[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, the contras, that may not be relevant for you.
- If the KVM is important to you, look somewhere else. The KVM of this monitor is quirky when it works. Most times it doesn't work. It is uncapable of waking up a PC that was sleeping, so you need to wake up the PC, then switch to it.
- Controls are outdated. Modern monitors come with a joystick to operate the OSD, but this still uses the row of buttons.
- PC software only works in Windows 10, not Windows 11.
- Black is not very dark.
- In hopes to improve the KVM, I searched for a firmware update. There's no tool available, meaning that Lenovo does not plan to update its firmware. This may change in the future.
Now the pros:
- Excellent color! Delta E smaller than 0.5, which is great. Means that the color presented on the screen is very close to the color sent by the PC.
- Impressive color space. 100% sRGB and more than 95% AdobeRGB and DCI-P3.
- Very good number of ports. I removed a number of cables, KVM and USB hubs when I installed this monitor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this monitor to be used side by side with my Dell Ultrasharp FHD one. The 4K resolution is so much better for viewing text at work, not to mention getting the best out of 4K videos/movies. Out of box, the color is so much more vibrant and accurate compared to my older monitor. That motived me to go through my photo collection again and I got better memory about the trips I went for taking those photos. My measurements with a Spyder Pro indicate 100% coverage for Adobe RGB color gamut, matching the specifications. The thunderbolt connection also works great with my laptop, and I can actually use the one-cable solution without worry about balancing bandwidths for video and data signals. I really believe that Thunderbolt or USB C 4 IS required for a 4K monitor which is also used as hub.
Please fix the issue with miltiple P27u-20 reporting the same "EDID UUID" and empty SerialNumber. This causes problems in MacOS which uses this information to correctly identify (and distinguish) multiple display monitors connected via thunderbolt.

[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.] 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.
