From a review of a monitor in this week's "Amateur Photographer":

"The 22in screen will fit on most computer desks, although bear in mind that it is bigger than the average 19in screen."

No, really? ;-)

ETA:
"We had a modified English breakfast back at Kymalton House: muesli, fruit, yogurt, toast, tea, scrambled eggs for Jeff, and poached eggs and baked beans for me."

Um, how is that an English breakfast?

Since the 22in is referring to the visible screen dimensions not the monitor's actual size, then it would be possible for a 22in screen to be smaller than a 19in screen. A 19" CRT would be bigger than a 22" TFT (and certainly heavier).

bigger than the average 19in screen

I'm curious about the implication that it might not be bigger than the largest 19" screens, though I may be reading between the lines too much l-)

Well, it's not a FULL English breakfast, but still had some of the elements: toast, tea, eggs, baked beans. Thus it was a modified English breakfast. I think the baked beans alone make it uniquely English. :)

re your ETA, I think in the context of B&B/guesthouse breakfasts it makes perfect sense - they didn't have the 'full English' on this occasion, but instead of *just* having 'continental-style' sideboard items (muesli, fruit, yoghurt) and toast they also had some of the cooked 'English breakfast' elements on offer. I'm not really sure why you see a problem with it?
