- This is somewhat of a misstatement. The NEC 5FG front bezel only
- measures 15.5" corner-to-corner, which means it's a 15.5-inch monitor,
- not a 17-inch monitor as NEC would like you to believe. This isn't so
- surprising, I guess, considering that the 4FG -- which is supposedly a
- 15-inch monitor -- only measures 13.5" corner-to-corner. I guess NEC
- has never heard of truth in advertising...
