Frequently asked questions

Is 17 inches a standard monitor size?
17 inches (43.18 cm) was a common monitor diagonal measurement in the early 2000s, though it's considered small by today's standards. Modern monitors typically start at 21-24 inches. If you're measuring an older CRT or laptop screen, 17 inches would be on the smaller end of the spectrum.
What objects are about 17 inches long?
A standard sheet of paper is about 11 inches, so 17 inches (43.18 cm) is roughly 1.5 sheets end-to-end. It's also close to the width of a standard laptop keyboard, or slightly longer than a large dinner plate's diameter. A 17-inch measurement is roughly the height of a small microwave.
