Prioritize
49-inch 32:9 Super Ultrawide: Effectively replaces two 27-inch monitors without a center bezel.
VA or Mini-LED panels: Better for static content longevity compared to OLED.
Built-in KVM switch: Allows switching between a work laptop and a data terminal/PC easily.
Deprioritize
Color accuracy: Spreadsheets and data tools do not require professional-grade color calibration.
OLED panels: Static UI elements in Excel and Bloomberg terminals pose a high risk of burn-in.
