Re: minimum monitor size

Good point; good catch. For the OP:

Most monitors, and the only LCD I have available, are in the same
ratio as a TV, which is 3:4:5, w, H, Diagonal resp.
The formula for the screen size is
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (a squared + b squared = c squared-[diagonal]).

For a 3, 4 the diagonal would be 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25, and
sq root 25 is 5: therfore, the diagonal for 3, 4 is 5. And so
on.
If b is the height, then a = sq root (c^2 - a^2). I just
measured some A4 paper at: 8 x 11 3/4.
It's still in the packaging so I'm positive it's A4.
I thought it was 11 1/2, but I guess I stand corrected.
So, you can work from there. And, be sure that the VISIBLE
diagonal measurement matches the height you need, not the picture
tube size: You lose a lot of viewing area on some monitors, not
so much on others.
