Do you have any recommendations for a desktop monitor for a home office? New company is giving me a $250 stipend for WFH essentials and that’s the only thing I need!

Welcome. I got a Samsung 27” curved monitor that came in just under the $250

i got the 32 samsung odyssey g5 and paid the difference

I would use 250 and chip in for a 32" Ultrawide LG/Samsung monitor. A bit more expensive, but will last a long time and a great investment for productivity.

I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?

One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.
