Lenovo announced the latest additions to its ThinkVision monitor portfolio ushering a new level of energy-efficiency for PC displays.
The new ThinkVision L1700p, L1940 Wide, L1940p Wide, L2240p Wide, L2440p Wide and L2440x Wide monitors use 30-60 percent less energy than previous ThinkVision models, are Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold rated and GREENGUARD certified, and include packaging for select models with 65 percent recycled materials.
"During past PC/monitor refresh cycles, the ability to cut down energy costs was associated with the transition from power-hungry CRTs to less energy-consuming LCD monitors," said Chris Connery, vice president, PC and large format commercial displays, DisplaySearch. "The reduction in power consumption by new displays such as Lenovo's new LCD ThinkVision monitors is significant in terms of the potential longer term effect on the environment."
The new lineup 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 White LED backlight technology, the L2440x Wide requires only 29 watts of power to operate. In addition to providing picture quality, the L2440x Wide is mercury- and arsenic-free.
The latest ThinkVision monitors' enhanced features include: a new display design on select models uses LCD light more efficiently; a new ergonomic stand on select models to provide customizable heights, pivot and swivel options. The stand also provides an improved enclosure design that enables quick set-up and streamlined cable management.
Tom Shell, vice president of visuals, Lenovo, said, "We are committed to offering users environmentally-responsible technologies with 17 ThinkVision monitors that are EPEAT Gold rated, of which 11 are also GREENGUARD certified. Our latest additions to the ThinkVision family provide a lower total cost of ownership, and will help them reduce their carbon footprint."
The monitors offer contrast ratios of up to 1000:1, five millisecond response time and 1920x1200 resolution. Select models include four high-speed USB ports and DisplayPort for added flexibility.
The Lenovo ThinkVision L1700p monitor is available worldwide beginning September 19 through Lenovo Business Partners. The ThinkVision L1940 Wide monitor is available in European markets only beginning September 19. Additional models will be available worldwide beginning in October. Starting prices range from $239.99 for the ThinkVision L1700p to $749.99 for the ThinkVision L2440x Wide.
