One of the best ways to improve productivity is to upgrade or add more monitors, as that means more screen real estate. So what monitors are business buyers choosing for their workstations? We rank the best-selling computer displays of 2015 using two different criteria; revenue and quantity sold.
Important display developments of 2015 include the release of NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync, and an increase in 4k devices and content. But are businesses responding to those developments? Here are the monitor purchasing trends amongst B2B buyers in 2015.
- Four manufacturers appear on the two lists: Dell, Acer, Asus, and Viewsonic. Dell appears most often, with several high-end UltraSharp displays.
- The largest screen size on the lists is 27 inches while the smallest is 21.5-inches.
- Most screens range between 23 to 24 inches.
- No curved, 120 Hz refresh rates, or 3D screens.
- 1080p is the most popular resolution. The highest resolution is 1440p.
- Plenty of IPS screens, which indicate that businesses are looking for more than just budget monitors.
