Among the must-haves for to work from home, a decent appearance monitor can be the most important. If you look at two or more documents at work, point to multiple browser windows, or scroll through spreadsheets, you’ll be doing a lot more looking at an LCD with a decent screen size than your 13-inch format (or) even blink 15-inch) laptop display.
For 99% of you who are not interested in monitor technology, here is the TL; DR: When all things are the same, bigger is better. Almost all built-in speakers are bad. If you’re not a hardcore gamer or creative professional, many of the most technical specifications – e.g. B. Color scale and latency – not really important to you (and you should always take them with a grain of salt anyway). Curved monitors that fit a wide display into your field of vision without having to sit back too far aren’t worth paying more for with a monitor that’s 27 inches or smaller. Do you want to dive deeper? Read the buying guide for CNET monitors.

Note that not every monitor has an integrated height-adjustable stand. Honestly, these are sometimes more trouble than they are worth – and eye level can easily be achieved with one Monitor stand or Big book. Although all of the monitors listed below can be connected via HDMI, some are VGA compatible and some support USB-C. But not every laptop has all of these connections. For example, if you’re working on a MacBook Air, you have to buy an adapter connect via HDMI. So make sure you know how to connect everything before clicking “Buy”.

We haven’t tested this AOC monitor first-hand, but the specs are solid for price and customer feedback. on amazon and elsewhere is generally positive. You get a curved 31.5-inch display with a respectable resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, a refresh rate of 144 Hz and FreeSync technology from AMD, which automatically adapts to the frame rates of different games. It is now in stock at Target.
Acer
This 32-inch Acer monitor delivers 4K videos at a reasonable price – and is in stock at B & H Photo.

If you’re used to working on multiple monitors in the office, this single 34-inch display simulates (or may even improve) the experience. We tested the LG 34UC89G-B in 2017 when it cost $ 1,000 and found it was worth the price for gamers looking for G-Sync support through DisplayPort. (G-Sync is basically Nvidia’s version of FreeSync.) If that means nothing to you, you’d better pay less for the LG 34UM69G-B.

I have been using an older version of this monitor for five years – and it has proven itself, but is no longer available. This newer model is more expensive, but also larger, and comes with better specs, including a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, the full brightness of the LED backlight, and a super slim bezel. There are two HDMI inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2 port (and a cable) and three USB 2.0 ports.

We are fans of this great all-purpose monitor that doubles as a solid display for a gaming monitor. Although it is not 4K, the resolution is real – 2,560 x 1,440 pixels – and optimized HDR brightness curves are simulated so that you can achieve above-average results under Windows without paying for real HDR. It has a high refresh rate of 144Hz. And it has the best built-in speakers of any monitor we’ve tested recently – or maybe ever.

Lepow
There are a number of reasons to consider the Lepow USB-C monitor. This is a good option if you are working on a laptop without a VGA or HDMI output, e.g. B. on the impoverished MacBook Air. It is useful when you have little space. Weighing less than 2 pounds, it’s light enough to come with when you need to move your setup. The Lepow is connected to your laptop via USB – so you don’t need a VGA or HDMI connection. In addition, no external power supply is required, so you can use it even when there is no outlet nearby.
