Flattened Multi-Touch Displays

The Ultra Slim IdeaCentre A720 Gets a Back-Bending Design

One of Lenovo's most impressive displays at CES 2012 is the IdeaCentre A720, which has been described as the industry's thinnest 27 inch monitor.

Aside from being extremely thin, the IdeaCentre A720 can probably rack up the title of being one of the most flexible monitors as well. The display can tilt from 5-90 degrees, which almost has it laying flat. The idea behind the design is to make the multi-touch function more comfortable at a near-flat angle. As for the specs, it definitely brings a few goodies to the table. The A720 is supported by NIVIDIA GeForce graphics and up to 1TB HDD and 64 GB SSD storage, which is a lot more than any average user can handle. It packs impressive multimedia features such as Dolby Home Theatre V4 audio, a 720p HD webcam and a high-definition 16:9 wide-screen.
