We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.
Multiple LCD's = Big LCD?

good for multitasking, poor for gaming that doesn't support it which is basically all games cept a flight sim or two. bad for video. a line down the middle of your video ruins it. if you can't afford two big big screens and need to multitask like crazy or just like dual display, get one big, one small. 2nd monitor ussually is for monitoroing stuff anywasys

According to this spreadsheet it is 13.8" viewable. So in actuallity a 14" LCD would be an upgrade for you.😛

not necessarily, i saw an lcd (samsung i think) that was 20 inch with a 18 inch viewable becuase it had an insanely thick bezel
LCD's can display edge to edge w/o distortion. Which is why there is only one measurement. You can see 'all' the screen and use it.
IIRC, CRT's distort as the picture is closer to the edges.... it's not a bezel size issue, it's an issue of the CRT design. The manuf. determine what the best usable area is of the CRT and call that the viewable size. They design the monitor casing to hide the area that's not practical to use.
I've never seen an LCD w/ a 'viewable' size different than the display size. The example above might have included the physical dimensions of the device, but, normally they use LxWxH and not diagonal for that, so, it makes no sense. I guess I'll ask if anyone has an example of a PC LCD that doesn't have 100% usable space as part of the design?

argh you trolls! Go start your own thread *ANGRY*...go yoink anothe rone, but not mine 😛. All in all, 9 might be overkill, but does anybody know if there's a way to combine, say 6 KDS rad-5's (I have 1), so that I have some widescreen goodness? Can somebody point me into the right direction? I don't recall the name for this either (active matix?). Argh, I would love to build some cool gaming rig that can utilize this funcitonality. Oh btw, the Nvidia thing that can use 2 screens and make them both viewable is called 'n-view'. I believe only the GF4 have them.

Yep. I have a 22" flat CRT with a 20" viewable so that maximum sharpness can be maintained over the entire viewable area.
