i came in to work and my viewsonic crt was dead, so I got upgraded to a 20" IBM lcd screen. this thing is frickin sweet.

product info:
IBM (Lenovo) ThinkVision L201P 20.1in LCD Monitor
http://www-131.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=-840&storeId=10000001&langId=-1&dualCurrId=73&categoryId=2581900&productId=4611686018425145760

colors are great, image is crisp, very little backlight bleed. backlight seems very uniform, and blacks are dark. I work in autocad all day, and so far this thing has been great. I love it when i get new toys.

damarble: thanks! probably the only time that sentence can be used in a positive light.

Mr.Guvernment: Lenovo keeps the IBM branding because they want people to keep calling them IBM. I had never heard of Lenovo until they bought IBM, and I'm sure there are still tons of people who don't even know that fact. I did throw the (Lenovo) into the product info to show that, yes, i do know it isn't an IBM. And yes, this thing is good. definitely better than my SyncMaster 205bw that I have at home (even tho this isn't widescreen)
