Bigger Monitors = Greater Productivity

File this as one of those things that seems counterintuitive at first, but make sense after thinking things through. Researchers at the University of Utah have determined* that office workers that use larger monitors are more productive. The gains seem to increase as monitor sizes gets larger -- tapping out at 24 inches. What do you think? Do you find yourself more productive when you are working at a larger workstation. I don't find myself particularly less productive when working on my laptop, but could see how a larger monitor could lead to less fatigue when working in front of the screen all day.

*It is important to note that the University of Utah study was funded by monitor maker NEC.
