In a computer display, the screen is the physical surface
on which visual information is presented. This surface is usually made
of glass. The screen size is measured from one corner to the opposite
corner diagonally. Common screen sizes for desktop display screens are
12, 14, 17, 19, and 21 inches.
This term is not to be confused with panel, which is a representation
of what information will appear on the screen in given circumstances.
