More and more people are working from home these days because of the virus outbreak, and that includes me. But just because you are working at home doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be stuck with a small laptop screen.
While you can accomplish most tasks with only one monitor on your laptop, making use of dual monitors will allow you to accomplish the same task in a fraction of time. In fact dual monitors have been proven to increase work productivity.

The Philips 222B9T LCD monitor comes in a large brown box with the brand logo on the upper left side of the box and feature specifications printed on the sides of the box.
Inside is a styrofoam package that serves as a cushion to the monitor, product documentations, driver, HDMI cable, power plug and power supply.
