Hi Everyone, I appreciate the advise and comments I've received here before. I find myself in a dilemma, I have researched and researched endlessly and can not seem to find an ergonomic monitor (for neck and back prob.s) that has all the necessary features and specs required for editing Real Estate photos and comes in under $200.00. There are so many types, sizes, features etc. I know that what I'm looking for is out there all in one package but darned if I can located what I'm searching for. I'm exhausted so I'm turning to the experts for advice on finding the type of monitor I'll need to work with my Lenovo ideapad 320 laptop (that's what I have right now) to properly edit images for my newly starting business. Please, any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Ditch the stand and get an articulated monitor arm that gives you a wide variety of movement. Example:

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Single-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN16O/ref=asc_df_B00MIBN16O/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167141218295&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3230887298493187078&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030987&hvtargid=pla-195070409835&psc=1

The correct way to adjust monitor height to avoid eye and neck strain is to align the upper bezel level with the midpoint of your eyes. To fit wioth an articulated arm, the monitor has to have a detachable stand and a VESA compatible bolt pattern.

As far as inputs, just match what your Lenovo has, probably HDMI? But check your system's specs.

Yes! It's all about the angles...

Surprisingly easy on a laptop, harder on a desktop. Get the arm first.
