Screen *dimensions* should be given in millimeters, height and width (not diagonal, which is a relic of the round CRT era, and can be easily converted to height and width if the aspect ratio is 3:4, but not if it's 9:16). > The "best" unit for TV pixel density is the unit "pixels per meter > squared." (I hesitate to call "pixels/m^2" an "SI unit." How is "pixel" > related to SI? I've seen "px" used as a symbol for "pixel", and I have a camera labeled on the box in megapixels. I don't think I've seen "Mpx" though. Pierre -- lo ponse be lo mruli po'o cu ga'ezga roda lo ka dinko
