Without a VESA mount, or the option to purchase one, this monitor is kind of a non-starter for business in my opinion. Desk space is crucial in the office work environment. Hopefully Lenovo releases an adapter in what seems like a nice design with signature Lenovo design cues such as the textured finish and red cable management loop. I do like the Hinge, but I also want o see VESA mounting holes, even if you have to plug them.
Agreed; My setup at work is a 0-client with 4 monitors in a 2x2 config... would love to have something with slimmer bezels, but not going to happen with something like this.
Your pointy haired boss disagrees. He's been running the big high DPI screens you've been denied by purchasing since 1920x1200 was king at 1280x1024 because the bigger text is easier on his half-blind eyes while submitting bug reports about your software having everything stretched into weird proportions.
The latter happened to me, I tried to convince him to run at 1680x1050 or 1440x900 to avoid aspect ratio distortion (we were on XP at the time so DPI scaling would've been even worse) but he always kept going back to a 5:4 resolution and complaining about how nothing looked right.

That's what I thought as well.Without VESA mount this is not business friendly.

Really wish Lenovo of all companies would come out with WUXGA panels for productivity. FHD has no place in business applications.DanNeely - Saturday, January 6, 2018 - link

This is not new. This monitor came out in 2015.
