Looks like a good deal. Normal price is $399.

Think it is 31.5" display, but who to believe?? Dell says 31.5, Officeworks says 32.

Fluffy details:

It has inputs for HDMI and DP connections for high quality projections, as well as Low Blue Light certification ensuring that eye strain isn't a problem during use.

    Now to decide if this or the $350 27" UHD monitor from Dell I am waiting on.

    • boxall on 17/12/2020 - 13:22

      Dell is 27", UHD and 60Hz
      Lenovo is 32", QHD and 70Hz

        No, I have this monitor in my household.
        Can confirm it does the full 75hz.
        Havent tried overclocking it yet.

        • boxall on 17/12/2020 - 13:30

          Sorry meant to say 75Hz.

    31.5" = 32" FYI

    I'll believe Lenovo.

  • Chowz on 17/12/2020 - 13:24

    Bought this for the missus… Great monitor for the price. Love the size, box says 31.5". If you check the stock online and you can't find instore (always be courteous) but they may be tucked away somewhere.

    Also make sure your Display Port or HDMI cables are up to spec. I had ab old one lying around and the monitor wouldn't output to full resolution. Got a new one from amazon and all is working perfectly now.

    • MasterScythe on 17/12/2020 - 13:25

      Have you tried overclocking it at all?

      Its in my household, but not mine; so i havent tried above 75hz yet.

      • Chowz on 17/12/2020 - 13:28

        It's just used for documents, no need to overclock. It's great for productivity. I've got a Philips 43" for productivity and will struggle with anything less than 30"

      • ericc on 17/12/2020 - 13:48

        Go through the monitor menus, you will find one setting to kick it up to 75Hz

  • Navii on 17/12/2020 - 14:30

    Bit dark.

      Purchased it today. It arrived this afternoon with $4 shipping. Disappointed in the low brightness and viewing angle.

      • MasterScythe on 18/12/2020 - 22:10

        I didnt find them too bad at all honestly.

        Have you tried overclocking the panel?
        Really curious what people are reaching.

  • cortex on 17/12/2020 - 14:48

    Any good 4k monitors that are cheap? Just for watching tv in bed. I need something small under 32 inches

    • bindok on 17/12/2020 - 17:48

      Just bought a Viewsonic VX3211-4K-MHD for $479. Bit pricier but 4k and 32inches and colour accuracy is very good for this price point. Supports HDR (not sure how effective it is) and upto 75hz refresh.

      Haven you seen the cheap 4K Dell monitors?

      • cortex on 18/12/2020 - 07:35

        That's great thx

  • Xcwizit on 17/12/2020 - 16:14

    Any VGA ports on this?

    • Franc-T on 17/12/2020 - 17:57

      From the link in the deal

      1 x HDMI 1.4
      1 x DP 1.2
      1 x Audio Out (3.5mm）

      So nup though you can use a converter

      • Xcwizit on 17/12/2020 - 20:51

        Ah damn, thanks for that Franc T appreciate your efforts

      • MasterScythe on 18/12/2020 - 10:42

        you can use a converter

        Fuggin expensive though!

        Need an active converter to go between digital and analogue; and better hope the signal doesnt want you to pass a hdcp check.

    • stephendt on 19/12/2020 - 13:46

      VGA cannot do 2560x1440.

  • thebadmachine on 17/12/2020 - 18:19

    From reading previous comments about:
    Max resolution = Max screen size.

    1080p = 24”
    1440p (QHD) = 27”

    So question is 1440p (QHD) enough / ok for 31.5”?

    I think other users may have this same question.

    • MasterScythe on 17/12/2020 - 19:21

      Honestly, yes.

      If you're doing 6" away photo editing, you'll see pixels.

      If you sit 40cm+ back from the monitor, 1440p is pretty darn clear up to almost 40inch.

      Most people's TV's are 1080p; a fun test is to see how close you can stand before you notice pixels; i bet its closer than you think.

      • Franc-T on 17/12/2020 - 22:15

        I used 40" tvs for the longest time as monitors - tried to move to a 50" but then i could see pixels.

