Emailing "Lenovo's New ThinkVision Monitors Get Their Green On"
LCD monitors are pretty green, right? Compared to nearly extinct CRTs, sure.
But among LCDs, there's green and then there's
really green.
Lenovo today unwrapped six new ThinkVision monitors that are EPEAT Gold rated and GREENGUARD certified. But the most impressive one, in this writer's opinion, is the 24 inch widescreen L2440x.
The new line-up includes the flagship ThinkVision L2440x Wide monitor, Lenovo’s first 24-inch, low-halogen display that provides up to 225 percent more work area than many ultraportable notebook screens. Using highly efficient White LED backlight technology, the L2440x Wide requires only 29 watts of power to operate3. In addition to providing exceptional picture quality, the L2440x Wide is mercury and arsenic free for a safer computing experience in environments such as offices, stores, classrooms and homes.
24 glorious inches of
gaming productivity real estate powered by just 29 watts. That, and LED backlit goodness... I wouldn't mind one of those on my desk, but it would have to be significantly discounted from its $750 price tag.
The other new models, ranging from 17 inches to 24 inches, include the L1700p, L1940 Wide, L1940p Wide, L2240p Wide, and L2440p Wide. The entire line consumes 30-60 percent less energy than older ThinkVision models, according to the company.
Expect them all to arrive by October, with the exception of the Euro-only L1940 Wide, which ships on September 19.
