Can a 25" chasis and 25" tube make a 27" monitor?
« on: July 06, 2007, 11:33:21 am »
I know.  It sounds like a rediculous question.  But I just picked up a cabinet last night that has a WG25k5501 and a RCA 25" tobe (according to the sticker), but the monitor looks much larger than any 25" monitor I've seen.  And the best I can measure diagonally (without taking the glass off) looks closer to 27".

Does this make any sense?  Or should I just trust the stickers?

Yup, trust the stickers.
