A newcomer to the Lenovo ThinkVision family of LCD monitors, the Lenovo ThinkVision L220x ($499.99 list) delivers outstanding color and text reproduction and offers a bevy of business-centric features, including auto-pivot capabilities, a USB hub, and network management software. All this earns it our Editors’ Choice. The L220x uses an SPVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) panel rather than the low-cost TN+ panels found on most displays. SPVA panels generally provide deeper black levels and wider viewing angles than TN+ panels, without sacrificing response time. Unfortunately, SPVA panels cost more to manufacture, which usually means higher prices for consumers.

The L220x has the distinction of being the first 22-inch display to offer a native resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels. This panel features wide-gamut technology, allowing it to display 92 percent of the NTSC color gamut (standard panels are typically in the 70 percent range). As a result, the L220x delivers bold colors, very good dark grayscale reproduction, and excellent text readability.
