The microphone on the IdeaPad 120S is built into the top bezel, along with its webcam. At least the vocals came through clearly, with little distortion. But the percussion sounded tinny, and the strings were barely audible. When I listened to "Call Me Baby" by EXO, I could hear the bass and synth all right. The 2 x 1 watt stereo speakers reproduced semiaccurate audio that was loud enough to fill our small conference room. The IdeaPad 120S has dual bottom-facing speakers that provided adequate sound. Viewing angles were fine when I looked at the screen from the right and left. It also has narrow viewing angles image quality suffered whenever I deviated from 90 degrees, making the flip-back hinge almost pointless. The panel on the IdeaPad 120S did not handle glare well in direct sunlight. That score didn't surpass the category average (254 nits), but it's better than the showings we observed from the Lenovo IdeaPad 100S-14 (188 nits), the Asus L402SA (206 nits) and the HP Stream 14 (186 nits). The IdeaPad 120S' screen performed better in our brightness test, registering 219 nits on our light meter. I could clearly make out the tufts of fur in Minzy's pink sweater and the Jeremy Scott print on Sandara's blue shirt. I was also impressed by the IdeaPad's clarity, given that this is a lower-res screen. Dark shades, like those in Park Bom's black and violet hair, were reproduced with no issue. In particular, the multicolored walls in the background were noticeably undersaturated, and CL's blue contact lenses appeared gray. When I watched 2NE1's "Gotta Be You" music video, yellows and reds popped, but they weren't as vibrant as I've seen them on other screens some lighter-colored items appeared washed out. The actual viewing experience on the IdeaPad 120S was a mixed bag.
