motherboard size standards
LCDs are not the same size as the CRT. LCD are higher for the same size CRT screen! Measure the monitor is measured diagonally. Since the advent of television, this has been the industry standard for the measurement of the screen. Computer monitors, when he reached the scene, the measure has become the diagonal of the tube itself, not visible in actual screen. When you look at the screen, there is a plastic box that houses your CRT tube and other components, but when you look at the front of your monitor, it is probably an inch or more of a frame around your picture tube. This hides the rest of the picture tube attached in the table.
Now, Take a ruler or tape measure and measure the image you see, measured diagonally, and note that the actual measurement is smaller than the size monitors claimed. For example, my 19-inch CRT monitor, which measures the actual image bottom left of the image above right is actually 17.25 inches, or in other words, only 25 inches wider than 17 inches if the measure only to control the actual display screen 19-inch monitor that would qualify for 17-inch LCD monitor. This is where the action comes in. LCD
LCD monitors are measured by actual viewable screen. They have not completed a large tube beyond the screen is LCD flat behind a series of tube lights that shine through the stained glass to illuminate the screen. A 17-inch LCD is 17 inches in diagonal of a 19-inch monitor is 19 inches diagonally, or about 1.75 inches larger than my example of the CRT.
Another little known glich in measurements control is how the diagonal of a widescreen monitor reduces the overall height of the screen which in turn reduces the size of a standard 4:3 to a smaller size. Example: If you buy a television screen 32 inches wide and a movie broadcast standard in its original format, in essence, watching a television of 26 inches. A new assessment of how far this effect in full screen if please read my article Widescreen. [http://www.thegourdreserve.com/dailysaleswidescreen.shtml]
My name is Dan Dunkin, I have been working on computers, building and upgrading as well as programming computers since the first tandy Color computer came out in 1980. Originally I programmed in QBasic, later I explored OS9 which was basically a Pascal based language, then with the technology increases into the pentium chips I finally merged this into the Visual Basic fields. My latest hobbies in electronics are dream shopping and finding answers to some of the seldom asked questions like monitor measurements, solid state hard drives, how to tweak and streamline computers to make them run more efficiently and more. Basically I am one who likes to ask the questions no one else thought to ask and finding the solutions to those questions.
In dream shopping I’ve discovered where to find values for different types of electronics and like to share them with others through my website.
