Monitor screens are measured in various ways. Some measurements only refer to the opening of the front bezel, while others measure the full size of the CRT. LCD and CRT monitors are measured differently, including horizontally and vertically vs. diagonal or metric vs. English measuring systems. In an effort to provide an industry standard method of defining the usable image area for CRT displays and enable consumers to compared products more easily, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) created the Video Image Area Definition Standard (VIAD) in 1995. However, the measurement of monitor screens can become confusing when they are manufactured in varying aspect ratios. This white paper address the above mentioned issues.
