Diagonal

The term "sq.", subsequently, does no longer mean sq. inches. relatively, some TVs (few those days) had the corners rounded. "sq.", subsequently, potential the corners are sq.. 21 inches potential that the diagonal is 21 inches long (the exhibit screen isn't 21 sq. inches - which would be lots smaller). This, of direction, is larger than a 19 inch (diagonal) television. some thing else to bear in mind is TVs classically have had a element ratio of four:3 (if it have been 3 inches tall, it would be 4 inches huge; if it have been 6 inches tall, it would be 8 inches huge, etc.). Now-a-days, sixteen:9 has develop into primary, rather wih Plasma HD TVs. So, a 21 inch 4:3 ratio television won't evaluate to a 21 inch sixteen:9 ratio television. playstation : They used to degree the glass of the tube, no longer taking into attention that section off the glass is roofed via the cabinet. This introduced approximately some courtroom circumstances. They now might desire to state the diagonal that's seen/viewable.

21 is the diagonal dimension correct.

Gretchen has it all wrong. TV screens are measured on the diagonal...only.

It's a diagonal measurement... so from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.... or top left to bottom right.
Hope this helps!

that is the diagonal measurement; from corner to corner of the screen, of course.
