Monitor Buying Guide

Resolution: What Do You Need?

1080p (FHD): Minimum for any desk. Fine on 21–24" screens.
1440p (QHD): Sweet spot — sharper text, more space, not overpriced.
4K (UHD): Best for 27"+ screens. Essential for photo/video work.

Panel Type Matters

IPS: Best color accuracy and viewing angles. Ideal for creative work.
VA: Better contrast (deeper blacks). Good for mixed use.
TN: Fastest response but poor colors. Gaming only.

Connectivity Checklist

Look for: USB-C with power delivery (charge your laptop too), HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.4 for 4K@60Hz, built-in USB hub to reduce desk clutter.

Size vs. Distance

Sitting ~60–80cm away? 27" is the sweet spot. 32" is great if you sit further back or have wide desk space. Ultrawide = replaces two monitors, needs a large desk.
