Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 Touch 23.8-inch FHD Monitor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 Touch (12NBGAR1MY) - 3 Years Local Warranty
An All-in-One Desktop Without Buying an All-in-One
The Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 is a 23.8-inch Full HD business monitor with a computer bay built into the back. Slide a ThinkCentre or ThinkStation Tiny into it and the desk has an all-in-one PC on one power cable β and when the machine needs replacing in three years, you swap the Tiny and keep the monitor.
This Is the touch Version
Lenovo sells this monitor in touch and non-touch versions under different part numbers. This one, 12NBGAR1MY, has a capacitive 10-point touchscreen. The non-touch version is 12NAGAR1MY, linked in the ordering table below. Lenovo publishes no other difference between them β same panel, same ports, same camera, same stand, same weight.
A 1080p Camera, Microphone and Speakers Built In
An FHD 1080p camera with a ThinkShutter physical privacy cover, an integrated microphone, 3 W x 2 speakers, dedicated VoIP volume and mute buttons and a Smart Traffic Light meeting indicator. For a hot desk or a small office that runs Teams or Zoom, the monitor is the conferencing hardware.
A Full Ergonomic Stand and Serious Green Credentials
155 mm of height adjustment, 45Β° of swivel each way and pivot to portrait β not the tilt-only stand of a value monitor. It carries EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR, TCO Certified 9.0 with TCO edge 2.0, a Volatile Organic Compound certification and Eyesafe Certified 2.0.
Specification note. Every figure on this page is taken from Lenovo's own PSREF specification sheet for the ThinkCentre ThinkCentre Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 Touch. Lenovo publishes one specification sheet per screen size and generation covering both the touch and non-touch versions, so the sheet we link does not list this part number individually β the touch and non-touch differences are called out in the table below. Where Lenovo publishes no figure β and on this product the list of compatible ThinkCentre Tiny models is the important one β this page says so rather than estimating. Specifications and prices are subject to change by Lenovo without notice.

Compatibility & Fit
What a Tiny-In-One actually is
A Tiny-In-One is a business monitor with an empty computer bay built into the back of the panel. A ThinkCentre or ThinkStation Tiny desktop slides into that bay and becomes part of the monitor, so the desk ends up with an all-in-one machine and one power cable instead of a tower, a monitor, a video cable and two mains leads.
How the Tiny goes in. Per Lenovo's own installation instructions: remove the decorative cover, press the button to open the cable cover, insert the Tiny into the bay with the Lenovo logo facing you until it rests on the stoppers, press it from the front until it snaps into position, and tighten the retaining screw. The bay itself is snap-fit; Lenovo does not state whether the final screw is captive or needs a screwdriver, so we do not claim it is tool-free.
What connects them. Lenovo describes an internal 3-in-1 cable inside the bay carrying power, USB and DisplayPort between the monitor and the Tiny. Video to the Tiny travels over DisplayPort, not HDMI. Lenovo publishes no name or standard for the connector itself.
It also works as an ordinary monitor. With no Tiny fitted β or alongside one β the monitor connects to a laptop, tower or any other PC over its own HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. The KVM function lets the monitor's camera, audio and USB port be shared between the installed Tiny and an external machine.
Before you order: check the Tiny fits. This is the one thing we cannot settle from Lenovo's published documents, and it is the thing most likely to go wrong. Lenovo's specification sheet says only "ThinkCentre Tiny, ThinkStation Tiny from 4th Generation". Lenovo's own user guide for this monitor, however, carries a supported-machine table that starts with far older hardware than the 4th generation and does not appear to extend to the newest Tiny models β so the two Lenovo documents do not agree, and neither is a complete list. We publish the specification-sheet wording because it is the formal one, and we are telling you plainly that it is not sufficient to buy on.
