Apple Consultant says 30-inch Apple Cinema Display boosts productivity

[Andrew]

"Providing employees with 30-in. computer monitors can boost worker productivity at companies where 17-in. or 19-in. monitors are typically used, according to a French consultant hired for a study sponsored by Apple. The study, which evaluated Apple’s 30-inch Apple Cinema Display, concluded that large screens can offer gains of up to 50 percent to 65 percent in productivity on a variety of specific office tasks and can earn back their extra costs in time savings over several years. The 30-in. display costs $1,999."

a company hires a consultant to reiterate the value and importance of their products in a workplace?

I'm in disbelief.

They have to justify the price tag somehow.
