For working from home, a 24 to 27 inch monitor is the most popular choice. At 24 inches you have enough room for most tasks. At 27 inches you can use several windows side by side more comfortably. For graphic design or video editing, a larger size with a higher resolution is advisable.

Full HD (1920 x 1080) is sharp enough for everyday tasks and the most affordable option. A 2K monitor (2560 x 1440) offers more detail at the same size, ideal for developers and designers. A 4K screen (3840 x 2160) delivers the highest image quality and is the standard for professional creative work.

An IPS panel offers the best colour accuracy and wide viewing angles, ideal for designers and anyone who cares about image quality. VA has high contrast, good for films and dark rooms. TN responds quickly but shows colours less accurately. For office and graphic work, IPS is usually the best choice.

For graphic design and photo editing you need a monitor with an IPS panel and a wide colour space, preferably with high sRGB or Adobe RGB coverage. A sharp resolution (2K or 4K) is equally essential for colour-accurate design and image work.

Check whether the monitor has the right connections for your computer or laptop. Most business monitors have HDMI and DisplayPort. More modern models sometimes also have a USB-C input. Does your laptop have no suitable video output? Then you need an adapter or a docking station.

Yes. All monitors at Hej Refurbished are tested for dead pixels, brightness and colour accuracy before they are offered. You receive a checked screen with warranty that is more than suitable for professional use.

For office work and everyday tasks, 60 Hz is more than enough. Want smoother motion for video editing or animation? Then 75 Hz or higher is a pleasant upgrade. For intensive gaming, 120 Hz or higher is the norm, though that matters less for business use.

Yes, in most cases that works well through a docking station or the video outputs of your computer. Check how many video outputs your device has and which connections the monitors support. A docking station offers the most flexibility here.
