In terms of resolution, we would recommend at least full HD (1,920x1,080 pixels) for a 24-inch display; quad HD (2,560x1,440 pixels) for a 27-inch display and Ultra HD (aka 4K; 3,840x2,160 pixels) for anything 32 inches or larger. We'd also suggest that you look out for a monitor's maximum brightness rating, which should range from 250 to 500 nits. Lower-end monitors are usually rated at 250 or 300 nits, which will likely suffice for a dark den or basement. For a sun-drenched office, you'll want something that's rated for 350 nits or higher. For more on that, be sure to check out our monitor buying guide before choosing your new monitor.
