Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches?

It is also measured in inches in Europe and it is weird. Electronics get sold globally and I guess nobody wants to discuss a “139.7 cm TV”.
It’s a magic number though and I cannot imagine the sizes. I just know that 55 is bigger than 49. It is the same with phones, where it is much less important as screen ratios “get improved” every year and the diagonal means basically not much.
