Computer monitor recs for WFH

Hi, I'm going to work from home 4 days a week from September and want to optimise my computer set up. I work from a laptop and at the moment have a very average 21" monitor. I've seen some curved 27" monitors that look great but perhaps they're mostly for gaming rather than working?

I need to use multiple screens at a time quite a lot, btw.

Thanks!

I've got a curved 37" (I think) which I use for WFH. I'm able to have plenty on the screen and effectively use it as I would 2 monitors in the office.

Would you recommend a curved va flat screen, tgen? 🙂

I wonder if curved screens eat too much into the desk space?

Ours was a freebie but it doesn't eat up into the desk space for me at least. I have plenty of space for keyboard and a desktop whiteboard for scribbling notes on.

I have a 22" and a 24" screen, both on raised desk mounted supports. I also have a portable standing desk, but because of the way I've set up the screens I can't use it anymore....

The biggest bloody issue has been sorting them with the stupid Microsoft Surface laptop which has fuck all output options, resulting in £££ external conversions having to be added to daisy chain the screens.

Honestly, it's been a joke.

I've had a Hewlett Packard one for years- look at what they do.
