3-side nearly bezel-less (2.3mm). Color Gamut is 72% NTSC/ 99% sRBG. Has VGA, HDMI 1.4, and DP 1.2 inputs. 4ms - 6ms response with VESA 100mmx100mm. A lot of the newer Lenovo monitors have odd VESA mount locations, but this has ideally located right in the center. Included stand has -90°/+90° pivot capability. No built-in USB hub.
Lenovo also offers Shop-Runner 2-day as a shipping option if you have a Shop-Runner account.

If you need a WUXGA (16:10) 1920 x 1200 IPS Monitor with similar specs that's a little bigger, they also have the ThinkVision T24d-10 24 inch WUXGA IPS Monitor on sale for $169.00. This one also has 4 USB3.0 ports, including 1 with BC1.2
Hope that helps - Cheers!

It was about whether or not the screen's backlight uses PWM, especially at a low speed. Some monitors use PWM to flick the backlight on and off rapidly. This wasn't such a big problem when screens used fluorescent tubes because those would more gracefully become black. But, LEDs switch extremely fast. The flicker may cause eyestrain. There are four options:
1. The manufacturer could use a very very high PWM rate. This is supposed to solve the issue by making the flickering so fast that it won't even strain your subconscious.
2. The manufacturer could use a constant control backlight. This has no PWM and therefore no flicker.
3. The manufacturer can use fast PWM at higher brightness levels and slow flickery PWM as the panel's brightness is turned down. (Not a good solution.)
4. The manufacturer can use slow PWM for the full range (except sometimes at 100% brightness where it's usually turned off). (Not a good solution.)

I wasn't referring to the aspect ratio to mean that its better on the eyes just because its 16:10. As noted in the comment, it was just to point out that a 16:10 AR is known by manufacturers to be used primarily in offices, thus will likely have people in front of them for hours. As such, they are designed to provide less strain on the eyes.

I don't think having 2 different aspect monitors is horrible, but its not ideal. If you can, try to find a matching pair of the monitor you already have.

For most people, the Best Buy one is a better option. FreeSync plus higher refresh and standard 16:9 widescreen fits better for what most people will use it for, i.e. YouTube, light gaming, streaming, etc. This Lenovo is a better option for me because the two I bought will be used primarily for school and work. I have a separate 32" 16:9 for entertainment purposes.

With that said I'm really tempted as 22.5" is less eye/neck strain compared to 24" (and 19/20" monitors are too small), plus the extra 120 pixels can make a difference.
Highly recommend for work/WFH, but not really for casual home use and definitely not gaming.
