Certified Refurbished Lenovo ThinkVision E2224 Monitor
The Lenovo ThinkVision E2224 features a 21.5-inch Full HD display with 1920 × 1080 resolution, delivering crisp text and clear visuals for everyday computing tasks. This professionally restored business monitor includes both VGA and DVI-D connectivity, which means you can connect to nearly any desktop or laptop—including older systems that lack modern HDMI ports. The VA panel technology provides superior contrast (3000:1) compared to standard TN panels, therefore colours appear richer and blacks look deeper during document work, spreadsheets, and web browsing.
Ideal For
This monitor suits:
- Office professionals managing Microsoft Office documents, email, and video conferencing on platforms like Zoom or Teams
- Home users needing a reliable secondary display for extended desktop setups without premium pricing
- Small businesses upgrading multiple workstations where dual VGA/DVI compatibility eliminates adapter costs
- Students writing essays, researching online, and attending virtual classes with clear Full HD text rendering
Key Features & Benefits
- Full HD 1920×1080 Resolution: Displays documents and web pages at native sharpness—text remains crisp at 102 dpi pixel density, reducing eye strain during extended work sessions
- VA Panel with 3000:1 Contrast: Outperforms typical 1000:1 TN panels by showing deeper blacks and better colour accuracy, which means spreadsheets with colour-coded cells appear more distinct
- Dual Input Connectivity: Both VGA (analogue) and DVI-D (digital) ports included with cables—switches between two computers using the front panel button, useful for shared workspace environments
- Energy Efficient Operation: Consumes just 22 watts during typical use and under 0.5 watts in standby mode—ENERGY STAR 6.0 certified, therefore reducing electricity costs compared to older 40+ watt displays
- 178° Wide Viewing Angles: VA technology maintains colour accuracy when viewed from the side, unlike TN panels that shift colours beyond 45 degrees—beneficial for collaborative work or presentations
- 8ms Response Time: Suitable for office applications and video playback without visible ghosting, though not designed for competitive gaming
Common Questions
Can this monitor handle everyday office tasks smoothly?
Absolutely. Our technicians routinely test these units with Microsoft Office, PDF viewers, and multiple browser tabs open simultaneously. The Full HD resolution displays two A4 pages side-by-side comfortably, and the VA panel's superior contrast makes reading easier compared to budget TN displays.
Will it work with my older desktop or laptop?
Yes—this model's dual VGA and DVI-D inputs connect to systems from the early 2000s through modern computers. Both 1.8-metre cables are included, eliminating the need for adapters that newer HDMI-only monitors require when connecting to legacy hardware.
How does this compare to modern budget monitors?
The 2015-era ThinkVision E2224 matches current entry-level displays in resolution and viewing angles while offering better build quality and included cables. However, it lacks HDMI connectivity and built-in speakers—external speakers or headphones are necessary for audio.

Performance & Real-World Use
After testing hundreds of refurbished ThinkVision monitors since 2001, this configuration delivers reliable performance for text-heavy workflows. The VA panel's 3000:1 contrast ratio—triple that of typical TN panels—shows subtle colour differences in Excel charts more accurately. During a standard eight-hour office day, users can comfortably view documents, emails, and video calls without the colour-shifting issues common to cheaper panel technologies. The integrated universal power supply eliminates bulky external adapters, therefore reducing desk clutter.
The 8ms response time handles video playback and casual computing smoothly, though fast-paced gaming may show minor motion blur. Colour gamut reaches 72% coverage, which is adequate for web content and office documents but insufficient for professional photo editing requiring sRGB or Adobe RGB accuracy.
