It is typical in the industry to cite the actual dimensions of the CRT
"bottle" itself rather than the viewing area.  In the case of the
Visual Technology 640 XDS(tm), we use a 14 inch, flat-screen,
anti-glare Clinton tube, the same one DEC uses in the VT330 graphics
terminal.  Ours may look smaller (and measure smaller, if you don't
open up the case) because we have a wider bezel, but the image area is
the same size.
