Review on Lenovo Ultra Thin FreeSync DisplayPort 65FAGCC2US 28", 3840X2160P, 75, Tilt Adjustment, Anti-Glare Coating, Wall Mountable, ‎L28U-30, IPS by Kevin Bianchi

$304 for Lenovo L28u-30 28" IPS Monitor (65FAGCC2US)? Lenovo isn't a premium monitor manufacturer. The Lenovo L28u-30 is a solid monitor, but how does it stack up at a price HIGHER than a Samsung monitor? similar specs? L28u-30 is an interesting contrast study. On the one hand, I like that the monitor has visible OSD hardware buttons that are accessible from the front. On the other hand, I don't like that the monitor comes with a bin the VESA holes are not covered by the stand in case you want to mount the SFF on the back of the monitor.The OSD looks like something from a second tier manufacturer from the early 2000s but it works.You get an IPS Panel with excellent viewing angles and enough brightness but only 60Hz 60Hz but do you have FreeSync I think that's useful if you can get below 60fps but you should probably consider other A Use display settings to get above 60 fps. So with that in mind, it seems this monitor is really just meant for productivity tasks. The resolution is good for this, although you can use a desktop zoom ratio of more than 100%. The design aesthetic exudes 'business' rather than 'gamer' if you want to look decent (but clearly no-frills). Color accuracy isn't great, but average for a non-professional monitor, in my opinion. Considering other monitors in the "4K 28" IPS segment, it's hard to say that this one deserves your money more than the others. Since they're likely all using the same panel, I'd argue that this amounts to nothing. As for the exterior aesthetics and price, the Lenovo is a solid monitor, but I think I'd go with the Samsung and save my $20.
