Lenovo's ultra-light battery-free display is the dream of teleworkers

Design

There have been a variety of portable monitors for many years, but most of these devices tend to be quite large devices. On the other hand, the ThinkVision M14 is a slim display; it is only 4.6 mm thick and weighs only 595 grams. It's too thin, it can actually be placed in the same bag or case as the laptop, which really illustrates the portability of this extra display.

And, the reason why it's so lightweight, it's just a screen with almost no other components - not even a battery. But don't let it disappoint you because it has a fairly innovative way to attract energy, which we will explain further.

All of the device's electronics are mounted on a small stand with a yoga hinge that is close to a flat screen that can be made completely flat. More importantly, an extra small stand can be used to adjust the height of the display. If you need to use both a laptop and a monitor, it has a good height adjustment range. Or, if you are like us and have a monitor on top of your laptop, there is a standard 100mm VESA mounting pattern ...
... on the back to fit the stand.

Display

This may be part of the M14 that needs improvement because its actual screen is different from the new ThinkPad and IdeaPad models. So if you hook up the ThinkVision display, the ThinkPad T490 can choose a higher specification 4K HDR Dolby Vision panel, so you will notice the difference as you move your work.

However, this is not to say that the M14 is a low quality screen.

This is an FHD 14-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Although it is not a precise leading edge, it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a brightness of 300 nits. In terms of color performance, you will see 72% NTSC and low blue light emissions. So it won't be much lower than the standard.

Specifications and Features

So there is no battery on ThinkVision, and the rest of the components and wiring are installed in the ultra-thin bracket. This leaves a question about where the power comes from? The answer is that there are two USB-C ports on both sides of the device.

Your USB-C laptop cable can be connected directly to and powered by the monitor and powered through and powered by the laptop. This is smart because you can connect your laptop to the monitor from either side, no matter which port you can use to charge your device.

Therefore, if your laptop has a USB-C charger port, you can use Lenovo ThinkVision. Smart and portable.
Verdict

Beyond that, this is a creative addition to any laptop. Moreover, it is only $249 (about 188 pounds) cheaper. For many people, having an extra screen is a must, and for those working remotely, this is usually not possible, but the ThinkVision display is a great choice for light weight and small size. This can be easily put into a laptop carrying case, cleverly using the USB-C port, and one less charger.
