You make a good point.
A question I have always wanted to put to the forum is why do so many discuss the simple, screen dimension when it seems we should all be discussing screen size plus viewing distance which when combined might give a "perceived" screen size.
A drive in movie theatre screen might look like a postage stamp from sufficiently far away, yet a notebook computer can create a cinematic experience if it is close enough to your nose.
So instead we should discuss perceived screen size, and the factors that would optimize that viewing experience?
I am not clear on why your set u would be easier on the eyes. What factors contribute to optimizing the perceived screen size?
I work in a business where we are immersed in data and information constantly, might also monitor news and television on one or more channels, and have multiple PC applications, emails and IMs all open at the same time.
So I am trying to configure an array that I can comfortably use for long hours every day.
A final note, I am having an industrial designer help me suspend the montiors from ceiling brackets, so using 46" or even bigger monitors will not require a bigger desk surface, or affect how far away I must sit.
Buconero,
Yes, I am sure this is true and have found even two monitors or bigger monitors to be very helpful with respect to productivity.
I believe microsoft also did some work to try and better understand what configuration(s) of multiple monitors best enhanced productivity.
I am thus always surprised when people think it is over the top or eccentric to have more than one screen.
Glad this is of interest to others.
