Lenovo Puts USB4 Connectivity in its new ThinkVision Mini LED Monitors

[TheLostSwede]

Lenovo has released a pair of new ThinkVision displays, namely the P27pz-30 and the P32pz-30. These office monitors not only have 1,152 local dimming zones and a peak brightness of 1,200 nits, but they also incorporate a USB4 input. Somewhat unusually for Mini LED monitors, Lenovo has gone for IPS panels and both models sport a 3840 x 2160 resolution, a typical brightness of 650 nits, DisplayHDR 1000 certification, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a 4 or 6 ms response time depending on mode. There's also support for 99 percent Adobe RGB and 98 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut, although the panel is still an 8-bit+FRC panel and not a true 10-bit panel. The downside you ask? A 60 Hz refresh rate, which almost feels like a crime, despite the fact that these are productivity focused displays.

As for connectivity there's little lacking as besides the USB4 input which also supports DP Alt mode and 140 W USB PD, both displays also sport two HDMI 2.1 and one DP 1.4 input and one DP 1.4 output. Furthermore there is one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 input, one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 output with 15 W USB PD support, four USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port and a 3.5 mm audio output. The USB4 solution appears to be based on VLI's VL830 or VL832 endpoint devices due to lack of any kind of USB4 output. Both models also feature built-in KVM functionality, a smart sensor and an internal power supply, as well as a height adjustable stand that also tilts and pivots. The kicker is the asking price, as Lenovo wants no less than €1,699 for the 27-inch P27pz-30 and €1,999 for the 32-inch P32pz-30.

Yea... $2k for a 32" monitor....good luck with that

And what's with the little red stripes... are they trying to create a racing motif or what ?

FYI Lenny-O, the Porsche theme has already been done by other mfgrs !

Huh... you know red details always have pretty much always been part of the Think (Vision/Pad/Centre/Station/Agile) line of products, right?

Even the 27" pricing is beyond a joke.

Lenoblo's harder every week.

Do you mind posting a monitor with similar color gamut coverage at that resolution and size? AdobeRGB 99% monitors are pricy.

Is this bare bones USB4 chip?

1699 coins for a 27inch display? Are you having a laugh here lenovo? Good OLEDS cost way less than that and most definitely perform better, though you suffer from the OLED weaknesses. 1699 is still ludicrous however.

OLED and 240Hz for same money. This is 60Hz rubbish and mini-led is far far cheaper than OLED panels
