It wasn’t just nomadic digital workers who found themselves grounded when Covid-19 swept the world. The pandemic’s resulting lockdowns also forced a lot of us to temporarily turn a corner of our homes into workspaces.
Luckily, the transition wasn’t as arduous as it could have been. Most of us already owned our own personal devices anyway, and even our tablets were good enough to get some remote work done.
Many people found they enjoyed not working in an office. And on a larger scale, this work-from-home culture has also helped reduce company spending and minimise traffic and air pollution, prompting more and more businesses to not only offer it as an option to their employees but actually encourage it.
With this being the new work normal, a temporary setup, therefore, is no longer viable for many. Investing in a home office setup that serves us better in the long-term has become vital. To a good few, that mostly entails getting a better desk and an ergonomic chair; to others, it means shelling out for the whole kit and caboodle.
One peripheral, in particular, that has become an indispensable tool is the home office monitor. There’s almost no computer accessory we spend as much time interacting with as our computer’s display, and getting a quality one for our newly christened home office setup is crucial.
Just like the wrong chair can lead to back and shoulder pain, the wrong screen can lead to eye strain and throbbing headaches. Besides helping ensure our wellbeing, having a great quality home office monitor also brings practically endless benefits to our professional lives, streamlining intricate tasks, complex workflows and multitasking, as well as enhancing how we experience our more creative undertakings.
