Dumb Question about TFT Sizes

jchiver · 20 Sep 2006 at 15:15

My Question is how they calculate the size of TFT/LCD monitors.

Are all monitors done diagnals or accross the top? and if not which is the best to buy for games and movies etc?

Thanks for your help

thatnod said:
Widescreens probably... still measured diagonally tho.
So if its a 19" non-widescreen (4:3) it has the same viewable surface area as a 19" widescreen (16:9).

isnt true wide screen 16:10?
