"Scientific justification"
In the New York Times story "Meet the Life Hackers", we read of the results from some testing done at Microsoft:

The results? On the bigger screen, people completed the tasks at least 10 percent more quickly - and some as much as 44 percent more quickly. They were also more likely to remember the seven-digit number, which showed that the multitasking was clearly less taxing on their brains. Some of the volunteers were so enthralled with the huge screen that they begged to take it home. In two decades of research, Czerwinski had never seen a single tweak to a computer system so significantly improve a user's productivity. The clearer your screen, she found, the calmer your mind.

I'm usualy bitching about this(1,2,3) but now science backs me up. :->
When i think that for the last 6 months i've been using a 17' CRT that shifts to greenish and pinkish colors all the time... god, those times are gone!
