On Wed January 2 2008, Aaron Kulkis scratched these words onto a coconut shell, hoping for an answer:
If you measured 19" visable, then the actual tube size is 20." My 21" diagonal screen has a 20"-diagonal viewing area (1600 x 1200 at 100x100 dpi)
Monitor manufacturers sell by the largest dimension that they can justify.. in this case, the diagonal of the outside dimensions of the tube, *NOT* the usable portion.
Go back to calculating from 20", but use the proper aspect ratio, and you should come out with the correct DPI (looks like it's probably close to 80x80 DPI)
Aaron, thanks for the suggestion. I switched back to 20." The aspect ratio throughout all of this has always been properly set at 4/3. Unfortunately changing back to 20" made no difference in my DPI problem. So I'm still working on finding a solution to my squished rectangles.
