Even if you have a laptop, especially a 13-inch laptop, you should consider having an external screen. Depending on the space you have at home, you will need to move towards a model large enough to avoid eye fatigue. For those working in graphics, photography, design, or other creative professions, it is advisable to choose a computer screen with precise and faithful colorimetry.

Which computer screen to choose for teleworking?
A screen according to your profession and your interior
Your external computer screen depends on several essential basic criteria. Depending on your profession, you will have to choose a different model adapted to the requirements of teleworking. For example, a simple computer screen is more than sufficient for office automation. On the contrary, if you work with visual files (as is the case in creative professions), you absolutely need a good quality computer and above all large enough to be able to have precise and extensive images. However, the difficulty lies in the compatibility between the equipment and your indoor space. You must be able to choose a computer screen large enough for better comfort, but which can fit perfectly into the limited space of your office. We must therefore find the necessary balance.
How to choose your computer screen for teleworking?
Today, 20% of French people continue to telework. From their homes, they do work for their business. But the material that we have at home is very different from the material that we can find in our office. Normally, company equipment has been specially designed to meet the needs and requirements of the society where one works. The contrast can then be very important between professional equipment and the personal equipment that we have at home. Hence the importance of choosing the right computer screen for teleworking.
What size to choose for your computer screen?
It is advisable to opt for a minimum size of 23 inches to have sufficient visibility. When you have to have several windows open at the same time, it is better to move towards larger dimensions. And why not, a 34-inch wide curved screen model, highly recommended for those who have to move between several files at the same time. Nothing also prevents you from accumulating two computer screens which will further improve the display and display ergonomics: you will be able to display several windows in large format, distributed over the two screens. Be careful, however: there is no point in taking a very large computer screen if it does not have enough space in your office space.
Resolution: HD, Full HD, QHD, UHD ... what to choose?
Screen size should not be the only selection criteria for your computer screen. There are other criteria that are just as crucial, and which can make all the difference depending on your industry. The screen resolution is one of those essential requirements for comfortable use. It is expressed in pixels (number of squares in width and in length). The recommended minimum is High Definition (HD), namely 1280 x 720 pixels. This display quality is largely sufficient for office type work and for using files such as text documents, spreadsheets, etc. As soon as there are visual necessities, such as for the use of images, videos, it will be necessary to move towards minimum Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), so that the images stand out better and that the details are more visible. For the most demanding, they can find what they are looking for on QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) or UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) type models, or even 4K. Be careful, however: there is absolutely no point in choosing a screen with a very high definition if your computer does not have the capacity to provide a graphic rendering of this quality.
Colorimetry, contrasts and blue lights
Also for those who have to work with visual files, it is important to have a screen with accurate colorimetry and contrasts for accurate rendering. Most manufacturers offer models that are specially adapted to these requirements. However, it is also possible to calibrate the colors and contrast renderings directly from the settings of the screen you have. Finally, for those who have sensitive or fragile eyesight, they can opt for computer screens offering anti-blue light filters, so as to preserve the integrity of their eyes and limit the risk of eye fatigue.
Where can I find a computer screen to telecommute?
