Lenovo ThinkVision L197 Wide

The Lenovo ThinkVision L197 Wide ($239.99 list) is a no-frills 19-inch LCD monitor geared toward conservation-minded users who require a widescreen to run basic business applications. Color and light grayscale performance are quite good on this model, but features are scarce.

Good color and light grayscale performance; Low power usage

No USB ports; Limited adjustability; Weak vertical viewing angle

Good for the price

This is a good monitor for the money and given at the time there was a $50 rebate as well - couldn't be beat. The on-screen control buttons are MUCH more intuitive than a more expensive NEC that we have.

Some dead pixels but overall nice

This monitor is sturdy, has anti-glare matte screen, is fast, and looks good on my desk. Only complaint is the dead pixels in some areas of the screen. I guess that what you get for paying 70 bucks.

You may not get the same monitor as advertised.

I guess refurbished now means that you get to pick out of some mystery grab bag.

It works; Got this monitor as a gift

I did not receive the same monitor that is advertised; The monitor I was shipped was an L192 model that only has a VGA and no DVI connection; Not enough of a big deal for me to go through the hassle of sending it back, but pretty annoying nonetheless
