Could a 30-in. monitor help you do your job faster?

We did our own informal study in the office when we moved from 19" to 24" monitors and actually saw the biggest improvements in AutoCAD and less so in Revit. We also saw huge jumps in a few specific tasks, such as editing schedules. What we didn't find was any negatives... other than the initial cost.

Hopefully we can get a 30" for less money now; since Samsung will be joining Dell (LG Industries) to give Apple some much needed competition.

Apple’s 30-in. display hasn’t had much competition in that size range since its introduction, but Samsung Electronics America will debut its own 30-in. LCD monitor later this month at an estimated $1,999, said Andy Weis, a product marketing manager at Ridgefield Park, N.J.-based Samsung.
