Lenovo L15 Portable Monitor Review

Bought the Lenovo monitor and I'm loving it. High quality portable monitor. Bought it in store and one of their employees were very helpful and informative. Great experience overall

I needed a compact, simple, high-quality, secondary display to sit beside my main monitor. I very much wanted a portable monitor, but not to actually carry around with me, just not an ordinary display with the clutter of power cord/stand/etc. It will mostly be sitting in one place, but the nature of my work involves frequent changes to all the hardware connected to my system, so a degree of portability is great. What I also didn't really want was the usual origami case/cover/stand that comes with most portable monitors. I think they're great, but just not right for this particular usage. Before the Lenovo I tried an Asus Zenscreen, which was pretty awesome, but had a battery (great for true portable use!) but wouldn't power-up if the battery needed charging, which is a hassle I don't need. The Asus also had an HDMI input, which the Lenovo lacks, and also built-in speakers (if I recall correctly). Again, for true portable use, the speakers are almost a must-have, so for some people the Lenovo won't fit the bill. The lack of HDMI support is a little disappointing, for sure, but even though I would have made use of it, it also wasn't a deal breaker (for me). So, yes, if all you need is the display, and your computer/device supports video over USB-C, this is a great option. Minor gripe is the straight plug and length of the supplied USB-C cable. A right-angled plug and another foot or so of length would have been much better. I had to buy a separate cable, and (as I discovered the hard way!) not many USB-C cables support the alt mode of Displayport-over-USB, and the correct cable wasn't cheap! For me, in this particular scenario, this Lenovo is pretty much perfect. For some people it may be a little too basic, so for those people I'd say try the Asus.

I knew this monitor was going to be compatible with the USB-C to USB-C connection on my Lenovo ThinkPad, but I was a bit unsure whether it would require auxiliary power from my Dell Latitude work laptop. The Thunderbolt connection provided the same connectivity, and I could not be more pleased with the quality and simplicity of the Lilliput. So nice to have just this one cable providing the video and power to the portable monitor. Was not planning for touchscreen capabilities on my portable monitor, but for the price, this feature was a great add-on. I put this decision off for way too long...should have bought it month's ago!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lenovo's portable chargers have always been solid pieces of equipment and this one is no exception. Does the job, well-built, sturdy, not much in the way of frills but that's not what folks need it for. Highly recommend with no reservations. Not to mention the price is dynamite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very stable. Mounted it to back of my monitor. Secures the Lenovo using top of vesa screws latched into mount opening. Was worried it might fall out, but gave it a good tug and seems to hold it tightly. Install took less than 10 mins.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Excellent monitor with all features needed for modern operating systems. There are 2 things that are the most important to me: 1) illumination - I prefer monitors with proper brilliance - no struggle to see what is on the screen, and 2) resolution - I prefer seeing a document with properly shaped fonts - no boxes or raster squares. Size - it is a big monitor. I am struggling how to arrange it on the desk as I have multiple monitors and multiple laptops. Unlike cheaper monitors, this one can adjust height - excellent, so it can be a bit above my laptop screen. However, it results in not natural neck position. Something to take care of. Currently is connected to Lenovo Yoga 370 and as a curiosity - Lenovo Display Control Centre application is not recognizing monitor... kind of strange, as everything is matching: Lenovo Yoga, Lenovo USB-C cable, Lenovo ThinkVision, Lenovo control centre....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the money, this is a great addition to your Lenovo monitor. Clear, crisp sound from the two speakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Changed monitors for new office buildout. Already using Lenovo laptops, so moved to Lenovo monitors and docks as well. Didn't need standoffs on the back of the monitor for the dual monitor arms. Best looking office we have.
