Monitor size is measured differently in different countries.
It used to be the distance between opposite corners of the tube.
In UK (possibly all EU) and Canada I believe, it is now legally
defined to be distance between corners of the viewable area.
So you can see strange things on monitor boxes such as
17" monitor (16" in UK and Canada), when it's always the same
monitor in the box.

I suspect your situation arises because you are in a country
where it will be sold as a 17" monitor, but the plug-and-play
data returned is the viewable area, since this is used for
working out the dot pitch, and hence the font and icon sizes.

If you quoted part of the post, we might know what problem you are talking
about, without looking back at all the posts on the subject and guessing what
problem you are talking about.

echo '16"' | /usr/openwin/bin/mp -n -z 16 | lp


take the output, cut and paste it to your monitor
