Hi Guys, with budget around 1k which monitor should I get for work? I'm pairing with laptop connected to dock.

Usage mostly Excel & powerpoint, maybe sometimes CAD design.

Normal size or ultrawide?

Don't even need that high budget for office use unless you are doing media work.

Ultra wide is not good for excel use because normally you need vertical space.

For my case my spreadsheet will be more column so maybe wider might be better? Especially when dealing with gantt chart, currently I'm using 27 FHD for some more column spreadsheet need to scroll left & right. Actually I'm thinking to have 2 monitor but my dock have only 1 HDMI so maybe a wider screen will be the solution?

I guess depends on your spread sheet. I use normal widescreen and it is not enough o display all the column I use. Have to group columns that are least critical  laugh.gif

Since I'm using desktop, both excel and CAD are on the same monitor. I rejected the laptop because it will mean bringing home work  laugh.gif

My spreadsheet will have more column. You are using 1 widescreen or 2? Any model to recommend? is better monitor will reduce eye fatigue?

Then you already know if you need an ultra wide monitor.
