Business Technology : Bigger Computer Monitors = More Productivity

I should really think about picking up a second 24-inch LCD for home.  For those of us who spend 8+ hours working on the computer each day, up to 2.5hrs could be saved by buying two 24-inch monitors for your desk:

Researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different computer configurations: one with an 18-inch monitor, one with a 24-inch monitor and with two 20-inch monitors. Their finding: People using the 24-inch screen completed the tasks 52% faster than people who used the 18-inch monitor; people who used the two 20-inch monitors were 44% faster than those with the 18-inch ones. There is an upper limit, however: Productivity dropped off again when people used a 26-inch screen.
