I recommend a big screen in the office

Img00188-20090612-1314

when I got a big screen for my home office I thought I would make most use
of it sat at my desk, luxuriating in all that screen real estate. Whilst I
do use it that way, what's made most difference is that I can sit on my
sofa with my laptop and use the big screen for remote attendance of web
conferences, watching conference videos, vidcasts etc.
 
Now with Windows 7 I can put all these various video sources in my Video
Library and they are available in media center, which means I can control
the whole experience using the remote control.
 
While I watch I can be taking notes or following up leads on the laptop.
 
When work ends of course, it's also great for movies and TV.
