The ThinkVision L171 has decent display quality, however only has an analog input and does not include many extras; it is just a basic 17–inch LCD monitor. It does not have speakers but you can buy a ThinkVision USB soundbar and attach it if desired. Like the other monitors in this review, it has a native resolution of 1280X1024. It includes 20 user programmable modes, which is more than most, and is pretty fast with a vertical refresh rate of 75 kHz and a slower horizontal refresh rate of 30 kHz. As far as design aesthetics, it does have a very thin bezel, the monitor only measures 14.4 inches across yet has a full 17 inches of diagonal.
Technical support is provided by telephone for the United States, unfortunately they do not have email support unless you purchase in China. They do provide an email address for the US but it is for non–technical questions. On their webpage, they post that orders ship within one to three weeks, which seems like a long time to wait.
Overall, this is a standard monitor and does not include any features that would distinguish it from its competitors.
