Hi i recently bought what i thought was a 22" AOC monitor down the computer store as it was in the 22" section. However when i returned home i realised it said on the box it is 21.5". Does anyone know why it is 21.5"?

I suspect the store lacked a label or a section for 21.5 inch monitors. Be interesting to measure yours -- I checked my 19 inch flatscreen and it's exactly 19 inches.

Back in the days of CRT, screens were measured to include the part of the glass obscured by the plastic case so that my remaining Trinitron 19 actually has only 18 inches of usable space.
