Lenovo's ThinkVision L174 and L197 Wide monitors join the green parade

Lenovo certainly hasn't been shy about its recent obsession with green wares, and apparently, it's unveiling two more LCD monitors to join the environmentally-friendly farm. Curiously enough, Lenovo spent so much time glorifying the low power consumption of the EPEAT Gold qualified L174 (17-inch) and L197 Wide (19-inch) monitors, that it completely failed to dish out even a lackluster specifications list. Apparently, it's hoping that you'll feel so convicted by this duo's attempt to go easy on Mother Earth that you'll just hand over your $239.99 / $259.99 without even concerning yourself with petty things like "resolution" and "response time." Oh, and that's the (likely similar looking) L194 pictured -- remember, focus on the green factor, people.

Hey Engadget- most people don't care about "response time". Does the web show up? Can you stream Youtube? If yes, then go.

I don't think I'm alone in just looking for a regular monitor & I'll choose "green" over power hungry if it's highlighted.

anyone that plays games or watches video should care about response time

Again- Most people. Low rank me if you want, but I speak the truth. Wal-Mart world- lowest common denominator.

Most people don't care. Most people that read Engadget regularly do.

Business users rarely have a need for much higher resolution then 1024x768 and 800x600 if they need to wear glasses.

Reponse time has no affect on ms office or powerpoint presentations.

All offices should be adapting monitors like this, to be using less power since most people leave their monitors on 8-12 hours a day some even never turn them off.
