Still squinting at a tiny monitor screen and wondering why you never seem to get anything done? There is a reason.

Researchers at the University of Utah have found that computer uses with larger computer screens tend to be more productive than their teeny-screeny comrades.

Researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different computer configurations: one with an 18-inch monitor, one with a 24-inch monitor and with two 20-inch monitors. Their finding: People using the 24-inch screen completed the tasks 52% faster than people who used the 18-inch monitor; people who used the two 20-inch monitors were 44% faster than those with the 18-inch ones.

The conclusion: using a larger monitor can save you 2.5 hours a day. Forgetting for a moment the study was funded by computer monitor manufacturer NEC, this is one of those golden moments where more big = more happy.
