get a WQHD instead of a FHD one. You’ll love it (context: i recently got an FHD one and regret not getting WQHD)

If you're connecting your MacBook, then I'd recommend either of two options

  • 40-43 inch WQHD (2K)
  • 32 inch 4k Make sure you have thunderbolt connectivity on the monitor. It becomes very convenient to connect the laptop with just one cable and even work with the lid off if the screen gives enough real estate.

With high resolution you can work like you working on 2 screens 😀

Make sure it's ips panel screen, eyes won't get strained much with it. It should have antiglare coating, to avoid reflections from room light.

Make sure it has multiple connection options (hdmi, vga etc), so that you can connect personal and office laptop at the same time.

Optional: height adjust or screen tilt if available

Aren't IPS displays prone to edge bleeding and IPS glow

I own a Samsung 27inch 4K monitor after using it for a week the IPS glow started to appear at the bottom corners when content on the display is black/dark. Thanks to 3 year warranty because if there will be edge bleeding then I'll be getting a replacement

Benq GW2790QT is the way to go. Bought it last year, absolutely loving it for work.

Dont go for anything above 27 inch, it would be too big for you. 27 is the perfect size!

I recommend Benq PD2705U, designer monitor (35k)

I feel if you have super budget, go for curved screens and do check resolution.

Are you looking for gaming + work monitor or just work? If only wok, then just get any 60hz monitor with IPS screen panel. If you have no budget constraints then I would say buy 2k monitor with IPS panel, you will love how texts are rendering on the screen, they look super crisp and overall experience increases
