I wouldn't say big screens have no impact when it comes to programming, but that it has certainly lower impact. In my experience, the smaller the screen the more organized you have to be. After years of using small monitors I found myself much more organized than friends who always used big screens. Their screens are really messy, while I keep mine real neat (with help of my window manager, my editor, etc). On a bigger screens I feel more confortable, no doubt, but I don't think it changes my productivity that much. One downsides of big screens to productivity is that with bigger screens people are able to keep chat screens on the same window they do their work. I supose that makes it easier for the guy to get distracted on chat.
