Assessed: Lenovo’s 2 in 1 monitor: ThinkVision L2321x wide

Tags:

There is a growing office trend toward having more than one computer screen per person. Whilst giving multitasking benefits this trend will consume more energy and add to the Electrical Waste pile, which isn’t beneficial to our environmental goals. Fortunately for the us & the planet, there is a display that now combines two screens into one.

We assessed the new Lenovo ThinkVision L2321x wide at our TCO Development office. The display not only operates as a normal wide screen monitor, but is also equipped with a dual display function that lets users initiate a split screen mode. E.g, with the monitor in 2:1 mode, users can view full screen PowerPoint slide shows on one part of the screen (typical software solutions are not able to compute this) whilst running video applications on the other. It is even possible to connect 2 different computers and work with them simultaneously on the split screen segments.

The added benefit with being a duo screen based on a hardware solution means that it helps minimize compatibility issues often experienced with old software-based solutions of low resolution. This means that you can avoid those annoying lines of bad contrast appearing on your screen when a low resolution is stretched across a wide screen display.

The connections used for the duo display are VGA & DisplayPort Video. The Sub screen resolution covers 1280×1024 (5:4 format) and flexible screen split patterns. The product also comes with a height adjustable pivot stand. This display is certified with the TCO Certified Edge certification because of its “Cutting Edge” high content of recycled plastic.
