Essential design features in the development of the ThinkVision X27q monitor were the factors slimness and performance. Accordingly, the 27" monitor has a frameless panel with minimal bezels, offering the user a pure and unadulterated viewing experience. The form of the rear cover and the high-gloss texture enhance this impression, creating an even slimmer appearance of the monitor. Likewise contributing to this effect is the metal stand with a flat baseplate as well as the thin metal tube creating the effect of a seemingly floating display.
