It seems that there is a “scientific” justification to buy big screens.
The results? On the bigger screen, people completed the tasks at least 10 percent more quickly – and some as much as 44 percent more quickly. They were also more likely to remember the seven-digit number, which showed that the multitasking was clearly less taxing on their brains. Some of the volunteers were so enthralled with the huge screen that they begged to take it home. In two decades of research, Czerwinski had never seen a single tweak to a computer system so significantly improve a user’s productivity. The clearer your screen, she found, the calmer your mind.
I totally agree :-) I am using for a while now (some months) an HP L2035 20.1-inch LCD at home and in my office. Quite a great LCD, nice quality, excellent contrast, sharp rendering, with an interesting smooth landscape-portrait pivot system.
The HP L2035 is coming with DVI-D, DVI-A, VGA and S-Video inputs. Resolution is 1600×1200, 16ms pixel-response time, contrast ratio 500:1, max. vertical and horizontal view angle: 170°, 3-years guarantee.
Have a look at the cnet review.
