Our Verdict

BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P

Lenovo ThinkVision M14

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P and the Lenovo ThinkVision M14 are okay overall monitors, but they're for different uses. The BenQ is a gaming monitor with a higher 144Hz refresh rate and much quicker response times, so motion looks smoother. It comes with a stand with great ergonomic adjustments, and it's better to use in well-lit rooms because of its higher brightness and better reflection handling. On the other hand, the Lenovo is a portable monitor designed for use on the go. It has a smaller screen, but since they each have a 1080p resolution, the Lenovo has a much higher pixel density resulting in sharper text. It also has wider viewing angles, making it easy to share your screen with others.
