The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2 is a 14-inch portable monitor. It's an updated and higher-end version of the Lenovo ThinkVision M14, with a few new features, like a touchscreen. It has a 2240x1400 resolution, offering higher pixel density than competing models, like the Dell P1425 or the LG gram +view 16. It comes with a built-in stand that allows you to tilt it, or you can place it on its side to use in a portrait orientation. It also supports power passthrough of up to 65W from its USB-C ports, so you can connect it to your laptop and charge extra devices with the other port.
Note: Our portable monitor reviews only include certain tests to better cover the intended usages, like office work and editing. The review doesn't include a number of tests, like motion handling, so the verdict scores shouldn't be compared to regular desktop monitors. However, scores are comparable across portable monitors on the same test bench.
Our Verdict
Note: The score doesn't reflect its performance because we didn't measure its Response Time. Don't compare the score to regular desktop monitors.
The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 isn't suitable for PC gaming. It can only connect over USB-C, and it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. Plus, motion looks blurry.

The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 isn't suitable for console gaming because it only has USB-C inputs. You would need an HDMI adapter to even connect a console, but there's no guarantee that it would work.
The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 is decent for office use. Text looks sharp thanks to its high pixel density, and its touchscreen makes it easy to navigate. Its built-in stand allows you to change the angle of the screen, or you can use it in portrait mode if you prefer. A downside is that it has distracting reflections, and it doesn't get bright enough to fight glare.

The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 is good for editing photos or videos. It comes with an accurate sRGB mode, and it has a few picture settings you can adjust to fine-tune the colors. However, it's only suitable for editing content in SDR because it doesn't support HDR at all. It also has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray. It doesn't get bright, either, so visibility is an issue in well-lit rooms.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 is a 14-inch portable monitor with a 2240x1400 resolution. This gives it a sweet spot between 4k options, like the espresso Pro 15, and lower-resolution displays, like the Dell P1425. It also offers good value in terms of features because its touchscreen makes it easy to navigate. It even has a few picture modes and settings that help if you want to fine-tune the picture. However, it's not bright, and its glossy coating has terrible reflection handling, so you have to use it away from windows or bright lights if you want to properly see the screen. It's still a solid portable monitor, but only if you work in a moderately lit or dim space.

The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2 is newer and higher-end than the Lenovo ThinkVision M14. The main advantage of the M14t is that it has a higher resolution and a touchscreen, making it easier to navigate. They also have different screen coatings, as the glossy coating of the M14t has clearer images, but the matte finish of the M14 results in better reflection handling.
The LG gram +view 16 and the Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2 are both portable monitors. The LG gets brighter, and its matte coating is better at handling reflections than the Lenovo. However, the advantage of the Lenovo is that it has a touchscreen, making navigation easier. The Lenovo is also more accurate as it comes with a dedicated sRGB mode, which the LG doesn't.
The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2 and the Dell P1425 are competing portable monitors. The Lenovo has the slight edge in features because it has a touchscreen, which the Dell doesn't have. However, the Dell has the advantage when it comes to using it in a well-lit room because it gets brighter and has better reflection handling. That said, the glossy coating of the Lenovo results in clearer images.
The espresso Pro 15 is higher-end than the Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2. They both have touchscreens, but the espresso is more well-rounded because it has a higher resolution, gets brighter, and displays a wider range of colors. However, the Lenovo is more accurate in the sRGB color space because it has a dedicated sRGB mode.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
