It's definitely smaller than I was expecting. 18.2" x 19" My 27" display is almost 25" wide.

Maybe I'm bad at reading, but it would be nice if the page explained "this is the equivalent of two 20-inch 16:9 monitors stacked" instead of having to bust out the Pythagorean theorem.

  The specs panel has Dimension without Stand (W x H x D): 481.5 x 549.5 x 44.9 mm

  It's approximately two 21.345-inches stacked, not 20.

According to what you are writing, it is much bigger than your display: if your display had a 27'' diagonal, and was 25'' wide, it would be 10'' tall. (Which makes little sense: it would be a 5:2 proportion.) So it would have an area of 250 sqi. Versus the ~350 sqi of the LG. (It is quite a jump: the rounded √2 jump, 5:7, Ax proportion, "do it twice to double".) The steeper (or flatter) the proportion, the less the area per diagonal size. But I guess the display for comparison is more likely a 24''x13'' scarce, ~300 sqi.

  'if your display had a 27'' diagonal, and was 25'' wide, it would be 10'' tall." 10" tall? I think your math is off. My monitor is P2175Q. Dimension with bezel 25.2 x 16.7. LCD alone is 23.5 x 13.25".

    > I think your math is off How? Have you verified it? √(625+100) = ~26.9 You brought the measurements of your 16:9 : yes, one of the points was that a 27'' diagonal with a 25'' side cannot be 16:9, and is in fact more like 5:2, as written. Going from 25'' to 23.5'' makes a lot of difference in proportions.

I was all ready to buy one of these until I realised it was the size of two 21” displays stacked, rather than two 27” as the resolution suggests. I know I wouldn’t be losing any horizontal resolution, but I think 27” is the perfect width for a primary monitor and I wouldn’t really want to go smaller.

It's definitely smaller than I was expecting. 18.2" x 19" My 27" display is almost 25" wide.
