What's great about it: HD, LED for low energy consumption and sharp image, sleek design
What's not so great: Lack of HDMI, Does not include DVI cable
Literally my only complaints about this monitor is the lack of HDMI input and that it doesn't include a DVI cable. That is balanced by the fact that I paid $110 or so on this monitor. The DVI cable thing is annoying since many places carry the older VGA but not the newer DVI thanks to the ubiquity of HDMI.
Image quality is superb. I'm a huge fan of the clarity of LED screens. The frame of this monitor is black brushed metal, likely aluminum though the body is mostly plastic.
The monitor is light and thin, easy to attach the base and even comes shrouded in a big handled bag (think reusable fabric shopping bags, only twice the size).
It includes DVI-D and VGA inputs on the back.
The buttons to active the menu and power are touch sensitive rather than push button. This adds a bit more style to a great monitor.

What's great about it: HD 1080p graphics for video.
This is just the right size for my computer desk as it's the smallest size that has 1080p video. The video is excellent and the price was right.
No cons for me.

What's great about it: Nice size and adjustment range.
What's not so great: Low contrast on adjustment buttons.
This monitor replaces an old CRT based unit that was 10 years old. This was the second computer system I'd used the CRT on, and while I'm due for a system upgrade, my finances aren't quite up to that stage yet. So, when I noticed the edges of objects and especially text starting to waver and shimmy, I knew it was time for a replacement. I agree with some other reviewers about the low-contrast markings on the adjustment buttons, they can be VERY hard to see, and take a bit of getting used to. The reactions of the buttons, primarily Power, can be a bit touchy. The drivers installed well and adjustment is generally straight-forward. Screen image is clean and crisp with no apparent distortions or dead pixels. The included VGA cable was adequate for my needs. So far I am very pleased with this product.

Love this monitor. Much better than my laptop screen, and it's the perfect size...not too big, not too small. The design is excellent, the touch-sensitive buttons are cool. The fact that it has angle adjustment is AWESOME. The stand seems to allow the screen rock a little bit though.

The picture quality bites, has an icon for adjusting color but unable to access it. The contrast is way to high even when trying to adjust. No customer support, calling lenovo's main support is a joke.... Will be taking this one back. Better produces within this price range.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Solid, good quality, will probably last a while
What's not so great: Controls a bit unwieldy, lack of features, no HDMI input
It's a really well put-together monitor. The screen is bright without being washed-out, and the whole thing really feels like it's going to last for ages. Color depth is really good, and it's in the running for the best LED monitor I've ever seen.
As for the minor quibbles: The controls on the monitor are touch-sensitive, which means they're a little unwieldy until you get used to them. The power button is recessed and requires a double-tap to turn off, making it almost impossible to switch off automatically. But the other controls (brightness, menu, etc) are a little hard to handle. Also, the monitor came out of the box with sound turned on; a little beep that sounded every time you hit a button. Annoying, but you can turn it off. I did, first day.
Finally, it is a VGA monitor. No HDMI support. Kind of sad, really.
The quibbles aside, though, this is a really good monitor, and I'll probably keep it for quite a while.

What's great about it: Beautiful quality, easy set up, good price, metal stand.
What's not so great: dust magnet but easily cleaned, no HDMI.
Id like to just say this is a very worthy monitor. It has 1920 x 1080 resolution. The colors come in excellently. Bonus, there is very little fade. Comes with a dvi and analog port, but the analog port is adequate for HD quality images and videos. Unlike most other monitors for this price, this one comes with a METAL base mount. It is not made of glass like most other ones. and trust me, metal base equals awesome. There is very little downward angle, so if your looking up at it, there will be a little fade. I suggest getting the package that includes this monitor, as the computer that is in that package is excellent as well. Though, the plastic parts of this, are dust magnets but are also the type of plastic that is easily wiped off with a damp cloth. Oh, it comes with a microfiber cloth that is used to clean the screen and dust. I use a similar cloth for my glasses. The only bad thing i have about this is that there is no HDMI port. But the analog is adequate for me.

What's great about it: contrast, 1920 x 1080, cable mannagement, Touch pannel controls, Value
What's not so great: Conectors where a little difficult to get in
Large screen was my primary decision for this model. When I came home I was quite satisfied with it. The only real issue I had was the cables where a little difficult to plug into, however the monitor has a great cable management clip in the back.

What's great about it: set up and picture quality
I Shopped around and liked a couple of other monitors in a similar price range. The overall value of screen size, price and picture quality made me choose the Lenavo. An added bonus is the ease of physically setting up the monitor on it's stand. No screws or tools needed.

What's great about it: Color quality, display quality, build quality
What's not so great: None
Not all monitors are created equal. There can be VAST differences between displays of similar price. This Lenovo is bright, has good black levels and amazing saturation. The controls are very nice and even give audible beeps letting you know you've hit the button. It has a solid display stand with actual metal in it (not just flimsy plastic. They even came up with a wonderful modified wingnut design to attach the base without any tools (no plastic snaps). Yes it may be thicker than other LED monitors, but anyone who uses that as a measure of quality doesn't know how to shop for a monitor. It feels like a quality product through and through. At least compared to other similarly priced monitors. Skip Acer, AOC, Samsung and Viewsonic and get this monitor if you want high resolution at a 21.5" size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to set up, Great price and value.
What's not so great: Sometimes gets stuck in sleep mode if you don't turn off right away. Unplug, plug, all set.
What a difference this monitor makes. I replaced my old 17 inch AOC (5-6 yrs old). Which I really liked but if you buy a new computer package and you basically are getting the monitor for free what's not to love? The picture is so clear and vibrant. I'm very happy with it.
