How do companies measure LCD screens? Diagonally?

Thanks.

Diagonally.

Widescreen LCD's I know are measured diagonally. Normal LCD's are measured straight across (I think).

No, they are both measured diagonally.

All screens, TVs and computer monitors alike, are measured diagonally.

If that were the case, "normal" LCDs would be wider than widescreen LCDs at the same size, which doesnt make much sense. They are all measured diagonally.
