In fact at work I just bought our engineering team 24" widescreen monitors. The extra 300px to the side does help in having code documents and web pages up - but is quite "large & in charge". I'm sticking with my current Apple 22" Cinema display. Thanks for the thoughts Juke – actually given that this post was written in 2005, monitor sizes have changed quite a bit.

Anything larger is inefficient. I had an argument with my manager who wanted to purchase 23" screens for all staff downstairs. As they have small desks the monitors are "in-their-face" and in my opinion is a workplace health & safety risk. We'd need an on site optometrist for weekly checkups. At home though, 23" would be fantastic. I believe 20″ is perfect for business use. Anything larger is inefficient.
