Lenovo ThinkVision P34w-20 Large Screen Monitor for the Office

The new 34 inch large screen monitor was announced with the Lenovo P34w-20, which relies on an IPS panel with UWQHD resolution (3440 x 1440 pixels, 21:9), up to 60 Hz refresh rate, and 3800 R curvature.

The Lenovo ThinkVision monitor offers many features that should give the device a few advantages, especially when used in the office. The contrast ratio is 1000:1, the response time is 4 to 6 ms (grey to gray), the color depth is 10 bits (8 bits + FRC), and the brightness is 300 cd/m². The latter fuels advertised HDR10 support, which is unlikely to be convincing.

Customers get a 34-inch 21:9 large screen monitor with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels and are slightly curved. The built-in panel should cover 99 percent of the sRGB color space and have a Delta-E deviation of less than 2. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information on the coverage of the AdobeRGB color space, which is important for many creative people.

In terms of connectivity, there is an audio output, a USB Type-C input with PowerDelivery support, and a USB Type-A port on the right side. On the underside of the back, there are also two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2, an additional USB Type-C port, and two USB Type-A ports. With the help of the picture-by/in-picture support, you can also operate two computers at once, whereby the picture is simply divided here.

Price and availability

In summary, the Lenovo ThinkVision P34w-20 is a standard office monitor, which, however, is relatively expensive at a starting price of £830 on the Amazon.co.uk website.

Updated on July 22, 2022: the ThinkVision P34W-20 widescreen office monitor is now available on Amazon.com at $1,011.16.
