Lenovo ThinkVision 23.8" Raven Black

The ThinkVision P24h-30 is a basic QHD office monitor with USB-C and a factory calibration report. It scores 36.1 out of 100 overall, with performance in the 10th percentile. Worth considering only if you find it near $200 and only need it for desk work.

The P24h-30 runs at 60Hz with a 6ms response time, which puts it in the 10th percentile for performance. That's fine for spreadsheets and email, but don't expect smooth motion in fast games. The 300-nit brightness is okay for a typical office, though it's nothing to write home about. Color accuracy gets a boost from the factory calibration report and Lenovo ThinkColour, but the 42nd percentile color ranking tells us it's still middle of the pack. The 1000:1 contrast ratio is standard IPS fare, so blacks won't be OLED-deep but they won't be washed out either.

Stacked against the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 or the LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B, the ThinkVision looks like it's from a different decade. Those competitors bring high refresh rates, better color, and larger panels. The Samsung Odyssey G60SD and ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG are also in a completely different performance tier. Where the ThinkVision wins is simplicity and desk-friendliness. It's compact, it has USB-C, and it doesn't try to be a gaming monitor. But if you want any kind of visual punch, the BenQ MA Series MA270U or any of the others will embarrass it.

Pricing is all over the place. US listings range from $200 to $370, which is a massive spread for a monitor in this class. At the low end, you're getting a decent QHD office display with USB-C for a fair price. At the high end, you're paying OLED-adjacent money for a 60Hz IPS panel with mediocre color rankings. If you can snag it near $200, it's a reasonable deal. If you're looking at $300 or more, walk away and check out the competition.

The Lenovo ThinkVision P24h-30 is a 23.8-inch QHD IPS monitor aimed squarely at desk workers who want a clean setup and decent color without spending a fortune. It's got a 2560 x 1440 panel, USB-C connectivity, and a factory calibration report in the box. Nothing flashy, just a workhorse.

But our database puts it in a weird spot. It scores 36.1 out of 100 overall, which is rough. The display and performance rankings are near the bottom of the pile, while compactness and connectivity are the only things keeping it afloat. This is a monitor you buy for the USB-C dock, not for gaming or color-critical work.

Gamers should skip this without a second thought. The 60Hz panel and 6ms response time are a decade behind what you can get for the same money. Photo and video editors should also look elsewhere, since the color performance sits in the 42nd percentile. And if you need a built-in dock, this isn't it, despite the USB-C port. You'd be better off with a monitor that actually has one.

This is a monitor for office workers who need a sharp QHD panel with USB-C connectivity and don't care about refresh rates or color-critical work. It's fine for documents, web browsing, and the occasional video call. If that's you, and you find it under $250, it's a sensible buy. Anyone else should keep scrolling.
