Lenovo ThinkVision P24q-30 23.8" Raven Black 2024

A sharp, color-accurate office monitor with ergonomics that put most competitors to shame. Skip it if you want to game, buy it if you want to work.

The 2560 x 1440 resolution on a 23.8-inch panel gives you a pixel density around 123 PPI, which makes text look sharp and gives you plenty of room for side-by-side windows. The 99% sRGB and 99% BT.709 coverage with Delta E under 2 is genuinely good for this price class, so colors look accurate out of the box. But the 60Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time put it in the bottom half of our performance rankings, and the 300 nits brightness is fine for an office but will struggle near bright windows. The Thunderbolt connectivity is a nice surprise at this price, and the 65W power delivery means one cable can charge a laptop while driving the display.

The Dell S2725QC is the most direct competitor, offering a larger 27-inch 4K panel with USB-C connectivity, but it typically costs more and the ThinkVision's ergonomic stand is better. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B are gaming monitors with high refresh rates that blow the P24q-30 away for gaming, but they lack the color accuracy and office-focused features. If you're doing color-sensitive work on a budget, the ThinkVision wins. If you want to game or watch fast-moving content, get the LG or ASUS instead.

Pricing is all over the place. US listings range from $110 to $300, and at the low end this is an absolute steal for a QHD IPS panel with this level of color accuracy and ergonomics. At $300, you're competing with 27-inch 1440p options that give you more screen real estate for the same money. If you can find it under $200, buy it without hesitation. Above $250, start looking at 27-inch alternatives.

The Lenovo ThinkVision P24q-30 is a 23.8-inch QHD IPS monitor built for office work, not gaming. The one thing to know: you're getting excellent ergonomics and color accuracy for spreadsheets and documents, but the 60Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time mean this is not the screen for fast-paced games. It's a productivity tool first, and it nails that job.

If you're looking for a gaming monitor with high refresh rates and fast response times, this isn't it. Go get the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B or ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B instead. And if you need something portable or compact for travel, the 8.3 kg weight and desk-bound stand make the P24q-30 a terrible choice.

The ThinkVision P24q-30 is a no-brainer for office workers, data analysts, and anyone who stares at spreadsheets all day. The QHD resolution, accurate colors, and best-in-class ergonomics make it a productivity machine. Just don't buy it expecting a gaming monitor, because the 60Hz panel will disappoint you the moment you launch anything fast-paced. At the right price, this is one of the best office monitors you can buy.
