We design products to address the needs of different users, but we apply the same smarter approach for each. We enhance cutting-edge hardware with intuitive software solutions. These help our users to master the complex display settings, seamless multitasking through single and multi-display window control and offer easy remote asset management for IT managers. Within the Lenovo Display Control Center software platform, we’ve developed two versions to address different user needs: ThinkColor for business and Lenovo Artery for home use.
