abailable in November for $549.... does that mean we will have to pay full price for it. How much off retail price do their products sell for and where can you get them.

Will we be stuck only buying from Lenovo direct??
 
The Lenovo site says it ships in 1-2 weeks. Price from Lenovo is $499.99

As an IBM employee I can get it for $399.99, plus shipping etc., and I'm somewhat tempted.
