Practice Management

Do not tell that to the nanotechnology people.  But, according to The Wall Street Journal, researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different size monitors.  They found that 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. There is an upper limit, however: Productivity dropped off again when people used a 26-inch screen.  The study concluded that someone using a larger monitor could save 2.5 hours a day.  The moral of the story - size matters but you do not need a jumbotron on your desk.
