Are flat panel monitors measured like as CRT's?
is this true? exactly how is the viewing nouns of flat panel monitors measured? any links to sources (e. g., diagrams, etc) would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
CRTs are rated by the diagonal height, but are not necessarilly that dimension. So a 17 inch CRT is not 17 inches.
LCD and other flat panel monitors are measured by the advertised diagonal dimension. So a 17 inch LCD really 17 inches. So a typical LCD monitor is larger than the CRT equivalent, except they are FLAT.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
I believe flat panel are measured by their absolute viewing diagonal ... whereas CRT's are measured by the size of the monitor including the border of the chassis. So as a rule CRT's viewing area is going on for 0.8" smaller than the actual advertised measurements.
source deed: Screen (viewable) Size
Most people today tend to look at a 17-inch CRT or bigger monitor. When you purchase a 17-inch CRT monitor, you usually attain 16.1 inches or a bit more of actual viewing area, depending on the brand and capitalist of a specific CRT. The difference between the "monitor size" and the "view area" is due to the large bulky frame of a CRT. If you purchase a 17" LCD monitor, you if truth be told get a full 17" viewable nouns, or very close to a 17".
NO crts are if truth be told like 1in. smaller amount (18in crt is 17in)
they are mesured differently only if the lcd monitor is cavernous screen. Other than that the mesurement is equal.
