Upgrading home office monitors. Currently have an ultra wide in the center and a 22” on the right, laptop on the left. Any suggestions?

I have three HP 24” with a monitor stand that cleans up the cables and frees up a lot of desk space. I love it compared to ultra wides because I do a lot of work that requires multiple windows. Can left/right dock on all three monitors if I want to. Very useful for deck prep.

Which stand?

Ultra wide in the middle has been great but I don’t do a lot of excel work anymore and isn’t super useful. Wondering if I should stick with a large primary monitor or go dual screen with matching monitors and stare at the middle of them all day.

What size ultra wide do you have and what brand? Personally I have a 29” LG, I was able to get the screen controller app downloaded and can set custom auto sizing which is super helpful.

If I were in your position I’d upgrade the ultra wide to the biggest you can find. Even if you aren’t doing a ton of excel work it’s still helpful to keep outlook/notes open while you work on whatever else you’re doing and it’s more visually appealing IMO.

Just the ultra wide. I do a lot of work in excel so it’s not too bad right now. Currently I have it split 50-50, if I had a bigger say a 38” I’d split it 20-40-40 and have outlook open all the time.

Don't need an ultrawide. Since you have a laptop to your left, I would suggest a regular 1080p or 1440p front and center, and one more 1080p in vertical orientation to your right.

do you use a vertical? What do you find it most useful for?

I use 2 LG UW’s (27”) and shut laptops. Been doing this for years and it’s great

I actually have them slightly spaced (1ft), on left is Deloitte, on right is client/switch to PC

I use 2 27’ dell 4ks with laptop in the middle — best set up so you can keep chat email on your laptop and actual work on the two screens. Put them on mounts that allow them to rotate if you want one vertical

43”. It’s fantastic albeit “big” when you first get it. Other office has a curved 34” with 27” on the side. Laptop open for both offices for chat and email before dragging to the meson screen.

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.

Anyone know if the wellness subsidy would cover an office chair? Or does D cover office supplies or nah? Looking to upgrade my home office. Thx!

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else.
