Best monitor setup for a lawyer? I want to do a full home office set up and thinking of using two curved 32” wide screen monitors

I think that is a bit excessive, since that 32” will probably be enough for 3 documents side by side. But if you’re willing to spend some cash, go for it.

I have a 24” 1080p screen with a basic keyboard and mouse and it’s great for working from home (I use the laptop as a second screen though). It’s the same thing as if I were in the office except I’m in PJs

I used to have that monitor as a single set up. My wife's work then gave her a dual 20" screen workstation. I really preferred the single 32" over the dual 20" monitor setup. 2x32 would be excessive. I also don't like the curved screen on a dual monitor setup which I tried at work.


Buy one screen, use the saved $ to buy a mechanical keyboard.

I have the exact same one in the link and can only imagine having one. Two of that size is excessive I’d say. This already takes up a fair amount of room on a large desk

I have two 28-inch wide screen monitors for my at-home station. One thing to note is that Citrix doesn’t always work across two at-home screens if you have a Mac - at least, it doesn’t for my firm’s network. I end up using the second monitor for everything else. Regardless, double wide monitors are the way to go, the more the merrier.

Overkill, you’re just doing word processing/emailing and browsing.

You shouldn’t need to go beyond 27” for this, and even then, 4k 27” is way too much. Stick to 1080p, unless you plan on doing something else with your home setup

If you’re doing transaction work, this just isn’t the case. Many associates will have open a PDF viewer, diligence response tracker spreadsheet, a redline, a precedent doc, and the actual document you’re drafting. Having all of that open in native resolution is a huge plus

I’m looking at this one in particular

I’d love to find a large non curved monitor with built in speakers. I hate having speakers cluttering up my desk. Any suggestions?

Get a TV. Monitors are basically TVs without speakers and less connections. TVs also offer more size options, and a 720p option will be around the same price.

Really depends on the kind of work you do. I just use one 24 inch at home, and it is more than enough for me. I even switch to my 12 inch macbook when I am just writing or editing a brief.

I have a 27" arranged in landscape and a 24" in portrait configuration. It's more than enough to have a few pages open while working. I agree that two 32" monitors might be overkill

I have dual monitors at work and have one curved 32in monitor in my home office instead. It's all I really need. Still works for research/brief writing without issue. Having two curved next to each other may be disorienting? If you're going to do dual monitors flat may work easier.

I have a 32” curved Samsung monitor in my home office and extend the screen to my laptop, great set up and helps me be just as productive at home as in the office, if not more so...

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

AMA.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state.

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
