Thanks. I will be returning mine as it does not work with my laptop (Lenovo Flex 5). Which has the 1st generation usb type c. I'm commenting so others will know this. I did not find anything about this on Lenovo's site. Thanks, Lon.

Picked up two for $350 yesterday.
Gonna use them for trading while travelling the world.

Update:
Dual M14's work flawlessly with my 6th Gen X1 Carbon. Multitasking is a breeze while traveling now.

Mate just wanted to say that your reviews are extremely thorough! Keep up the great work.

I was able to get a non-USB-C laptop to display on the Thinkvision. I used an active HDMI to Display port adapter (HDMI 1.4, not 2.0), and then a bi-directional Displayport to USB C adapter. Can get both on amazon. I have a macbook pro 2015 before they switched to USB-C.

I'm looking at this moment it or now as a buy, didn't realize you had reviewed some months ago. Thanks.

Hi there! Thanks a lot for the review! 2 years after the review, would you still recommend this display or would you suggest something else that wasn't available back then?

[fatjesus]

They should make one of these with active pen support and a phone dock for Dex devices. That would make for a pretty cool budget, if hacky, Surface.

Great video i have Lenovo i dea pad 2-1 16 " se coneta bien con este Think Vision?

[XshadowsDie]

Vesa mount is available, there are two screw holes underneath the stand.

[jasperzhao]

Good review indeed. This will go very well with my ThinkPad.

I'm kind of surprise it only has a horizontal orientation. If you were a coder a second portable monitor that you can switch to a vertical orientation would be really great if you work remotely.

Lenovo would have a bunch of 14" 1080p IPS panels laying around LOL

[teeraparbchantavat]

Is it possible to connect the ThinkVision M14 to a PS4 console?

[wjrasmussen]

I just ordered one. That stand is nice.

[purplefuku]

It’s a nice design, but it would be hard to justify this for me, considering there’s so many USB-C monitors that support HDMI (and even DisplayPort!) If I’m gonna spend the money, I’d like to have the option of using it with a Switch or an iPhone or any number of other devices...

Love the video . Buying for surface go 2 😍

[SKSTation]

Does this monitor support Nintendo Switch display out with one single typec-to-typec usb cacle?

[williamvu]

Can you connect multiple M14 screens for a triple screen setup?

[gizmogeek]

i like this device for travel and portability.
and i noticed, that you did not test the media players like : amazon fire tv stick 4k / apple tv / nvidia shield tv / roku stick (assuming you use hdmi to usb-c adapter going to the monitor).
please let me know if that works. overall, great review as always!

what if you plug in a lightning to hdmi adaptor to iphone 11.?? it has a charging port too. so plug in your iphone charger to the dongle. tehn plug in a hdmi to type c cable. the hdmi end will go into the iphone, and the type c end will go into the monitor. i saw a video on youtube from viewsonic they did this to mirror theor iphone. i wonder if this will work here as well since both are usb c portable monitors.
