A french consultant released a controversial new study claiming that a 30 inch Apple Cinema display increases productivity. Of course this study was sponsored by Apple. However despite the possible lack of objectivity, Apple generously provides those of us who need to convince a suprevisor, boss, or even spouse with ammo for us to use in justifying why we need one of these beautiful big displays. Very clever Apple. According to the study it was concluded that:
large screens can offer gains of up to 50 percent to 65 percent in productivity on a variety of specific office tasks and can earn back their extra costs in time savings over several years. The 30-in. display costs $1,999.
Well there you go. That sounds perfectly logical to me - but other experts disagree (spoil sports) 
other experts say those conclusions are wrong, arguing that the productivity improvement estimates are too high and that using two monitors side by side would likely be a better productivity booster than one larger monitor.
