Lenovo Q24i-1L Monitor Review

Looking for a monitor that you can use for your work from home needs, but you don’t want it to be too edgy or too messy on your table? Well, you might want to take a look at the Lenovo Q24i-1L, it’s one of the monitors of Lenovo that are made for people who don’t want a no-nonsense features that they can use for their everyday usage.

Design  

The Lenovo Q24i features a 24-inch display, and it does have a clean look compared to other monitors in the market as this one features a minimalistic but clean look thanks to its stand and the design of the monitor and again, it’s perfect for those who are working from home. 

First, it features a metal base that looks like giant trackpad but no, it isn’t and there are no special features for that one, but I would definitely love it if it has a wireless charger for your smartphone but for this one, placing your smartphone on this one is ideal as you can look at your smartphone whenever you have a notification.

There’s a metal stand as well and again, it does look minimalistic. Since this one doesn’t block the metal base of the monitor, you have more space below where you can place your smartphone, tablet, or your notebook. I do actually like their design choice for this one. If you don’t want to use the stand, you can remove the back and mount it on a VESA stand. 

At the back, it only features a small amount of ports at the back. We have HDMI 1.4, 1x VGA and 1x 3.5mm audio out. Unfortunately, that’s not much of a port for this one and there’s no DP or USB-C for other notebooks or other devices. 

Display

For the display of this notebook, it features a 23.8-inch display with a brightness of 250cd/m^2 and then there’s the 16:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 1920×1080 and a contrast of 1000:1. The panel for this one uses an IPS one, so the colors produced are fine.

As for the viewing angles, it was actually good as well thanks to its panel and if you’re planning on using this monitor for gaming, it features a 75Hz refresh rate which isn’t that much but it will do just fine for basic office work but not much for gaming as 144Hz or 120Hz displays are getting more affordable these days. There’s AMD FreeSync as well but it won’t make much of a difference and then there’s the Eyesafe Display Certification for longer usage

Like what I’ve said earlier, it’s minimalistic as this one comes with thin bezels on the side and some bezel below. You can also find the controls for the display below and it does come with a user-friendly menu.

Verdict

Overall, the Lenovo Q24i-1L is made for those people who are looking for a monitor that is made for consumers who are looking for a monitor that they can use for everyday usage and also for work. There’s not much of a gaming features for this one but the IPS panel of this notebook will be fine for finishing your work on spreadsheets or doing your work.
