Marketed as 14" but with the same viewable image area as the Apple 13".
Apple was about the last company to switch to the inflated imaginary
monitor size instead of what the actual display screen size was.
A pleasant surprise to me was learning that LCD screens are marketed with
actual display size, so a 17" LCD is the same as a 19" tube, and that makes
prices more attractive.