Also check the power adapter. The monitor ships with its own adapter and feeds the Tiny through the bay, which is the whole point β but Lenovo's documentation for its current Tiny desktops tells customers that a Tiny whose own adapter is higher-rated than the monitor's may still need its own brick, or a specific "Tiny for TIO" machine type. Lenovo does not publish which Tiny configurations cross that line. Tell us the exact ThinkCentre or ThinkStation Tiny model you intend to fit and we will confirm both the fit and the power arrangement with Lenovo before you order. It takes us a phone call and saves you a return.
Why a Tiny-In-One instead of an all-in-one PC. An all-in-one is one sealed product: when the computer is obsolete you replace the screen too. A Tiny-In-One separates them. The monitor is a good business display that will last two or three desktop cycles; the Tiny costs a fraction of a full all-in-one to replace, and takes a couple of minutes to swap. For a fleet on a three-year refresh, that arithmetic is the whole argument.
What it does not have, stated plainly. No USB-C, no Ethernet port, no headphone jack, and one usable downstream USB port. If you are cross-shopping this against a ThinkVision docking monitor, those absences are the difference. This monitor is designed around a computer living inside it, not around a laptop plugging into it.
No video cable is in the box. If you intend to use it as a standalone monitor for a separate PC, you supply the HDMI or DisplayPort cable, and a USB-B cable if you want the KVM and USB port to work with that machine.

Datasheet & Downloads
- Lenovo PSREF specification sheet β ThinkCentre Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 (PDF)
- Lenovo product page β 12NBGAR1MY
Lenovo publishes one specification sheet covering both the touch and non-touch versions of this screen size. It is the source for every figure on this page. Note that Lenovo's regional storefront page linked alongside it carries marketing copy rather than a full specification table, and on this part number its title and the specification sheet disagree about touch β we go by the specification sheet.
Frequently Asked Questions β Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-In-One 24 Gen 5 Touch
Does the Tiny computer come with it?
No. The monitor is sold on its own with an empty computer bay. The ThinkCentre or ThinkStation Tiny is a separate purchase β tell us what the desk needs to run and we will quote one that fits and confirm the power arrangement.
Which Tiny models fit?
Lenovo's specification sheet says only "ThinkCentre Tiny, ThinkStation Tiny from 4th Generation", and Lenovo's own user guide for this monitor gives a different, older list that does not reconcile with it. Neither document is sufficient to buy on. Send us the exact Tiny model and we will confirm the fit with Lenovo in writing before you order.
Is this the touch version?
Yes β this part number, 12NBGAR1MY, has a capacitive 10-point touchscreen. The non-touch version is 12NAGAR1MY.
Does the monitor power the Tiny?
Usually. The 90 W adapter feeds the Tiny through the bay's 3-in-1 cable, which is what gives you the single-power-cable desk. Lenovo's guidance is that a Tiny whose own adapter is rated above 90 W should keep using it. Lenovo does not publish which Tiny configurations cross that line, so tell us the model and we will check.
Does it have USB-C or Ethernet?
Neither. Lenovo publishes no USB-C port and no RJ45 on this monitor, and no headphone jack either. There is one downstream USB-A port and a USB-B upstream. A fitted Tiny brings its own network port; a laptop would connect over HDMI or DisplayPort.
Can it be an ordinary monitor for my laptop?
Yes. HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 inputs work independently of the Tiny bay, so it serves a laptop or tower like any other monitor β with or without a Tiny fitted. The KVM function lets you share the camera, audio and USB port between the two. No video cable is supplied, so ask us to add one.
Does it support Windows Hello face sign-in?
Lenovo does not publish Windows Hello support for this model, and this part number has an RGB camera without an infrared sensor β Lenovo offers an IR camera only on a separate 24-inch machine type that we do not stock. We will not claim face sign-in on hardware that does not appear to have the sensor for it. If it matters, ask us and we will check what Lenovo can supply.
What warranty applies in Singapore?
Lenovo publishes a 3-year limited warranty for this model. Every unit SourceIT sells also carries local Singapore warranty support and a GST invoice.
