> 24 hourThis is a great all-purpose monitor. The bezels are pretty minimal and the monitor is extremely lightweight. Ill be using this in a dual-monitor setup with another small bezel 27 matte monitor, so this is a perfect fit. The color reproduction is very good, which I expected from it being an IPS display. While probably not good enough for professional image editing work, for $230 Im very impressed. While its not a full-on gaming monitor, the price point and feature set dont imply that it should be. With the 75hz refresh rate and AMD Freesync, this does a decent job of meeting most casual gaming needs. I noticed no screen tearing or issues with doing some light MOBA gaming. My only real complaint is the lack of connection options. HDMI is fine, but VGA is pretty much worthless these days. Not having a DVI option seems a bit strange. While converters are an option, I would expect them to err on the side of modern tech and require customers to use adapters to go backwards. However, HDMI being the primary option means you can convert to virtually any connector type without issue. All in all, Im extremely happy with this monitor. Its a great value for an all-purpose monitor that doesnt struggle in any one area.

> 24 hourLets get to the nitty gritty and keep it succinct and direct: Pros (+) / Cons (-) (+) Good image quality. Not excellent, but not bad. Bright enough, but a bit washed out. Contrast and saturation could be better, but thats maybe because Im used to OLED screens. Overall 7/10, especially for its price. (+) Speaking of price, its a good price for a brand name (Lenovo). Certainly not the cheapest, but at least you have the reputation of Lenovo with its quality assurance. Cheaper than my 24 monitor from Samsung. (-) VGA port over DisplayPort? What are we, stuck in the 90s? Seriously, I dont know of any modern monitor sporting a VGA port anymore, and certainly no modern graphic cards have either. Also of note, the one HDMI port is 1.4, not even 2.0, so Im pretty sure this monitor was meant for business and school settings, than for home/personal use. (+) Well, at least the refresh rate is 75Hz, so if you use it for gaming at least youll have an option for more responsiveness (but not much over 60Hz). (+) Very slim bezels. Well, at least they have modernized the looks, and it looks pretty sturdy with the robust stand. Theres even a slot at the base to hold a pen/pencil. In the end, it checks off most boxes for a 1080p monitor its size. nothing fancy or memorable, but it does its job. The most stand-out feature for me when I use it is the slim bezels, and since the price is very decent, I have no issues rating it at four stars. If youre worried about getting an off-brand/generic monitor, but dont want to break the bank buying a Samsung or Dell monitor, Lenovo is a good reputable brand with good quality control you can trust.

> 24 hourThis is a nice 27” display that features thin bezels, a modern look, a good image and a VESA mount. It is a 1080p display - text is clean and crisp. Its antiglare coating is very effective. Colors look good, blacks are true, brightness is not an issue. This is not a gaming display, but works well as a day-in-day-out display for word processing, surfing the net or watching online videos. The stand for the monitor was very easy to assemble. Thumbscrews are already attached to the stand’s pieces, so no tools are needed to put it together. The monitor can be tilted but the stand is not height adjustable. The buttons are located on the front of the monitor, with a small status LED. The side profile of the display is thin at the top, and bigger in the lower portion of the display. Connections are parallel to the back of the display, so connected cables do not protrude. Speaking of cables, a HDMI cable is included in the box, a nice extra. This is a modern looking display that does a good job of displaying graphics and video. It cuts a nice profile and the controls are easy to use. Its resolution combined with screen size and anti-glare surface makes for a display that is easy on the eyes.

> 24 hourSo this monitor is replacing an ASUS 24 VG248 gaming monitor in our home. My immediate impressions include loving the increased screens square footage and marveling at how LIGHTWEIGHT the monitor is (its half as light as the 24 display that it is replacing). It also comes with an HDMI cable and can be VESA mounted. However, the mount provided allows you to only tilt the angle of the Lenovo display, you cannot move the height vertically up and down, nor can you swivel it to portrait mode. The bevel edge is incredibly thin too around the sides and top of the display. My son also uses the family computer for gaming and for this purpose you will immediately notice that the graphics and speed slightly disappoint despite the 1080p full high definition. While the Lenovo matte display has preset graphic configurations to allow you to optimize brightness and contrast for gaming, it doesnt hold a candle to our Asus gaming monitor for color depth, vibrance, or crispness in graphic display. The Lenovo also has a 75 hertz refresh rate and 4ms response rate (the default is 60 hz, which you need to change in your computer settings) which is fine for watching YT videos and for some games. However, for some rpg, pvp, or 1st/3rd person shooter games, youll experience ghosting or lag even at 75 hertz and will want something much faster. The Lenovo does have Overdrive setting, designed to minimize ghosting effects. But many gaming monitors are readily available with 144 hertz refresh rates or higher and 1ms response rates for similar pricing (especially if youre willing to sacrifice screen size or go with less recognizable brands). All in all, its a solid monitor for most home and office uses.

