At the start of April, a couple of weeks into the grasp of COVID-19, I wrote a post for some home office essentials in order to make your new work from home reality a bit more comfortable. While I provided some insight into why a monitor is good for both your posture and productivity, I kind of left it at that in order to keep things simple and accessible.

So, while I know it’s been a while, here’s my second entry into the Curated series.

I’m going to break this down into 4 personas: the digital content creator, the gamer, the content consumer, & the office worker.

I’ll include my personal overall choice at the end, and will point out any alternatives for different budgets.
