  09-02-2026 23:25 via techradar.com
  
  I’ve been reviewing monitors for a long time, and I think we may be officially in the era of 4K monitors being standard or near-standard, given how popular they are now. It’s hard to find monitors that aren’t 4K these days; however, that also means companies have been chasing the 4K badge for a while now, and in that race, some have lost focus on color accuracy.For business users who don’t care about their red looking like the perfect red or their blacks being perfect bla

• Haworth Fern office chair review: Incredibly premium ergonomics with great all day comfortability

  The Haworth Fern has two main design styles. One model has a headrest and a unique, adjustable lumbar support that moves up and down to help make it more comfortable for users. However, even though, on paper, this was great for some, it was not as popular as expected.So, Haworth released a new variant with no headrest and no middle lumbar support, offering only the comfort built into the chair's backrest. I’m very glad that Haworth released the newer version. I was part of the group that w
