The Lenovo L2230x Wide USB Port Replicator Monitor – For You and the Planet!

The Lenovo L2230x Wide display carries the label TCO Certified Edge, meaning it has an extra beneficial quality over the criteria we normally esteem for both You and the Planet (read more about Lenovo’s TCO Certified Edge display). Another usability quality about this display that has impressed us still more is its ability, via a single USB contact, to replicate a Laptop computer without the need of a docking station.

We assessed the Lenovo L2230x USB port replicator at our office and agree with Lenovo that this display allows the user to connect all peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, speakers, microphone, LAN access, whilst it extends the notebook display to a full HD format with only one USB connection between the notebook and the monitor.

This functionality really fits into the concept of “you and the planet” as it feels extremely handy to come to the office and with only one USB contact replicate a Notebook on a desktop monitor without the need for a docking Lstation. We also value innovative displays such as the L2230x from an environmental perspective since it eliminates the need for additional office equipment (docking station) such that causes E-waste.

Bravo Lenovo !

Green All in One Usability

All in One PCs – a computer and display in a single unit – are a great way to get the performance of a desktop PC without the cable clutter of a separate CPU and monitor. The compact design of an AIO also enables the user to conserve space on the desktop. Ideal where space is limited or when the user wants to maintain a clean look on the work surface or having a free space under the work surface.

TCO Certified is your assurance that your AIO delivers all the visual performance you expect from a freestanding monitor – outstanding color, luminance and resolution. It fulfills some of the toughest environmental criteria around – from strict limits on hazardous substances and energy consumption, to designed for recycling. It fulfils a brand commitment to socially responsible manufacturing practices. Add to this the criteria for safety, usability and low emissions and you can be sure that every product bearing the TCO Certified label is among the very best.
AIO is the latest addition to the family of TCO Certified for PCs. First out to certify AIO is Lenovo, hereby congratulated.
