If your work involves looking at two or more documents simultaneously, referring to multiple browser windows or scrolling through spreadsheets, youre going to get a lot more done gazing at an LCD with a decent screen size than squinting at your 13-inch (or even 15-inch) laptop display.

Curved monitors, which can make a wide display fit into your field of view without requiring you to sit too far back, arent worth paying more for with any display under 28 inches.

Frankly, those are sometimes more trouble than theyre worth -- and eye-level height can be easily achieved with a monitor stand or a thick book.

Also, though all of the monitors listed below can be connected via HDMI, some are VGA-compatible and a few support USB-C.

If youre working on a MacBook Air, for example, youll need to buy an adapter to connect via HDMI.

So, make sure you know how youll connect everything before clicking buy.

This list is regularly updated to reflect pricing and stock, but may not always be up-to-the-minute accurate.

And the specs are legit: near-4K resolution (3,840x1,600), IPS and LCD technology and all of the connections (DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0 and USB-C).

You get full 4K, super-thin bezels, two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort.

Some verified purchase reviews complain about the limited viewing angles and lack of integrated speakers, but this monitor is primed for straightforward work use -- probably not gaming.

Its currently back-ordered, but Amazon says it will ship in six to 10 days.

Its a good option if your laptop doesnt have a VGA or HDMI output, like the port-impoverished MacBook Air.

And weighing less than 2 pounds, its light enough to come along when you need to move your setup.

The Lepow connects to your laptop via USB -- so you dont need a VGA or HDMI port.

And theres no need for an external power supply, so you can use it even when theres no socket nearby.
