Start with what matters in your day.
- panel, resolution, and refresh rate
- ports, power delivery, and KVM workflow
- desk depth, text clarity, and warranty coverage
Check desk depth, text clarity, inputs, and power delivery before narrowing your choice. Everyday use can also vary with panel variance, real HDR brightness, operating-system scaling, and viewing distance.
If your shortlist includes an OLED model, check its burn-in warranty coverage too.
