When most people think of Lenovo, monitors are far from the first devices that come to mind. In fact, even Lenovo doesn’t seem to promote the fact that it manufactures them – if you browse monitors on the company’s site, you’ll find as many Samsung and ViewSonic models as Lenovo’s own. But the company added a new low-key competitor to the heap recently with the L215P, a widescreen LCD monitor that combines a 21.5-inch 1080p screen with a built-in webcam, speakers, USB hub, and a swiveling stand for $254. That’s quite a bit more than barebones competitors offers, but the price reflects it, too. Do all the bells and whistles produce a screen worth shelling out extra for? We planted one on our desk to find out.
