Lenovo L27e-30 27-inch FHD LED Backlit LCD FreeSync Monitor, Ultra-Slim, 3-Side NearEdgeless Frame, HDMI and VGA, Tilt, VESA Mount, Wide Angle Viewing

This is a suitable monitor if you need a monitor that is slightly larger than the standard 24” size, but don’t necessarily need a higher resolution. While 1080p is often found on cell phones nowadays, it still looks great when displaying movies and tv shows on larger monitors. The lack of higher resolution only becomes a problem if you run complex programs and need lots of screen real estate. The display itself is pretty good: a standard 1080p resolution at a slightly higher framerate of 75hz, smoothed out by freesync. There’s no HDR and the anti glare treatment further reduces vividness, but color is nevertheless pretty good. A problem with this monitor is it suffers from annoying dot syndrome. A bright white dot sits next to the power button on the lower right corner letting you know that the power is on. It is uncomfortable to have it in my field of vision, but it is easy to cover up. Power consumption is very low, only 14W at max brightness. The matte screen really helps eliminate reflections, making this comfortable to use in a brightly lit room despite the low power rating. Despite the very low power use, it still uses the same kind of oversized power cord for desktop PCs. The cord will probably last forever, but it takes up unnecessary space. The monitor does not have a built in speaker, but a great thing about these monitors is they don’t cheap out on the headphone jack. Sound quality is as good as plugging directly into the computer. I did not notice any backlight bleed or dead pixels. When turned off, the monitor seems like it has very thin bezels but in actuality there are around 9mm of bezel on each side, with the inner part made to look like part of the screen. The presence of a bezel doesn’t get in the way and makes no practical difference, I personally am not bothered by it but it is noticeable. The menu is easy to navigate and the controls are clearly labelled. The stand is well built and allows rotating up and down. The base is heavy and also includes a handy slot for stationary or cards, making this suitable for use in offices.

This 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.

I am a full-time and a never-ending student, and I find myself relying on peripherals to improve those long workdays. This monitor is a great option to consider for those gluing their eyes to a screen all day as it is aesthetically pleasing, has pretty slim bezels, the display is pretty bright which is suitable for all-day web surfing and offers VGA and HDMI connectivity. Keep in mind that this is NOT a gaming monitor and it is capped at 75 Hz. The stand is okay. It is fine to use for adjusting the angle but not the height. Since it is capable of VESA mounting, I would rather recommend getting an adjustable monitor arm for this to increase more surface area on the desk space.

This is 75hz and 4ms, which automatically rules it out for FPS gaming. Its 1080p in a 27” format, which rules it out for any graphic design type work. If you have bad eyes, you’ll probably appreciate 1080p on 27”. I wouldnt use this for anything other than web, email, and office work. Or maybe a 2nd monitor.

So 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.

This is an excellent backlit LCD monitor. The size is perfect and allows me to work with programs like Excel at a decent size and allows so much more to be displayed. Lenovo is a good brand name, and this 27 Ultra-slim LCD is no exception. The refresh rate works for my needs and the backlight on this makes for a pleasant viewing experience. If anything changes my opinion after extended use, Ill come back to update my review. So far, Im impressed enough to recommend this monitor.

Wanted 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.

This 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.

I like the build and design of this Lenovo monitor. I find it both practical and aesthetically pleasing. It also has nicely integrated functional extras like a pen tray and cable management cavity. The chassis thin, he bezels narrow and the stand occupies a relatively small footprint for the display size. However, despite these favorable attributes, I have trouble mustering up little more than a meh worth of enthusiasm for the actual display. Colors on the matte display seem accurate but a bit washed out and dim. I realize this is a highly subjective opinion and some users may prefer this display over an overly bright display with artificially deep, saturated rendered colors. I just happen to prefer the latter. In addition to being dim and having washed out colors, the FHD resolution also seems slightly grainy with visible pixels. I downloaded and installed Lenovo’s Artery application with the intention of fine-tuning the display but was disappointed to discover it offers little beyond the default hardware button controls. Gamma adjustment capability would have been useful but is not offered. The only major feature found in Artery that is not available in the default hardware buttons is the screen partition option. It allows the screen to be divided up into separate windows. This feature is more useful on a Mac than Windows because Windows has had similar functionality for years now. The monitor has an overdrive feature that worked well when tested. I was able to test and observe incremental improvements in tracking between overdrive being set to off, normal and extreme. This would be helpful for watching videos or gaming. One major glaring weakness of this monitor is the limited connectivity options. Inputs are limited to only one HDMI and one VGA. That’s it. There’s no DisplayPort, no USB-C, no Thunderbolt nor even a DVI. I needed a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter just to use it with an HP EliteBook. Since no one really uses VGA anymore, it’s essentially like only having a single HDMI port for connectivity. This would be a decent monitor for business or desktop productivity use but it’s too limited in too many areas for much use beyond that.

This 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.
