Plan your next home office upgrade
Start with the part of your setup that gets in the way of your work. Before buying, note what you already own, the space available and the problem you want to solve.
Make room for your everyday work
Think about the windows you keep open, the size of your desk and how far you sit from the screen. Compare monitor size, resolution and adjustment options, then check which display connections your computer supports.
Explore home office monitor guidesCheck how your equipment connects
List your monitors, keyboard, storage and other accessories before choosing a dock. Check your laptop’s port capabilities, charging requirements and supported display setup together; a matching connector alone does not confirm compatibility.
Find the cause of connection problems
Notice whether slowdowns affect one device or the whole home, and whether they happen in the same room. Check router placement and connection options before deciding whether a router upgrade, mesh system or wired connection fits your workspace.
