Hi RS'ers,

At the encouragement from TOS'd, I'm looking to the fine netizens of Revscene to point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a monitor (or two) primarily for WFH purposes. I do not game, so this is not important. Said monitor(s) will be connected to a laptop with a docking station and I think it should support HDMI and Display Port (just not VGA.)

Primary applications are Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Excel, Powerpoint, Google Chrome. I can get away with just one monitor but two would be a nice to have (but not mandatory. I've been out of the computer world for a while now and not up to date as to what's hot, what's cool, and what to avoid.

TOS'd did recommend or at least consider a single 49" monitor but I'm not sure how that would gel with my usage. Pros, cons, suggestions, recommendations, and do not touch with a 10-foot pole types appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Thanks!

Regards,

bcrdukes
