Lenovo LS2421p Wide

The Lenovo LS2421p Wide ($219.99 direct) is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a 23.6-inch desktop monitor that will not only save you money at the register, but help cut electric costs as well. As with most affordable TN+ panels its grayscale performance is nothing to write home about, but it delivers great color quality and does a good job of displaying tiny fonts. As a bonus, it has a four-port USB hub that makes connecting to external peripherals a breeze. The LS2421p Wide is actually a 23.6-inch monitor and not a not true 24-incher as its name would suggest. The1920-by-1080 panel has a matte anti-glare coating that works well and is non-reflective. It is housed in a piano black cabinet with moderately thin bezels and uses LEDs for backlighting. Rounded corners and a thin slice of transparent trim around the edges give the display a sleek, understated look. The cabinet is ably supported by a piano black oval stand that offers forward and backward tilt adjustment but lacks height and swivel adjustments. To the right of the Lenovo logo on the bottom bezel is a backlit power button and five touch sensitive function keys that are invisible until you touch one of them, at which point they all light up.
