Pixel pitch?

I'm trying to decide on a 19" LCD to purchase. I've noticed that most of them have a pixel pitch of .294, but some have a pixel pitch of .264. What difference will i see with .264 as opposed to .294?
 
Well, since pixel pitch is the actual physical size of each individual pixel in millimeters, the .264 will produce a finer image if both screens are the same size. This would mean that smaller pixel pitch LCD *should* have a higher resolution than the other.

What are the resolutions of the aforementioned LCDs?
 
the .264 monitors are 17" and the .294 is 19". Since they have the same number of pixels, the pixels are physically larger on the 19" screens. I think whatever site you're looking at must have made a typo....especially considering that "9" and "6" are right next to each other on the numpad of a keyboard.

 
LunchboX3904, that's what i thought, but Newegg, and other sites, not to mention the manufacturer's sites, list these monitors as 19" with a .264 pixel pitch.

Some examples:

Sceptre X9g-Naga IV 19"
Jetway M1931TB 19"

So are they completly incorrect on the pixel pitch or am I going to receive a 17" monitor if i purchase one?
 
You will get a 19" monitor, but the pixel pitch they specify is simply wrong.
