I have a problem figuring out the different sizes you use in here.
if you say 6' is it then 6 Feet or what, and how do you messure that? Is that the height, the width or from corner to corne like inches???
And how much is it in Centimeters same goes for Inches (I know that the " sign is inches but not the messurements in Centimeters)
I come from Denmark and we don't use feet or inches, but Centimeters an Metres.
😕

When talking screens then size is always diagonal. The character ' is used for feet and " for inches as you say. One inch is, BY DEFINITION*, 25.4 mm but some parts of the world who are not metric refer to it as 2.54 cm. 1 foot is 12 inches meaning that 1 foot is the equivalent of 304.8 mm or 30.48 cm.
* As one of the few measures standardized between metric and inch this is EXACTLY 1 inch = 25.4 mm. For anything else is close at best AFAIK.

Dan, glad to see your using metric, Its really much easier and thus thats why we( in non metric) countries use it in Science fields........Caugh caugh we were supposed to go metric in the 70's If i recall correctly in the USA

good luck on DIY projection.

Exactly. However as the definition goes an inch is 25.4 mm. That is indeed the same as 2.54 cm. If you read my post I said that in the metric system an inch is 25.4 mm by definition but some people in places not using metric REFER to it as 2.54 cm. I did not say that it was any different...
No offense but I'd say you just prooved to be using inches in every day life...
Video Freak>> I really like the metric system as well, but OK I grew up with it 😀
Thanks if I ever get to it, it's a bit** finding an TFT/LCD monitor to use in Denmark at a fair price.
A 7" monitor is about 180$ or something a cheap TFT/LCD 15" monitor is about 302$ (And that is the Cheapest around) The NEC everybody (or some) are using is about 430$
I can get a Thrustmaster PSOne Screen for about 105$ but I have no idea if I can connect it directly to my DVD Player as I would like to do, and furthermore if I can tear it appart and put a light behind it.

UrSv.................. DON'T YOU KNOW centimeter (cm) is a metric unit on the metric system (SI)!!!!!!!! The SI system has a measurement base called meter (m) where which 1 millimeter (mm) is 1/1000m and 1 centimeter is 1/100m. I think you say what you say because in general you rarely see centimeter used in scientific measurements since powers of 3 are preferred (...10^3 - prefix kilo, base , 10^-3 - prefix milli, 10^-6 - prefix micro, ....) and anything in between can be sig digged using notation, thus those other prefixes are less used such as the centi, deci, deca, and hecto. I live in CANADA and we use the Système International (SI) also known most familiarly as the metric system. Don't confuse people next time, using cm means you are using the metric system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UrSv - Hate to burst your bubble but I live in Canada - nothing but metric over here 🙂 Anyways don't want to get in a big huff about something so trivial - the way I read your post yesterday made me think you were implying that they were different.

EXACTLY. 1 cm IS 10 mm and never has been anything else. I just felt like pointing out that 1 inch is 25.4 mm even if that is exactly the same as 2.54 cm. As a DEFINITION. I am from Sweden and we have lived with the metric system since 1879 so most people seem to know it fairly well as most of the people using the old system have died.
