I have what some colleagues would consider totally out of the question: a single 17 inches screen. I am quite used to it and it has served me fine! So, maybe I should have answered “essential”…

| Essential. Also "number of" | Jun 16, 2019 |
I have two large monitors (I think 17") at about 30 degree angle from each other.

| Very important! | Jun 16, 2019 |
My new computer has a 27-inch screen. I love the size, but I'm disappointed that it's still a bit of a challenge to line up the source and target documents side by side. You'd think it would be easy ....

The smallest screen I have is on my laptop. I don't recall right now if it's 14" or 17", but it's large enough for me to be able to work on when away from home.
When working from home, I use PCs, with monitors of varying sizes.
The main one, which I'm looking at right now is 22", I think.

For most of this century my work setup has included two 24-inch monitors. The right monitor displays the project (usually a CAT tool); peeking out behind it is usually my e-mail client showing a list of incoming messages. Since I filter my e-mail I can tell immediately whether I've received a message from a customer.
The other monitor displays related glossaries, IntelliWebSearch, and other reference material as well as Google search. When translating graphics, the left monitor sho...

The other monitor displays related glossaries, IntelliWebSearch, and other reference material as well as Google search. When translating graphics, the left monitor shows the original graphic; the other displays PaintShop Pro containing the image in process.
Altogether I have almost 48 inches of working space. At this juncture I can't imagine trying to work with less on an ongoing basis. ▲ Collapse

The screen size is not that important, the number of pixels is. My laptop screen has a very good pixel density, and thus compares favorably with many bigger screens.

Laptop has 18"
Main computer 2x 27" monitors.
One of my customers uses 32" TV´s in their office and I was really impressed as they had absolutely everything on one screen.

While the pixel size and image improving technologies really matter, the matrix type (flicker-free aka no PWM) and ppi is often more important.
Occasionally I used special glasses for long jobs, but now I mostly work as an interpreter, so it's no problem)

| Not very important. | Jun 16, 2019 |
A super-duper ultra high-tech monitor is not important when your processor is slow and when you have a small RAM.

That's what I've been using for some years now. Plenty of space to have two documents open next each other with the text in an easily readable size. I can add more panels if necessary.

I agree with you, my laptop has a monitor of 18, and very good pixel density to be able to work.

| Keyboard size rules!! | Jun 17, 2019 |
For me keyboard size is way more important than other hardware elements
| | | |
| Somewhat... it depends | Jun 18, 2019 |
Mine is 27" but not a sophisticated one. It is useful when I have to do QA and I am able to open side-by-side documents. Otherwise, I use my laptop.
