Comment on Monitors for Work

Comments

Reminds me of this this advice from 20 years ago (2006!): https://www.nngroup.com/articles/screen-resolution-and-page-...

Big monitors are the easiest way to increase white-collar productivity, and anyone who makes at least $50,000 per year ought to have at least 1600×1200 screen resolution. A flat-panel display with this resolution currently costs less than $500. So, as long as the bigger display increases productivity by at least 0.5%, you'll recover the investment in less than a year.

Surely the economics must be even better in 2026?
