We don't list sizes in inches, since a 12" monitor and a 20" monitor may
both be able to display 640x480 pixels. We list size in pixels. These are
the common sizes supported on older Macs:
512x384: Apple 12" color monitor for LC series
640x480: 13" or 14" common, but larger displays will amost always work at
this setting
640x870: Apple Portrait Display and comparable screens from Radius,
RasterOps, etc.
832x624: Apple designed this for the 16" display, but it works with most
15" and larger multisync monitors
1024x768: Not too common on older Macs, usually used on 17" and larger
monitors
1152x870: Designed for Apple's original Two-Page Display (19" or 20"
grayscale), usually supported on 19" and larger screens
1280x960, 1280x1024: Supported by some Power Macs, but rarely on vintage
Macs.
When the profile of the LC III says "video: 512 KB VRAM, expandable to
768 KB; supports 512x384, 640x480, 640x870, and 832x624 resolutions" that
indicates supported resolutions. If you were to connect the LC III to a
15" or 17" multisync monitor, it might display 512x384, would definitely
display 640x480 and 832x624, but wouldn't even give 640x870 as an option
(since that's for a vertical tube).
Hope that clears things up.

The more acceptance that technology gets, the harder it is to change.
If enough people are stuck at the same level, they think it's the truth.
