Some employees may need a higher level of screen performance than others. Certain types of work, especially graphic design, photo and video editing, and CAD/CAM work, mean that the color, detail, surface, image quality and other aspects of the monitor have a significant impact on day-to-day work. When choosing the best monitor, it's important to consider how the user works, where they do most of their work, and what they're working with. The ideal monitor set up for a photo editor at a fashion magazine will be different from the one needed by an analyst in the financial department of the same magazine.
In addition to the characteristics of the display itself, such ergonomic parameters as the flexibility of adjusting the position of the screen, the type of attachment, the presence of a USB hub and a cable organizer can be useful features. In some cases, employees may need 21:9 ultrawide monitors, concave monitors, and multi-monitor configurations.
