"Professional" in the sense that they are paid. Which is the original distinction between Amateur and Professional.
Also QHD laptops.
My April 2002 laptop was 1600 x 1200. My last two were 1920 x 1080, which IMO is an inferior format for documents. You do need at least something by 1200.
I got a portable "matt" screen with USB-C power/video and HDMI video that's 16″ QHD (2560 x 1440). An 18″ would be a bit better, but it does sit in front of sad 1920 x 1080 laptop screen, or the even lower resolution ex-ChromeBook now running Linux Mint + Mate natively. I did buy the QHD screen at about €230 for the Raspberry Pi4b.

Though actually at normal TV viewing distance* and less than 65" we don't need QHD or UHD/4K, better frame rate would be better. Actually I have zero access to any 4K media. The sat boxes and disc players are all HD max. The streaming 4K I've seen elsewhere seems like marketing as some seems no better than HD or even decent DVDs upscalled.
