Adding a second screen is one of the cheapest productivity upgrades for a home office: spreadsheets on one side, email or video calls on the other. This 27-inch MSI uses a full HD IPS panel for wide viewing angles and good color, runs at 144Hz with AMD FreeSync and a 1ms response time, so scrolling feels smooth and it doubles as a casual gaming display. It has two built-in 3W speakers, HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA inputs (handy for older work laptops), a tilt-adjustable stand and a 100mm VESA mount if you want to put it on a monitor arm. Newegg has it for $90 shipped, $40 off list.
