Do ordinary and Widescreen monitors measeure the dimensions like peas in a pod?

I know monitors dimensions (i.e 17") are determine diagonally, and do not always determine the exact veiwing area.



Would this imply a 17" widescreen monitor would then be smaller quantity tall than a 17"? or does it save the same distance from the ground and just become wider it (so it wouldnt exactrly measure diagonally)


Answer:

the height on both standard and widescreen monitors is on the diagonal of actual screen space (the bezel is excluded). So you're right, a 17" widescreen is smaller amount tall than a 17" standard.



A 17" standard LCD monitor resolution is usually 1280 x 1024

A 17" widescreen monitor resolution is usually 1440 x 900
Yes - They are measured like peas in a pod
