For people who have recently shifted to working from home, one of the challenges is adjusting to the small screen of a laptop. Monitors at home are mostly for entertainment -- movie binges, gaming -- and are not really intended for viewing data, work designs, or stocks.

Thankfully, buying a monitor for a new home office is easy. Here is a list of monitors we selected to fit your work-from-home needs.

1. LG 27UK850-W

If you are going in for size, the LG 27UK850-W is perfect for you. At 27 inches, this monitor is great for looking at those statistical graphs without squinting. Additionally, it has a 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) IPS display so it would also be ideal for reviewing those graphic illustrations and designs.

2. Asus VA27EHE Eye Care Monitor
