Lenovo L27e-30 27-inch FHD LED Backlit LCD FreeSync Monitor, Ultra-Slim, 3-Side NearEdgeless Frame, HDMI and VGA, Tilt, VESA Mount, Wide Angle Viewing

I am a full-time and a never-ending student, and I find myself relying on peripherals to improve those long workdays. This monitor is a great option to consider for those gluing their eyes to a screen all day as it is aesthetically pleasing, has pretty slim bezels, the display is pretty bright which is suitable for all-day web surfing and offers VGA and HDMI connectivity. Keep in mind that this is NOT a gaming monitor and it is capped at 75 Hz. The stand is okay. It is fine to use for adjusting the angle but not the height. Since it is capable of VESA mounting, I would rather recommend getting an adjustable monitor arm for this to increase more surface area on the desk space.

This is a no-frills, productivity monitor that might be suitable for light gaming as well. Image quality is crisp, with highly readable text and good image brightness. Colors seem a little muted, so I would not recommend this monitor for gaming or photo editing. 27 is a bit large for FHD, especially if you are used to the high pixel density of a modern smartphone. If youre working close to the screen, you may find that things feel a little pixelated. This isnt Lenovos fault - just a result of changing perceptions regarding normal PPI. The stand is not adjustable, but the monitor can be mounted on a VESA mount. Build quality is, as is usual for Lenovo, excellent, with solid construction and narrow bezels. Connectivity is very last-gen, with an older-protocol HDMI port and VGA as the only options. Freesync is a nice addition, but, again, I would not consider this a gaming monitor.

There is a lot of good real estate on this screen for what I need. I don’t do any gaming but just basic computer use. I normally use my MacBook Air with an external display for viewing. It connected with no problems and setup was easy. Turns on immediately when I open my MacBook and seems to be seamless. It does come with everything that you need so it’s convenient right out the box. I like how everything looks on the screen and haven’t found myself constantly adjusting it in an attempt to make it look better. Highly recommended.

This is a great all-purpose monitor. The bezels are pretty minimal and the monitor is extremely lightweight. Ill be using this in a dual-monitor setup with another small bezel 27 matte monitor, so this is a perfect fit. The color reproduction is very good, which I expected from it being an IPS display. While probably not good enough for professional image editing work, for $230 Im very impressed. While its not a full-on gaming monitor, the price point and feature set dont imply that it should be. With the 75hz refresh rate and AMD Freesync, this does a decent job of meeting most casual gaming needs. I noticed no screen tearing or issues with doing some light MOBA gaming. My only real complaint is the lack of connection options. HDMI is fine, but VGA is pretty much worthless these days. Not having a DVI option seems a bit strange. While converters are an option, I would expect them to err on the side of modern tech and require customers to use adapters to go backwards. However, HDMI being the primary option means you can convert to virtually any connector type without issue. All in all, Im extremely happy with this monitor. Its a great value for an all-purpose monitor that doesnt struggle in any one area.

This is 75hz and 4ms, which automatically rules it out for FPS gaming. Its 1080p in a 27” format, which rules it out for any graphic design type work. If you have bad eyes, you’ll probably appreciate 1080p on 27”. I wouldnt use this for anything other than web, email, and office work. Or maybe a 2nd monitor.

This is an excellent backlit LCD monitor. The size is perfect and allows me to work with programs like Excel at a decent size and allows so much more to be displayed. Lenovo is a good brand name, and this 27 Ultra-slim LCD is no exception. The refresh rate works for my needs and the backlight on this makes for a pleasant viewing experience. If anything changes my opinion after extended use, Ill come back to update my review. So far, Im impressed enough to recommend this monitor.

Lets get to the nitty gritty and keep it succinct and direct: Pros (+) / Cons (-) (+) Good image quality. Not excellent, but not bad. Bright enough, but a bit washed out. Contrast and saturation could be better, but thats maybe because Im used to OLED screens. Overall 7/10, especially for its price. (+) Speaking of price, its a good price for a brand name (Lenovo). Certainly not the cheapest, but at least you have the reputation of Lenovo with its quality assurance. Cheaper than my 24 monitor from Samsung. (-) VGA port over DisplayPort? What are we, stuck in the 90s? Seriously, I dont know of any modern monitor sporting a VGA port anymore, and certainly no modern graphic cards have either. Also of note, the one HDMI port is 1.4, not even 2.0, so Im pretty sure this monitor was meant for business and school settings, than for home/personal use. (+) Well, at least the refresh rate is 75Hz, so if you use it for gaming at least youll have an option for more responsiveness (but not much over 60Hz). (+) Very slim bezels. Well, at least they have modernized the looks, and it looks pretty sturdy with the robust stand. Theres even a slot at the base to hold a pen/pencil. In the end, it checks off most boxes for a 1080p monitor its size. nothing fancy or memorable, but it does its job. The most stand-out feature for me when I use it is the slim bezels, and since the price is very decent, I have no issues rating it at four stars. If youre worried about getting an off-brand/generic monitor, but dont want to break the bank buying a Samsung or Dell monitor, Lenovo is a good reputable brand with good quality control you can trust.
