Monitors — Features to Consider

Your monitor will have a huge impact on how much you enjoy/tolerate using a computer. You do NOT need to be a “gamer” or “high-end user” to benefit from a good monitor.

If you are experiencing any issues with your eyesight, including those related to aging; you need to consider a large monitor. If when you use a computer, you typically involve multiple screens, a large monitor will significantly improve your productivity. If you are sitting at a desk or table and using your laptop screen, you need to invest in a monitor. I have had multiple clients that really didn’t think they wanted/needed a large screen and after purchasing one (typically during a laptop/computer refresh) it was more impactful than the increased computing performance.

Some large monitor options:

• Samsung 34″ Ultra-Wide w/camera — https://a.co/d/93k8wDe, good value
• Viewsonic 31″ — https://a.co/d/5W5oRb7, inexpensive but still large
• ASUS 38″ — https://a.co/d/80Q0qMj, has “gamer” features but still good value

You can use a standard TV as a monitor but remember while it is large it does not have the resolution that even an inexpensive computer monitor will have.

Using multiple screens can be a huge advantage and are frequently used by “geeks”. If you are uncomfortable with computers or technology, you will find a single large screen to be much easier to navigate.
