The diagonal was fine as a standard when monitors were CRT, but now they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so the diagonal is often misleading. I guess it's fortunate that televisions are relatively standard. But I digress.Have you measured your laptop? Mine is supposed to be a 15.6, but it's only 15" long. The screen is 15.6" diagonally, which is how they (weirdly) measure screens like monitors and tvs.
