Monitor Size Boosts Productivity



In case you thought people who ask for and use multiple monitors are just being silly, there is now research which shows what I have known for many years. More monitor real estate means more productivity.

In fact two 20-inch monitors yields a 44% increase over a single 18-inch monitor. A single 24-inch monitor yields a 52% increase in productivity over that same "puny" 18-inch monitor.

A 26-inch monitor actually reduced productivity over the 24 incher.

What does all this tell us? Choose the monitor size your employees use very carefully... A one-size-fits-all approach does not apply to monitors -- or computers for that matter.

Hmm. I guess I always thought that they were all the same. Good to know; now the next monitor I get will be much bigger. Thanks!

Yes , and I have experienced it personally, Since when i have got my new LCD 21 inches , not only my quality but even my interest and stamina in work has increased as compared to my old 17 inches one.

And more over its fun when you are using it as your multimedia station too......

NEC claims 26 inch increases productivity and 30" decreases
