Just saw a privacy filter from 3M for laptops with a diagonal screen measure excluding the plastic frame (hence, the true diagonal of the viewable screen) of 14.1". The packaging gave the dimensions of the filter (length and width) plus the diagonal measure of the screen in both Imperial/USC and metric. This is the first time I've seen the diagonal screen measure given on a pacakge in metric in addition to Imperial/USC.
The packaging is clearly for a Western Hemisphere and EU market since all the instructions are given in a bunch of European languages (including 2 flavors of Spanish and 2 flavors of French, which I take to be Iberian and Latin American Spanish in the first case and Metropolitan and Canadian French in the second). Interestingly enough, there was only one instance of English (though none of the words had more than one possible spelling, which tells me 3M believes, whether rightly or wrongly, that the Brits would have used the same words on the package that Americans do. ;-) Ezra
