    How do they measure TV screens?? WTF?!?!

    I went to Best Buy because they have a great sale on cdrs, I also was doing some TV shopping. I am there with my measuring tape to make sure that the tv that I want will fit into my entertainment center and their signs say that they are 24, 27, 32 inches and so forth. I go to check them out..........there was a 27 in. where the whole tv front didn't even measure 24 WTF :confused: , so I go to see some others and none of them are what they claim. How do they measure these tubes??

    Sorry for the silly rant.......I just found it weird....

          They use the standard Dick measurement system...

          Take the actual measurement in inches, add 3 inches, multiply by ego squared and then divide by 10...

              Please tell me that you didn't just measure straight across the TV screen....

              For the love of God, I hope you didn't.

                                  That's me.

                                  It's all in good fun, though.

                                      Honesty is the best policy.

                                      I have a friend that did the same thing so don't worry about it.

                                      Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!
