Review ThinkVision P27h-20 monitor

Recently, Lenovo released four new generation ThinkVision desktop monitors for businesses with high-quality visuals, ergonomics, and ease of use. use.

Among the most advanced is the ThinkVision P27h-20 which has the best equipment for creators. If you remember, earlier this year, Apple released the $ 5,000 Pro Display XDR that was deemed too expensive. Meanwhile, for those who use the Windows operating system, slightly smaller, about 27 inches, 4K standard Lenovo also introduced ThinkVision Creator Extreme at CES 2020 as one of the first Mini LED screens launched with price is also about 2500 USD.

Both are the top products, but not everyone can make such large investments, especially businesses that need to invest in large quantities, so the ThinkVision P27h-20 model was born. a shortened version from ThinkVision Creator Extreme but still offers the most practical value for designers, priced at one-seventh.

Design As a product of the Lenovo brand, the ThinkVision P27h-20 still inherits its characteristics when using a simple design, using mainly straight lines, square, strong but with ergonomics. , very important factor for those who do creative work.

This screen can change many angles, the stand rotates 360 degrees, changes the height of 135mm, the screen can be rotated 90 degrees vertically and facing up (5-35 degrees) if needed. ThinkVision P27h-20 can satisfy the most comfortable posture and suitable for the user's height.

The stand is only made of plastic, but still shows the certainty, not shaking, pairing together very easily, it only takes 1 person more than 1 minute to mount the screen on, no tools needed because they are all articulated.

The stand also has a rubber strap that can be adjusted for the user to wire neatly. Right in front of the stand, there is a gap, decorated in red, where the user can place the smartphone to focus on work but also do not miss important announcements or can be used to brush.

Contrary to the sturdy look on the back, the front of the ThinkVision P27h-20 is very attractive with the thin bezel on all 4 sides, if only the screen border is at 2mm, the display screen occupies 92.24 % of the front, but in fact the inside panel does not show close to the edge, so the total size of the black part is about 10mm.

Anyway, it's fine to make sure the user doesn't get distracted by the surroundings, concentrating heavily on the displayed content. The buttons to adjust the screen are located on the back, the design is quite nice and intuitive enough, easy to use. The only unsatisfactory point is that the swivel joints on this screen are not as smooth as high-end screens. Display quality

Compared to the Creator Extreme, the ThinkVision P27h-20 still has the same 27-inch screen size but has had some cut to a good price, the P27h-20 has a QHD 1440p resolution, instead of 4K, an IPS panel, 60Hz refresh rate, support 85% DCI-P3, 99% sRGB color range, 178 degree viewing angle, 6ms response time. The P27h-20's 250 nits peak brightness is only a quarter of that of the Creator Extreme.

With this brightness, the P27h-20 is only suitable for indoor work, it will be quite low if taken outdoors, the manufacturer has compensated with a special coating on the surface to prevent glare.

Regarding the detail, color, and contrast of this screen, there is nothing to criticize, very accurate representation, the color standard has been calibrated since the factory. Fliker-free technology and blue light filter help protect the user's eyes. ThinkVision P27h-20 is aimed at designers, working mainly with still images, so the high frequency scan is not too important, 60Hz is reasonable.

The only weakness of this screen's display is that the edge of the screen is still exposed due to the weak point of the IPS panel. Add-ons One of the most valuable features of the ThinkVision P27h-20 is the use of only one USB-C port to connect everything. If you own a new laptop with a USB-C port like a MacBook, the manufacturer has bundled a 2-C cable to connect immediately.

In addition to transmitting display and audio data to the display, the ThinkVision P27h-20 can also charge laptops with a capacity of 65W. This makes the working corner easier to call, just leave the ThinkVision P27h-20 at work, then bring up your laptop and connect and you can work immediately.

With its ergonomic design, good display quality, accurate color rendering, multiple customization options, and a variety of features, the ThinkVision P27h-20 is a brilliant monitor choice for video designers or editors. image. 

The weakness of the light opening or the joints are not really smooth is only a very small matter, you will have a quality design screen but the price is only a fraction of the high-end screen.