        That said Im now using two 34"s and thats way nicer experience.

      • thebadmachine on 17/12/2020 - 22:39

        Hi yes this was just information from previous deals comments.

        Yes for TV is different story. Currently using old 1080p Sony TV (40” I think), running Apple TV @ 720p and stream content at 480p ($1 cheaper rental) and it is fine.

        1440p is pretty darn clear up to almost 40inch.

        Ok thanks.
        I think for TV though your head stays more still.
        Sometimes I can notice pixels on computer monitor (24” @ 1920x1200), example: Windows text.

        I am trying to get an idea for just basic computer use (documents / web browsing / file explorer etc).

        • MasterScythe on 17/12/2020 - 23:54

          Thats more likely the pixel count of the item, not the resolution of the screen.

          Unless you're working with vectors, exclusively, a lot of what people think are screen pixels, are resolution limits of elements.

          • thebadmachine on 18/12/2020 - 17:28

            @MasterScythe:

            Thats more likely the pixel count of the item

            Oh I see. So just Windows using pixelly text.

            Unless you're working with vectors

            Ok I think you mean 3D software, yes I understand 3D software must need high resolution to prevent pixels.

            • MasterScythe on 18/12/2020 - 22:12

              @thebadmachine: Yup. Windows was not built with big screens in mind.

              And by vectors I mean any sort of image that is 'computationally drawn'.

              Like oldschool flash animation.

              You can make it one million inches, and it'll still be as smooth as the screen allows because the data is "line from point a to point b", not " pixel exactly here, here and here, want more pixels? I have no info for that…"

              • thebadmachine on 18/12/2020 - 22:15

                You can make it one million inches, and it'll still be as smooth as the screen allows…

                I think I understand. When young played with making flash animations.
                Like when you draw a line & when you click one end and change the angle of the line.
                At some angles the pixels are very obvious, but at some angles the pixels disappear.

                • MasterScythe on 18/12/2020 - 22:21

                  @thebadmachine: Its just "math" vs "exact instructions (which create limits)".

                  If I said to you:

                  "Draw a line between your car, and your house" and thats the only info/restriction i gave you, you're free to use more paint, and draw a smooth line. No matter where you park.

                  If I told you;
                  "You have 3L of paint, draw a line between your house and your car", and you were 10km away? You'd have to resort to dots or broken lines, and let whoever is reading it (software/monitor) try and "guess" how to draw a smooth line between the splotches.

                  It'll probably make it look 'ok', as there's still paint between the two points, but unlike when I gave you unlimited paint and no rules, you couldnt tell the 'other person' EXACTLY what that line should look like.

      I had an LG GL850 27 inches before and even 1440p wasn't enough for tack sharp text on Windows / Linux. (I'm spoiled by the amazing screen of the Surface Book / MacBook Air) I could see the jaggy anti aliasing around the text which drove me nuts. I upgraded to a 4k monitor which was cheaper than the LG and I'm happy with how sharp everything looks. Panel quality can make a difference too, I use a high end Dell Ultrasharp at work, and the sharpness / colour looks awesome even though its a 2K monitor. If you want one purely for gaming, 1440p upto 32 inches is plenty.

      • boxall on 17/12/2020 - 21:57

        What size 4K monitor do you have?

      • thebadmachine on 17/12/2020 - 22:45

        I had an LG GL850 27 inches before and even 1440

        Yes I sometimes notice pixels too in the text in Windows with 24” @ 1920x1200.
        Just basic use (documents / web browsing / file explorer etc).

        (I'm spoiled by the amazing screen of the Surface Book / MacBook Air)

        Yes I also notice too on iPad rarely notice pixels (maybe once or twice).
        I think it is called retina display so they have certain standard which you can barely notice pixels (even for handheld device which is closer to your eyes).

        If you want one purely for gaming, 1440p upto 32 inches is plenty.

        Yes maybe these comments I read was referring to gamers. I read this as well games and moving images is ok with less resolution on bigger screen.

  • Dost on 18/12/2020 - 12:19

    Is the power supply for this built into the monitor, or is there a separate power supply? Thanks.
