Back, long ago, when I worked for US Dept of Energy, the then Director of the facility said that line about the Squeaky Wheel - trying to make me feel I should keep shaking things up.
I noted to him that it is also the Squeaky Wheel that's first to be replaced.

Wanted to buy a new monitor and I was just searching for a good one.
I see.. almost all of them come with a static holder. You can just tilt it up & down but not adjust the height. Even the expensive ones.
I find it difficult to keep the display at the same height, the whole week. (If not the whole day)
Maybe these monitors are designed for super-evolved x-men who can do the adjustments on their neck.

I have an old Samsung on my desk that is height adjustable (Monitor three: email mostly), but my two LG ones aren't. One because the stand isn't so it sits on a platform to get it to the right height, the other because it's on an arm and I set it to the right height when I installed that.
But a quick Google says there are plenty, Amazon even has a "tick box" for "height adjustment": Amazon.co.uk: Low Prices in Electronics, Books, Sports Equipment & more[^]

Complain to them! 
Or use the info in the UK version to shortlist the ones you want and find them in India.

When I search the UK-models in Amazon-India site,
It says "Bummer!"

The model code will be slightly different (if only because we use a different mains plug to you), so just knock off the final few letters (often they use G, E, or UK as a suffix for UK models) and try that.

And monitors with such thin neck[^] piss me off. 
It looks so weak, I would think twice before switching on my table fan.
I prefer strong necked, fat bottomed, stable ones[^]

I've also ordered a new monitor with [limited at that] tilt only, but a damn good price (show special).
found out the thing is to check if it has a "VESA" mount, then buy a VESA stand from amazon or similar. (also if you're looking to wall/permanent mount the monitor or run it in portrait mode.)

Free market wants to keep the worker down. So you must look to another political system that empowers the worker.
Or just buy an adjustable stand. I have had mine (with arms rather than just stand) for years now. Keeps working with new montors that I buy. I would mention it by brand name but it doesn't seem to have a brand name on it.

Actually a bit of the opposite. The stand is attached to a clamp at the back of the desk and then extends upwards. The arms extend out from it vertically. That frees up space under the monitors themselves.
The stand allows the monitors to be easily moved with a push also. The arms have an elbow so between the vertical adjustment and horizontal one them can be adjusted with precision.

Yeah, but I'm considered 'normal height' - so I think it's a conspiracy that these (no doubt) Chinese made stands are for Chinese height people.

Here ya go: Table Air Info[^]
It's a mini air purifier, yes?
If you live in a city, that's possibly not a bad idea - city air is pretty foul at the best of times.
But ... you've got to be pretty close to the purifier to get any benefit, it's effect is going to be diluted the further you get from it. So why the elephant do you want to control it via your WiFi and the internet?
AirCon. Good description.

perhaps if you're inside a bubble then at least the thing could be sucking in fresh new air from outside?
...but then you'd also need another to suck the used air out.
discount if you buy a pair?

I've been on semi-vacation for a couple of weeks and tomorrow I'm heading to a small island in the middle of the South Pacific with zero internet.
I'm going to enjoy the deafening silence. I think.
cheers
