This was in my local ad on sunday
This is ALMOST as bad as calling a phone "4g", as carriers such as att and verizon have soiled it and made a cliche. But that is a different story.

No. I see a Plasma screen measured at 50.7" and a 3D Plasma measured at 50.7", just one says 50" and the other says 51". The Samsung has a thinner bezel so you get more screen. I would call that 51". The Panasonic, no.

Well, it is just complete bogus. I mean, there needs to be a fucking standard for this because this is not the first time I have seen this.
2 weeks there was a so called 19" samsung monitor, but it was listed as 18.1", and there was another as 19" panasonic that was listed as 19.8", which might seem minor, but is actually almost a two inch difference between them which is actually alot.

Just look at that and don't fall for marketing schemes. Just don't be retarded and you don't have.... wait... forgot it's you.. Carry on.

It's the simplest math...
Also those prices are insane, I just got a 46" 600hz 1080i plasma for $270 at costco.

Look at how thick that bezel is...
Also not 1080p.

Me? I tend to like aesthetically appealing electronics. Hence why I have a thin bezel TV and monitor. I would rather spend more for something that looks nicer and has a higher resolution than pay less for something thick and lesser resolution.
