Lenovo Monitor, L24q 23.8-Inch Monitor, QHD Resolution, 16:9 Widescreen, 65D2GCC3US

Comment

I bought a pair of these to upgrade from 1080p monitors. The slim bezels and 1440p resolution make for a great multi-monitor setup, given you have the graphics power to drive it. If youre a gamer, you might need to consider an upgrade to your graphics card if youre planning on rocking a pair of these as a single display. Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing - Slim bezels - High resolution Cons: - only 60Hz refresh rate, I will be looking for 144Hz in my next monitor even though I love this monitor

Bought this monitor in January 2018 to use with my 2015 MacBook Pro. I was very impressed with the picture. Im no gamer but for my purposes, the QHD looks great. Very crisp and the colors are as good as I could want. Unfortunately, about 9 or 10 months into owning this monitor I began to experience intermittent issues where the screen would completely black out. The monitors "on" light was still lit and the issue did not change by wiggling or changing the HDMI cable. At first, this issue was very infrequent and only lasted a second or two at a time and would then resolve for days or weeks. Unfortunately, it has worsened to the point where now the screen is blacking out every few minutes every time I use the monitor. I dont think there is an issue with my laptop because I have tried attaching it to an HP monitor and my TV both by HDMI and both without issue. Interestingly, I have also attached my old Xbox 360 to this monitor and did not experience any blackouts. This leads me to believe that the monitor does not interface with my OS appropriately. Of course the monitor didnt progress to the point where it was unusable until after the warranty ran out so when I contacted Lenovo customer support all they could suggest was that I install driver updates from their website. I tried this using my computer and the install files wouldnt run so then I tried this using a borrowed PC and the link to update the driver on their website only downloaded a "read me" file. Completely worthless. Now I am at the point where I think it is time to scrap the thing and caution those who may be considering making this purchase as an addition to an apple computer. The one star for the picture category is not because the picture quality was poor, but rather because all too often the monitor goes black and I get no picture whatsoever. TL;DR: Good monitor but there are compatibility issues with mac.

USPS did a horrendous job with shipping this monitor for some reason, but I wont fault the seller for that. It was packed to the gills with huge bubble wrap. I dont think a nuke would have harmed the monitor. Anyway, put it together and it worked immediately. I already had this exact model and the 1 I already had was much cooler than this display but to be honest it looks better a bit more warm. Anyway, got them setup with the proper hardware and software colors and it looks bright, colorful and vibrant. Thank you!

Great picture quality (especially for the price) except that it ONLY supports full resolution via DisplayPort, not HDMI. And there’s literally nothing on the internet that explains this. Lenovo expects you to just play with some cables, test some adapters, and just figure it out.

Very pleased with these (I bought two). Very small bezel, and perfect when sitting side by side for an almost continuous desk top. The brightness and resolution seem excellent. After carefully looking, I do not see a single missing pixel. Another thing thats nice is the metal base is very sturdy. Overall, I like these MUCH better than the dell monitor that came with my PC 2 years ago, and cost a LOT more. As I said, I bought two, and both worked perfectly right out of the box.

This is an excellent low-cost 2K monitor for general purpose use. After using a laptop with a 2K display for a while, I couldnt resist upgrading my 1080p monitor for the higher visual fidelity of a 2K monitor. At 23.8", the pixels on this monitor are not visible from a sitting position of around 2 - 3 feet away, which means texts, images, and videos are crystal clear without any sort of aliasing (pixel jaggedness). With regards to gaming, upgrading from 1080p to 2K gave a noticeable change in the crispness of the images being rendered (it should be noted that this monitor is not a freesync or gsync monitor so some sort of vsync is recommended for >60 fps). Overall, this monitor, especially when its on sale, is a solid step up from a 1080p monitor.

For what you pay for this is absolutely unbeatable. A decent, pleasing designed, 2560x1440 monitor with a nice size. Compared to any other 400$ 2560 monitor this falls a little short but honestly if you are looking at this its because you cant afford something like that in the first place. It is “Good” all around. Not “Great” but by having an “Excellent” price point its made up for. My recommendation is to save even more money on a refurbished model if you can through Lenovo on amazon or eBay if you really are tight. Only Con is no Vesa mount. I planned to slowly buy three of these for Vesa Mounting but it seems I will have to get adapters, luckily the monitor place the price of a 20$ adapter still beats any other solution so no complaints!

The stand will not sit flush into the monitor; the top of there stand will not insert flush so the clips at the base cant engage at all. The stand cannot be inserted into the monitor at all. No idea if the monitor is good or not but with literally not one word of instruction and a stand that does not fit into the monitor this product is useless to me. I hope someone can provide me instruction because this is enough to make me buy a monitor at a box store. very unfortunate

This is my first 2k monitor and in general, it is good for the price. I mostly use this monitor for office and gaming. The only negative is that there is heavy bleeding on dark images and sometimes is visible on other darker colors as well. Also when moving the cursor, you can see a slight ghost effect that is a little annoying to see. I recommend paying a little bit more if you use this for heavy gaming and video editing.

I bought two of these, and I mounted them using 3m mounting tape (yeah it worked, no Im not joking). The backs are very flat, which is convenient for this sort of thing. The response time isnt amazing, but honestly at this price Im not complaining. I would recommend.
