[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great monitor for general business use. With the thunderbolt connectivity it opens up several additional ports and may even take the place of a docking station depending on how many ports are needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this monitor so far. I needed a new setup at home for a new job and had been using Lenovo at my previous workplace for several years with no issues so I decided to replicate my prior setup. The size is great for working, visuals are plenty large and crisp. I paired this with the T34w-30 (I don’t have enough room for two ultrawides) and the height of the actual monitors match perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice monitor. I bought it to pair with a Mac. The Thunderbolt 4 does not work with legacy Macs that have Thunderbolt 1 or 2. I tried Thunderbolt using Apple's Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter with a 2013 Mac Pro and a 2012 MacBook Pro and it does not work. Neither the display or the built-in dock. It does work with an M1 Mac mini that has Thunderbolt 3. Both the display and dock work. So Thunderbolt 1 & 2 Macs not working is probably a software limitation on Apple's end. Of course the display can still be connected to older Macs using DisplayPort and HDMI.
I also have the ThinkVision P27u-10 that this monitor replaces. The older monitor is excellent and the display might be better on that one to be honest. The first P27u-20 Lenovo sent me was defective with lines all through the bottom half of the screen and it made a loud buzzing sound. I don't know if it slipped through quality control and was defective before it left the warehouse or if it became damaged during shipping. The shipping box was not damaged. I submitted a warranty claim and Lenovo sent me a replacement from a 3rd party, but it appears to have been a customer return and had lots of dead pixels. So I returned both of them and the sales department helped me order a new one. The 3rd monitor is good. There are a couple defective pixels, but they are so small they are hard to see; so I'm not going to worry about it.
When I bought the older P27u-10 the first one they sent me had dead pixels too and the 2nd one is great with zero dead pixels. So I suppose monitors in general are hit or miss. I think you'll be happy once you get a good one. I checked out Apple's Studio Display at the Apple Store today and I wasn't impressed with it. It was very thick also. This Lenovo display is a much better value, especially with the built-in Thunderbolt 4 dock!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome companion for a MacBook Pro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this a few weeks ago to go with a 16" MacBook Pro. It not only works great as a larger monitor, but serves as a docking station as well, allowing me to keep an external drive, ethernet, USB audio DAC, and cables for phone and iPad connected to the monitor, so that I only have to plug in the Thunderbolt cable. This provides power to the laptop, feeds the video to the monitor, and connects the passthrough USB ports and Ethernet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first monitor was defective right out of the box. 2/3rds of the screen was black with irregular lines. Contacted Lenovo immediately, sent me a replacement without question. Received the new one and it worked fantastic. Boxed the defective one up and sent it back. Love the monitor.
