"Perfect" work monitors from Lenovo

Lenovo has introduced two new small LED displays, the Thinkvision P27pz-30 and P32pz-30. They now include several functions that traditional (gaming) monitors do not, such as 140 watts through USB-C, KVM, and even LAN via an Ethernet connection. Both versions are less expensive than their predecessors, although the price remains high given the extravagant equipment.

Lenovo's new ThinkVision P27pz-30 and P32pz-30 27-inch and 31.5-inch monitors have a power throughput of 140 W with USB-C. This renders a separate power supply unit for connected notebooks obsolete. Mini LED monitors from competitors frequently do not surpass 90 W, which is often sufficient, but not when a powerful notebook is under pressure. With just one cable, the notebook may be charged and connected to the additional display. A second 15W USB-C port gives extra power to devices like smartphones.

Users of Mac devices or Ultrabooks without HDMI or other dedicated display connectors are particularly fond of USB-C monitors. The monitors have a full-fledged docking station built in.

In addition to electricity, Lenovo monitors' USB-C connectors provide data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps (USB4). Two HDMI 2.1 connectors, a DisplayPort 1.4 with input and output, four regular USB-A ports, and an RJ45 input are also available (LAN, Ethernet). A KVM switch can also be used to switch between multiple players at the signal inputs.

The small LED display technology, in addition to the powerful USB4 connections, is a feature of the monitors. As a result, hundreds of tiny LED lights individually illuminate the panel, giving the monitors 1,152 dimming zones and enabling deep dark colors that are undisturbed by light from the bright zones.

Aside from that, the displays have a maximum HDR brightness of 1,200 cd/m2 and compatibility with DisplayHDR 1000, HDR10, and HLG. The color range covers 99 percent of the Adobe RGB7 spectrum. By default, 600 cd/m2 should be achievable throughout the entire surface.

Both monitors have a 4K-UHD resolution, which is 3,840 x 2,160 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio with a color depth of 10 bits (8 bits and FRC) at 60 Hz. As a result, they make ideal work displays for HDR workflows. However, 60 Hz is insufficient for gaming. Both monitors will be released in August 2023. The Thinkvision P32pz-30 31.5-inch display costs 1,999 dollars. The Thinkvision P27pz-30 27-inch monitor costs 1,699 dollars.
