Buying a home office monitor is a balancing act. It needs to be large enough to do your work but not so big it takes up your entire workspace. The display should have high resolution and fast video data connectivity, but most home office users don't need the highest or fastest. And the price needs to be right – enough to equip the monitor with the features you need but without breaking the budget.
Lenovo offers a full suite of home office monitors so if you are looking for the best monitor for photo editing for your home photography business or just a good monitor for your office Lenovo will have something for you. But first, here's a quick primer on the terms you need to know and some options to consider when buying a new home office monitor.
Before shopping, home office monitor buyers should know today's size standards and some common technical terms.
Screen size: Like TVs, computer monitors are measured diagonally. And also like TVs, they're getting bigger. With today's LED-backlit flat-screen displays, a monitor of up to 19 inches is now classified as "small," with "medium" sized models running up to 20-24 inches. Monitors aren't typically considered "large" until they hit 25 inches or higher.
Display type: Home office monitors typically come with one of three kinds of display technology:
Resolution: Resolution describes the number of discrete picture elements or pixels the screen can display. So, the key is to buy a monitor capable of presenting the video resolution you expect to be viewing.
Low-end monitors offer 720p resolution (called regular HD) while more common consumer models offer 1080p (called Full HD or FHD). Higher-end monitors are available in Quad HD or QHD (with four times the pixels of regular HD) and Ultra HD or UHD (four times the pixels of Full HD). A separate standard, 4K, is roughly equivalent to UHD but uses a different aspect ratio designed for cinema display.
For more about monitor resolutions, see What is a Full HD monitor?
Response time and refresh rate: Response time and refresh rate help determine how smoothly moving images are displayed:
Contrast and brightness: Just like on your TV, monitor contrast is a ratio used to express the difference between the lightest (pure white) and darkest (pure black) parts of the display. Typical computer monitors offer contrast ratios of approximately 1000:1. Monitor brightness indicates the level of visible light it produces and, therefore, the ease of viewing in well lit offices. As with contrast, higher brightness numbers are better, with a typical home office monitor generating 250 cd/m2 (for non-engineers, that's candelas per square meter).
Connection types: Today's monitors typically offer a combination of five popular connector types (see table).
VGA | Long known for its 15-pin blue plug, VGA connectors are increasingly rare but sometimes still offered for connecting to analog displays. |
DVI-D | With a plug similar to VGA but with 24 pins, DVI-D (and its brethren, DVI-A and DVI-I) is a digital interface technology capable of transmitting video but not (typically) audio. |
DisplayPort (DP) | Created to supplant VGA, DisplayPort is a computer-only connector type that can transmit digital audio and video signals and, at this writing, transmits Ultra HD/4K video at a higher frames-per-second rate than the most common HDMI connectors. |
HDMI | Like DisplayPort, HDMI can transmit digital audio and video signals, but its ubiquity (it's also used for televisions and other devices) has helped it become the most common monitor connection type today. As this FAQ was written, most monitors used HDMI 1.4, but models compatible with HDMI 2.0+ (with higher frames-per-second rates) were becoming increasingly popular for Ultra HD/4K. |
USB Type-C (USB-C) | Top monitors are increasingly being offered with all-purpose two-way USB-C connections. A lone USB-C connector can send high-resolution video to a monitor, provide power to the monitor (or, inversely, receive it (ideal for charging laptops)), and transmit other data to or from peripherals connected to additional ports on the monitor, which effectively becomes a multi-device hub. |
With the tech terms understood, you'll next need to consider some of the features you'll want in your monitor. While plasma displays are a thing of the past and 3D screens never took off in office environments, manufacturers continue to create new, tempting monitor options.
