- >There is no 33" Panasonic in the U.S.,...well, really there is, but we just
- measure the tube differently. In the U.S. only that portion of the CRT that
- contanins picture is allowed to be used in screen size specs. In Canada and
- many other countries the entire horizontal length of the tube (including the
- "blank" or "black" area around the perimeter of the picture area) can be
- included. So, the 31" here is the 33" there.
