More monitor, more productivity
I just came across a NYT article that discusses The Virtues of a Second Screen. My 23“ widescreen display is almost the same as having two monitors but takes up less space. The Times article indicates that the extra screen space will increase your productivity by 20 to 30 percent.
I find that I spend less time moving windows and palettes around in various applications. My display is 1,200 pixels high which means I spend less time scrolling through large documents or the layers palette in Photoshop.
If you’re a graphic designer/webdeveloper/photographer/video editor then do yourself a favour and ‘go wide’ with a widescreen display.

Scientists, researchers and people in finance can also benefit. Any environment where you need multiple windows open you’ll find that the montior size key. At the university I use my 23” to display all of my terminal windows with no overlap. The rest of my research team uses as many windows as I do, but they all work on 15” laptop screens. They are constantly hunting around for the right window.
