[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 632039, member: 2960"] If screen real estate were measured in inches, then that would make sense. However, screen real estate is measured in pixels, not inches... hence, you argument is the one that doesn't add up. :D That 13" model computer (1280 x 800) today has more screen real estate than its 15" (1152 x 768) predecessors. At home, I have two 17" Apple Studio Displays. I also have a 24" Sun Widescreen monitor. The 17 inchers are taller from top to bottom in physical height compared to the 24". However, the 24" has much more screen real estate, even if the physical height is shorter. Now, there are some studio displays that have a higher resolution capability than a widescreen display. If that were the case, then yes, those would have more real estate than a widescreen. It's all about the pixels... not the inches. :D [/QUOTE]
