The standard ratio for TVs is 4:3. For a widescreen TV it's 16:9.Orthography Enthusiast @ Apr 24 2004, 09:44 AM wrote: BTW, there's no way of knowing how tall or wide the screen is, even though we know the diagonal measurement, unless we know one of the other dimensions or the ratio of height to width of the screen, is there?
So, on a standard 4:3 ratio TV, a 2000" diagonal would result in a height of 1200" and a width of 1600".
To the nearest inch, a widescreen TV would have height of approximately 981" and width of approximately 1744".

Wow! Dave thanks now I can picture that size TV better too bad I don't have enough room in my apartment for either the standard or widescreen I guess I'll just have to keep the one I have. O-)
I just listened to the song on headphones and you guys are right it is a good one for headphones.
