I like my 30", and wish for more (4 side-by-side windows!). I suspect people who don't like big monitors tend to make their windows fullscreen instead of keeping them content-sized. If you think in windows instead of maximized screens, 50" is superior to 54" split in two. It comes down to the artificial split down the middle which limits where you can stick your windows.
- seiji 13y agoThe artificial split limit is a benefit for me. Helps self organize things. Watch a movie on the left screen, web browse on the right screen. Keynote in the left screen, reference materials in the right screen, etc.
- wmf 13y agoI find that a single big monitor with a tiling window manager gives the same benefit but is more flexible.
- bhauer 13y agoActually, I would not want to fully-maximize much on a 50+" desktop display, except when I lapse into a pure-consumption mental state. More to the point, I want an immersive, uninterrupted display surface. The bezels in a multi-monitor configuration just serve to annoy me by wasting space on my desk and in my field of view.
