measure it diagonally from corner to corner, it should be 24".

But since this is a 16:9 as opposed to 16:10, yours should be shorter but wider than regular monitors.

These 24" 1920 x 1080 LCD monitors are actaully smaller than regular 24" 1920 x 1200 LCD monitors. The actual diagonal length is probably 23.5".

A 16:9 monitor is just as wide as a 16:10 monitor. The only difference is it is not as tall/high since there are 120 less rows of pixels.
