Personally, I prefer widescreen LCD's for doing code development.  
This allows me to have two windows side-by-side: The editor of the  
day (Eclipse), and either documentation or a terminal window to  
interact with the application I am developing. I find this ability to  
have two items side by side more beneficial than having more lines  
going down my screen.
