ThinkVision L150

I've been using the IBM L150 in work for a while now, so I reckon I'm in a good position to write a review.

The overall appearance is simple and functional. All the connectors are concealed within the case, keeping the appearance tidy, though it was a bit fiddly setting it up - but then I only had to do that once!

The controls are very simple to use, with four buttons - menu, left, right and enter. (oh, and there's an on/off button too!) allowing easy access to the usual brightnes, contrast, colour and position options. There's also an option to change the language to english, german, spanish, french or italian; and a useful 'information' option which displays screen resolution and refresh rate.

The power supply isn't built in, it's an external trailing lead jobbie, which means long cables and an unsightly black box which has to be hidden away.

The controls are very simple to use, with four buttons - menu, left, right and enter. (oh, and there's an on/off button too!) allowing easy access to the usual brightnes, contrast, colour and position options. There's also an option to change the language to english, german, spanish, french or italian; and a useful 'information' option which displays screen resolution and refresh rate.

Using it for work means it's used between eight and ten hours a day, every day. I didn't pay for the monitor, so I have to admit I don't treat it with a lot of respect, moving it about, often leaving it on overnight, poking and prodding it as I trace what's going on on the screen.

Despite that abuse, this wee monitor has performed admirably. There are no dead pixels, and the screen is as clear as the day I got it (smudges and fingermarks aside)

Overall, I'm impressed and would happily buy one for my own use.
