However, this product is not geared towards consumers who want a maximum of desktop space, so you might not mind too much. We say unfortunately because the actual screen-diagonal of the Chimei is 15.6 inches, negating the surety of recent years where the inches advertised equaled the inches you got to see and use. Yes, unfortunately you read that right, not 17in, not 15in, but 16in. So it’s somewhat surprising to find one of the smallest monitor-boxes that we have seen for quite a while in the office, containing Chimei’s new 16″ widescreen monitor. 15 inch LCDs, once the ruling size (back when one of them cost you an arm and several toes), seem to have dropped off the map many e-tailers don’t even stock them anymore. These have since been superseded by 20 and 22″ screens in the mainstream, with 24 inchers dominating the high-end. In 2006, the most popular sizes were 17 and 19 inches. In our constant quest for more desktop real-estate for less money, the de-facto standard LCD monitor size keeps increasing.
