Who said smaller was better?

As monitors grow, it seems logical that websites will too. It wouldn't make much sense to have large monitors and small websites which amounts to a lot of white space. A little white space is okay, but at a certain point it seems to suggest that the developer got a little lazy with his design. It's true that larger monitors can be used primarily for viewing movies and other forms of entertainment but the reality is that if monitors inevitably grow in size, then a market niche for a new breed of wide-screen compatible websites will open up. Web developers will want to exploit this niche.

Simply adding more navbars and the like is better for navigation but it doesn't satisfy the screen resolution of the larger monitors. In my opinion websites look more aesthetically pleasing if they take up a good amount of monitor space. To address the navigation problem it all comes down to how the site is organized. If links and information are grouped in a logical way, then websites can continue to grow without facing a navigation crisis.
