Thanks all.
I can keep everything. I already have a good chair and a printer.
I’ll take a look at some of the suggestions above!

Standing desk.
Or at the very least an ergonomically chair

My LG super wide monitor is amazing.

Second what others have already said: Second monitor, laptop stand, and ring lighting (or equivalent). Do you ever use a printer?

What do you do?
Do you get to keep the stuff that you buy, or does your employer own it?

Laptop stand and a ring light if you're going to be on Zoom frequently.

I bought a 34” 4K / UHD monitor from Costco at the outset of the panini. It’s amazing. More real estate than two of the regular monitors I use at the office.
Also ordered the new Anker PowerConf camera recently. Much better picture quality than the built in on my thinkpad, or the external Logitech one I bought.

A second monitor is a great investment. The productivity improvements with a second monitor are significant.
As for camera, get something that can go atop a monitor or some other option even like a tripod. Good microphone can also help quite a bit.

A laptop stand can make the camera eye level.

My company is giving me $500 for my home office buildout for long-term telework.
I definitely need a camera. I have trouble looking into the camera at the top of the laptop so would love a solution that allows me to look eye level. Don’t know if that exists.
