Review on Lenovo L27M 28: 27-Inch FreeSync Monitor with USB Hub and Anti-Glare Coating - Perfect for Wall Mounting and Tilt Adjustment by Adam Lombardi

I chose this monitor because I was intrigued by the ability to use a direct USB-C connection to connect to my laptop. I like running my workstation with multiple displays (I typically use a laptop display plus two additional monitors), but I've always had to use a USB-C hub or other adapter to connect the USB-C ports on my 2017 MacBook Pro to convert to HDMI or other traditional display connection. This display, which supports USB-C input, therefore eliminates the need for a dedicated cable or adapter. A note on assembly: once you've attached the post to the baseplate, it's VERY difficult to remove. It is designed to be assembled and left together. They were good enough to include both a DisplayPort cable and a USB-C cable so I didn't have to provide my own. It's very easy to set up, and as advertised, it's all plug and play with my Mac. Connected to a laptop, recognized immediately, the display is very clear and bright. The bezel/bezel is quite thin but doesn't allow it to be placed completely borderless next to a similar monitor. I would estimate a little less than a centimeter from the edge of the picture to the outer edge of the frame. (see my picture). The only major downside for me is that the stand is not height adjustable. So if it sits too low, you'll need to put something under the base to raise it. Not critical, but an adjustable height is a nice feature on some of my other displays. The resolution was good, although with this screen size one could use even higher resolutions than the supported 1920x1080. (I know there's not really a standard larger size, but a 27-inch screen size could almost use a higher resolution to take full advantage of the screen real estate.) I'm not exactly sure what they call a cable solution. since you need a video connection and a power connection. This is no different from any display. If they could power the display from a laptop via a USB-C connection, that would be really unique and useful. Overall a good display and value for money, something to consider if you have a laptop with USB-C ports and need a small, simple cable to connect to your display. *** Please note I received this product for free in exchange for my unbiased review.
