TFT dimensions

Posted by: Seanf on 21 April 2007

I’m buying a TFT monitor at last (probably LG). I was going to go for a 19” but am now thinking of a 22” wide screen, which brings me to a question: Is a 22 simply a stretched version of a 19, where the screen height remains the same (version A in my diagram below)? or does the height of the screen get reduced by the stretching (version B)? I could probably work this out with screen resolutions and pythagora’s but thought I would ask here first.



Thanks

It's a diagonal measurement in both cases, so the 19" will be 4:3 ratio with a native resolution of 1280 X 1024 and the 22" will be 16:10 with a native resolution of 1680 X 1050.

The widescreens are much better, you can fit heaps more crap on them.
