Monitor for Lenovo Thinkcentre

[armandine2]

I recently got a reconditioned Lenovo Thinkcentre M910q - without monitor, keyboard or mouse. Somewhat haphazard purchase, as I was unfamiliar with this Tiny Lenovo,  but the key to making a good purchase may be the monitor. 

I'm not sure how compatible all the Tiny range are with newer monitors - my Tiny has a product ID 10MUS4B600 and MFG date 1712.

The monitor (not now linked) is in my price bracket - it should be compatible, right

No point getting anything over 60Hz refresh rate and if you want it to look 'better' then stick to IPS type displays rather than VA. at 1080 21-23" is ok too.

On the back end of your Lenovo you will likely have a Display Port connector but they are typically a dual purpose one and with a cheap adapter you can run any HDMI monitor too. So this thing or similar if the monitor you find is HDMI only eBay auction: #385625651545

You may also depending on options have a VGA output but that ship sailed a long time ago so avoid that option.

So in the UK as an example this sort of thing eBay auction: #185619660507 or eBay auction: #275885061958 etc......

Dual Purpose is the lowest connector here. The ++ symbol is what makes it that.

The monitor purchase idea was to get the one where the monitor incorporates? the pc

Most of these monitors have a VESA mount option anyway so you don't need to spend the $$ on proprietary shit. So grab a Thinkcentre Mount to suit if you want to go that way.

It was going fairly well, until  recently now the monitor goes into standby and I have to turn it off and on along with the computer power button to get it to power up.
