Frequently asked questions

Is 40 cm big enough for a laptop screen?
No, 40 cm (15.748 inches) is considered a small laptop screen by modern standards. Most laptops today have screens between 13 and 17 inches, so 40 cm falls on the smaller end. It would be suitable for a compact ultrabook or netbook, but larger laptops typically have screens of 15+ inches diagonally.
I need to frame a poster that's 40 cm wide. What size frame should I buy in inches?
You should look for a frame that's approximately 15.748 inches wide (or round up to 16 inches for standard sizing). Since frames are typically sold in standard inch measurements, a 16-inch frame would be the closest common size available and would fit your 40 cm poster with minimal extra space.
