Physical Monitor Sizes and Aspect Ratios

[Michael Carter]

Hopefully this will help when trying to decide on a display monitor for MIP's and other panels where a definate viewable size must be known.

Note that this does not take into consideration the varied sizes of bezels manufacturers use for these panels. If you plan on leaving the monitor intact for use, make sure you have a good photo where you can closely estimate the added size of the monitor bezel.

Two manufaturers that use a very thin frame for the bezel are Hanns and Dell. There are probably others as well so shop carefully before you buy.
