Start by choosing a monitor you can position comfortably at both desk heights: the Health and Safety Executive advises placing the top of the screen around eye level, with the screen about an arm’s length away. For browser-led landing-page design, check the monitor’s stated sRGB coverage; give wider-gamut modes more weight if your work also includes colour-managed imagery. A USB-C connection is useful for a laptop desk only if video output and charging meet that laptop’s requirements.
If you chiefly work on layouts, typography, interface components and web graphics, a detailed workspace and a colour mode suited to your browser review process matter more than choosing the widest stated gamut. BenQ and ASUS publish colour-coverage specifications for their respective designer-monitor ranges.
If landing pages sit alongside photography, campaign artwork or video assets, check which colour spaces your team uses for editing and review. ASUS specifies wider-gamut coverage for its ProArt PA279CRV; that specification is relevant when the workflow calls for those colour spaces.
If you alternate between sitting and standing, the screen must remain practical to position at both heights. The Health and Safety Executive’s screen-position guidance makes stand adjustment or a suitable monitor arm worth checking alongside laptop cabling.
Check screen position at both desk heights, then match colour modes and connections to the work you actually do. The percentages below express how consumers might prioritise one primary need; they are not a reason to overlook requirements elsewhere in your setup.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Colour for design work | Check stated sRGB coverage and the colour modes used for browser review. If you also prepare colour-managed assets, check the relevant Adobe RGB or DCI-P3 mode and calibration information. | When page layouts and supplied imagery must be reviewed in the intended colour space, I would put that workflow ahead of extra desk connections. Around 36% of consumers put colour for design work first. |
| Screen position | Compare the stand’s adjustment range with your seated and standing eye heights; check mount compatibility if you plan to use an arm. The Health and Safety Executive advises a screen top around eye level and a distance of about an arm’s length. | If changing desk height leaves me looking up or down at the screen, I need a way to reposition it for both postures. For around 29% of consumers, screen position is the primary concern. |
| Laptop connection | Confirm USB-C video compatibility and compare the monitor’s power-delivery rating with your laptop’s charging requirement. | I want to reconnect my laptop without separately arranging video and power each time I change my desk setup. Around 21% of consumers make that connection their first priority. |
| Desk peripherals | Check the downstream USB ports and whether the monitor includes LAN if you need wired networking. | If my storage, input devices and wired network stay at the desk, I would rather assess the monitor as part of that connection setup. Desk-peripheral access comes first for around 14% of consumers. |
Changing desk height does not necessarily put the monitor at a suitable viewing height. The Health and Safety Executive advises placing the screen top around eye level and the display about an arm’s length away.
Compare your seated and standing eye heights with the stand’s actual range, or confirm the mount and desk will accept the arm you intend to use.
A separate arm or riser may be needed if the supplied stand cannot reach a workable position.
BenQ specifies sRGB and Rec.709 coverage for the PD2705U, while ASUS specifies Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 coverage for the PA279CRV. The more relevant specification depends on the colour spaces used for your page assets and review.
Identify those colour spaces before comparing stated modes and calibration information for the exact model.
A USB-C socket alone does not establish that your laptop can send video through it or receive sufficient charging power. BenQ, Dell and ASUS state different power-delivery ratings for the PD2705U, U2723QE and PA279CRV.
Check the laptop’s video and charging requirements, the monitor’s stated capabilities and the ports your peripherals need.
You may still need the laptop charger or a separate dock if the monitor connection does not meet those requirements.
Dell’s UK listing identifies the UltraSharp U2723QE as unavailable. A model that helps you compare features is not necessarily one you can order.
Check availability for the exact model before checkout, read the applicable retailer and manufacturer support terms, and retain your proof of purchase.
BenQ positions the PD2705U as a 27-inch 4K designer monitor for an sRGB and Rec.709 workflow.
ASUS positions the PA279CRV for creative work that can include wider-gamut imagery alongside page design.
Dell’s U2723QE combines a 27-inch 4K display with USB-C hub and wired-network connections.
These monitors offer different starting points for landing-page work: compact 4K options, creative-work models and a larger curved gaming display. Compare each one against your colour workflow, laptop and available desk space before deciding how to position it.

Consider this model if you want a 4K workspace and an adjustable stand for a laptop-based design desk.
Its name specifies an IPS panel, Nano Glossy finish, USB-C connection and height-adjustable stand. Check the stand range at both desk heights, and confirm video, charging and colour-mode requirements for your setup.
No image available
Consider this model when landing-page work also involves colour-managed visual assets.
The product name specifies an OLED 4K UHD display. Check the exact model’s colour modes, stand range and USB-C charging capability against your creative workflow and laptop.
No image available
This is a 27-inch 4K option to compare for browser-led layouts and a standing-desk workspace.
The product name specifies an LED display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Check its colour settings and positioning options for your work, along with any laptop charging or calibration requirements.
No image available
Consider this larger creative-work display if your landing-page projects also involve assets requiring the colour modes you intend to use.
The product name specifies a 32-inch 4K HDR IPS Mini LED display and Thunderbolt 3. Allow for its size when checking viewing distance and desk space; confirm the exact stand range, laptop charging capability and brightness specification before relying on them.

Consider this mixed-use format only if a large curved screen also suits the space and viewing arrangement for your design work.
Its name specifies 3840 × 2160 resolution, 99% DCI-P3 coverage, a USB hub and Type-C 65W. Check laptop video compatibility and charging needs, as well as the screen position you can achieve at both desk heights.
Not necessarily, but you need a way to position the screen at both seated and standing desk heights. The Health and Safety Executive advises placing its top around eye level and the screen about an arm’s length away; check the stand’s range or a compatible arm against your own setup.
No: both the laptop and monitor must support the required video connection, and the monitor’s power delivery must meet the laptop’s needs. BenQ specifies up to 65W for the PD2705U, Dell up to 90W for the U2723QE and ASUS 96W for the PA279CRV; check your exact laptop rather than relying on the connector shape.
Follow the cleaning instructions for your exact monitor and avoid spraying liquid directly onto the display. BenQ’s UK cleaning guidance specifically warns against spraying its screens directly; instructions for other screen coatings may differ.
Keep your proof of purchase and check the terms for the exact model and seller. ASUS says its warranty periods vary by country or region, so do not assume that terms for another market apply to your purchase.
