images.apple.com — Have you been wanting a big 24' or 30' monitor. I remember seeing a study done by HP saying it can increase productivity by 30%. Not sure how long this pdf has been on the Apple website, but if you need some help convincing your boss this is it!I guess "Go big or go home" does apply. * links to pdf

That is the problem with bigger monitors: the resolution actually drops, usually to 1280x720 or around there. A bigger monitor isn't helpful unless you keep the same DPI.

Alas, the work in the study was, aside from generic moving/copying files and such, graphics work. I have doubts that boss or wife will believe that necessarily carries over to programming.

To the guy with 700+ Dell TFTs:I have one Dell TFT, and it has one dead (well always green) pixel. How unlucky am I! They won't let me return it, apparently you have to have at least 4 dead before you qualify for a replacement!

One way to get your boss to authorize almost anything is to get the vendor to include components 'free'.E.g. 'PC costs $1000 and monitor $300'Get the invoice made out for.. 'PC $1300 with Free monitor'.This works with anything.. just dissolve that cost..

I have only used one monitor. I've seen the people using 2. I am sure using 2 would only get the CTS either starting quicker or make it worse. I also use unix and have multiple screens so that may be an advantage.

A 24" Dell LCD does make a big difference. I was able to pilot a 24" by using this article and several other studies done by others in the industry (Microsoft research, etc.). The problem with dual screens for data analysis is that you are (A) constantly turning your head (B) Spanning one app across is distraction and pain in the butt. With the 24" I sat back more, and could resize my windows to all fit on the screen right above one another if having to transcribe or do reports.Besides work, a 24" for gaming rocks like the one I have at home :-)
