Narrow down to 3 monitor, still not sure, which would you choose?

Con: what about eye care? doesn't mention

Not enough information here to make an informed recommendation.

What is your budget? what are you planning to use these for? do you care about color accuracy? refresh rate for gaming?

Eye-care usually refers to flicker-free backlight (no detectable PWM) and/or a preset yellow-tint mode for reading. I would not focus on this too much, the yellow tinting feature is a gimmick that you can reproduce with windows night light.

There are all within my budget. I am flexible. I am an IT worker so staring at monitor all day. So quality is very important for me. I don't have good eyes anymore (easily dry eye and sore)

I have 2 computer and just got a new 34inch widescreen lenovo for my personal computer. now need a new one for work. the old dell monitor keep switching on and off, it's now at the point I have to get a new one. when using work computer with the 34 inch I didn't get the witching on and off. so guess the monitor is too old. as it only has HDMI and those old monitor connector.

I need to buy one asap, it's insane not to have stable connection. I don't do gaming and not a graphic designer.

I have a 60 inch *30inch desk, so 27 inch monitor is the way to go.

or I just use that 34 inch monitor for both computer? in that case I am not sure what to do. at least a keyboard that can connect to 2 laptop? currently I am using 2 laptop keyboards.

Get the ThinkVision T27p-10. It's only one with a height adjustable stand with swivel.

All three monitors are TÜV Eye Comfort certified. It really comes down to the ergonomic stand on the T27p along with USB-C. You don't want to buy a monitor today without either of those features.

The Samsung is a TV with a cheap VA panel disguised as a monitor. Definitely not what you want.

USB-C is nice if it can support charging your laptop at 60-90w. If it charges like 10-15w I dont think it's worth. usb-c should also allow you to use a mouse and keyboard without plugging it in otherwise it's a bit useless too like kvm switch.

You can get a KVM switch (with HDMI) that will allow you to switch the monitor, keyboard and mouse between two computers. Some have a physical button you click to change, others have a keystroke on the keyboard. I have one and it's been a lifesaver during work from home as I don't have the room to have two complete computer set-ups.
