The right tools and equipment make it possible to work professionally and productively even when working from home. We have put together our top recommendations for an efficient and comfortable work workflow so that you can work with color accuracy even outside of the studio.
Monitors for working from home
Having a suitable workspace is a good start, but you should also make sure that the monitor you are working on produces professional results . Aside from that , as we spend more and more time in front of screens in our daily lives, it is more important than ever to protect your eyes. BenQ and Eizo monitors are designed for creative professionals who value quality and color accuracy in their work . They can also help to significantly reduce eye strain.
lighting
It may not be as easy to control ambient light when working from home, but it is certainly just as important. The GrafiLite-2 allows designers and photographers to view color samples and prints under standardized lighting conditions. Not only does this mean you can be confident in what you see, but it also means this compact LED lamp can be easily transported from room to room or from office to studio.
anti-glare hood
