12.1 inch = 13 inches for LCD display?
12.1 inch diagonal, from corner to corner of the overlying mask, but that
would be called 13 inches wouldn't it. No way it would be called a 12 inch model ? |

For a while, they were all being honest about LCD sizes. Lately, the word "class" has been used - as in "22 inch class TV" - so they are back to their old games. |

Mr Yanik, this is physically impossible. A 16:9 set with 1080 by 1920 pixels CANNOT display a 16:9 image with anything other than correct geometry. There is a fixed number of pixels, with a fixed "shape" (square). What you are most-likely seeing is a 4:3 broadcast that has been widened to fill the screen. How could a rational person think that monitors were so grossly misdesigned? |

There are sets without this problem (generally plasma). Buy one. |
