Monitor Size?

[winner2010]

Monitor size on a CRT monitor is not measured like a TV. On a TV, a 32 TV means that the actual picture is 32, measured diagonally. On a computer monitor, a 17 monitor might only have a 15.7 viewable image, measured diagonally. The law requires that a monitor manufacturer disclose the actual viewable image size along with the monitor size, but the marketing used often leads one to think they are getting a bigger picture than they really are.

LCD monitors, on the other hand, are not measured using the tricky viewable area measurement. An LCD monitor is measured by the actual size of the screen. The measurement is taken diagonally, from corner to corner, just as with the CRT.
