Lenovo's 22-inch monitor is the first to have a 1920 by 1200 res screen, good for HD content. And it supports auto-rotation of the screen from portrait to landscape mode and 92% color gamut. Too bad the HDCP compliant monitor doesn't have an HDMI port or component inputs, alongside its VGA/DVI jacks. Most consumers are still better off with the proven Dell 24-incher, which they can get for approximately the same $550, without auto-rotate support, with a bit more breathing room for the same pixel count.