> 24 hourThis Lenovo 27 FHD monitor is pretty simple. It has HDMI and VGA inputs and ships with a power cable and an HDMI cable. At 27, its a little big for 1080p in my opinion. I think 24 is about as big as you can go with 1080p without everything on screen starting to get too big to be useful. I set this up in a product photo studio and have it slid all the way to the back of the desk and it is working pretty well. The colors seem pretty accurate - much more accurate than a really cheap monitor this replaces. Thats important for us as these photos need to be as accurate as possible. Overall, its a nice monitor for the price.

> 24 hourTypically I like to have a little bit more resolution for my monitor setups, but this one is pretty good for your normal day to day web surfing, Netflix watching and office productivity tools. My wife is going to use this as her main computer monitor. Its a good size and I like the fact that the bezels are pretty slim. The only downfall to this is that the screen isnt height adjustable. It can only tilt a little bit but cant move up and down. Luckily this isnt an issue with our desk setup, but I think it might be a problem for those that dont have enough clearance above the monitor (depending on your desk). Color saturation and clarity is good. Its not super great from a color accuracy standpoint out of the box, but I did you my colorimeter to adjust it. I use a Spyder Express to adjust any computer / monitor combo usually in order to make sure that the color output is good. All in all its a pretty good monitor!

> 24 hourThis is a mid-range high quality 27 1080p monitor from Lenovo. While it has a refresh rate of 75hz, its not enough for serious gamers but should be good enough for very casual gamers. It has a reasonable price tag for these features. One thing I really like about this monitor is it barely has any bezel so if you plan to put multiple monitors side by side, this would be a great choice. The stand tilts but thats about it. Being an IPS panel, it offers excellent viewing angles but the black point isnt as good as OLED. My wife uses it for her computer and it is more than enough for her purposes, which includes web browsing, creating documents and presentations, and watching YouTube videos. We use the HDMI connection but its nice to see the old VGA port available too. You can tell its not a high end monitor because it doesnt have a DisplayPort. Overall, for most purposes, this monitor is great for general household use but you might want to get something with a faster refresh rate if you do a lot of gaming.

> 24 hourThis is a no-frills, productivity monitor that might be suitable for light gaming as well. Image quality is crisp, with highly readable text and good image brightness. Colors seem a little muted, so I would not recommend this monitor for gaming or photo editing. 27 is a bit large for FHD, especially if you are used to the high pixel density of a modern smartphone. If youre working close to the screen, you may find that things feel a little pixelated. This isnt Lenovos fault - just a result of changing perceptions regarding normal PPI. The stand is not adjustable, but the monitor can be mounted on a VESA mount. Build quality is, as is usual for Lenovo, excellent, with solid construction and narrow bezels. Connectivity is very last-gen, with an older-protocol HDMI port and VGA as the only options. Freesync is a nice addition, but, again, I would not consider this a gaming monitor.

> 24 hourWanted to get a larger matching 27-inch monitor with my new one that uses less power. The Lenovo L27e has been a great choice in my multi-monitor setup, it has offered a great value with the ability to set the refresh rate to 75hz. The Colour isnt perfect but is acceptable at this price point. I havent had any issues with auto-detection and the power usage has been a great benefit compared to my old Dell u2410. Viewing angles are fine but not perfect with 60hz options on the market at the same price point that would beat this in colour and viewing angles. This monitor has no fancy features, you plug it in and go, if thats what you need in a monitor then this will be fine for you, otherwise, you can find value elsewhere. I personally think that at this price point you can do better, but this may fit a unique setup, that can call for the L27e.

> 24 hourThis is a well designed 27 screen that is thin, lightweight and easily mounted onto a VESA wall or desk mount. The display is bright and the colors are vivid. I like that it has very thin bezels on the top and sides with the controls conveniently located along the bottom of the screen. Many screens today are of a similar performance and specification. What Im looking for in a screen is great design, high performance and an excellent size/price ratio. This Lenovo L27e screen has it all! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++
