Many business users use laptops as their main work tool, and millions of people now regularly work from home, so the demand for external displays continues to grow. Analysts said, for example, in the third quarter of 2020, global display shipments increased by 15.9% compared to the same period in 2019
, And consumer demand has driven most of the rise.
IDC Research Manager Jay Chou said: "Whether it is studying, working or playing games, due to the persistent uncertainty of office and school attendance, many consumers have new considerations for their long-neglected monitors." Chou added Said: "As inventory is still at a healthy level, and to induce sales of games and larger monitors, IDC believes that the strong momentum should continue into the first half of 2021."
When you stare at the screen all day, having a larger display is obviously easier to keep your eyes open, and it can also help reduce neck and back problems because you don’t have to bend over your laptop all the time while working.
There are other key factors, the most obvious of which is size. If you are just running Microsoft Office and sending emails to colleagues, a low-cost 21-inch or 24-inch monitor may be sufficient (especially if it is dangling on your kitchen table). However, 27-inch displays are becoming more and more popular-and the prices are getting cheaper. Larger screens are obviously suitable for graphic work or presentations, but digital computing software (such as Excel) can also benefit from as much screen space as possible.
Cheap monitors are often limited to FHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), which is acceptable for web browsing or simple word processing and spreadsheet work. However, higher resolutions (such as QHD (2560 x 1440)) provide more space for viewing documents and displaying multiple documents or windows on the screen at the same time. At the same time, 4K or UHD displays (3840 x 2160) are extremely tempting, almost indispensable for graphics and video software, but still a luxury for regular office work.
Connectivity is also important, especially for owners of older "legacy" devices, so you need to make sure you can actually connect the new monitor to the laptop. Many laptops and PCs use HDMI or DisplayPort to connect to external displays, although there may still be some old PCs around that still use ancient VGA or DVI interfaces. And, of course, many new laptops (PCs and Macs) include USB-C, which is ideal for monitors used at home, because a USB-C cable can provide video and data connections, and can even charge laptops.

The large screen is great for graphics processing or studying large spreadsheets, but sometimes a smaller portable display may come in handy-especially when you are working at home quickly trying to trigger a few emails on your smartphone or tablet.
AOC produces many portable displays, all of which have a 15.6-inch screen and 1920 x 1080 resolution (141.2ppi). This
It is a top product, the price is $319.99, but the package contains many useful features. The screen size is only 8.5 mm thick and weighs 1 kg, so it is easy to carry or carry it in a bag on the go. It includes two USB-C ports and micro-HDMI to provide compatibility with various devices, and has its own built-in battery, so it will not drain the laptop battery. A small set of stereo speakers are built-in, and the display also has a touch-sensitive function (when connected via USB-C), allowing you to quickly jot down notes and notes while working.

It is the successor to last year's 27B1H, and managed to provide a higher price/performance ratio. A 27-inch monitor is priced at only US$199.
The specification is also very basic, only 1920 x 1080 resolution (81.6ppi), although it is still sufficient for mainstream office software such as Word and Excel and Zoom calls for home office. 27B2H also provides a 75Hz refresh rate, as well as flicker-free and "low blue light" mode, which helps reduce eye fatigue during work. There is no USB-C or DisplayPort interface, so it is not the best choice for newer laptops and PCs, but HDMI and VGA ports will provide convenience for people who are still using older devices. The low price means there are no built-in speakers, but there is a 3.5 mm audio jack for external speakers or headphones.
