But yes, it's opinionated. I'm quite strongly of the opinion that in general larger desktop displays increase productivity. They are finally arriving, and at prices that are almost affordable.

There is a time and place for everything.
I am not criticizing your writing style. I just found it odd to find one like it at the top of HN is all.
I actually like it. It reminds me of kenrockwell.com
