Lenovo ThinkVision L2251p Wide

The Lenovo ThinkVision L2251p Wide is one of five ThinkVision monitors (L1711p, L1951p Wide, L2250p Wide, L2251p Wide, and L2251x Wide) released in late 2009. Unlike its peers, it sports analog and DisplayPort video signal connectors. The advantage is that unlike DVI , the DisplayPort connector is smaller, easier-to-handle, and supports both RGB and YCbCr encoding formats. As for the monitor itself, it is 22” wide and renders a 1680x1050 standard resolution, which Lenovo recommends for users seeking productivity improvements in a multi-monitoring environment. Additional features include High Definition Content Protection (HDCP) support, a Kensington lock for security measures, and wall-mountability via VESA standards.
