Let's see where the imperial nonsense is still in use:

Just embarrassing!

Re: It's a 303 lb (137.727 Kg) cardboard box!

Err, mate... its the screen that weighs in at 303lbs... the box would weigh considerably less...

And the person to live in would to be extremely thin ;)

Don't make it harder than it is. You don't need to know the different measurements to convert stuff.
Just type in google:
82 inches in cm
303 pounds in kg
(x)$ in £ (though they don't guarantee accurate exchange rates)

I have to say that my current IPS LCD monitor has 1200p resolution. 1920x1200. It is 26" diagonal.

I cant imagine the pixel size of a 83 inch model. It is a tad useless unless you are sitting 30 feet away.

83*2.5 ... 207.5cm diagonal measure
303/2.2 ... 137.72kg weight

The calculator found in Windows and most versions of Linux works just fine

This Yank even learned how to add pounds/shillings/pence and work out the dollar value of the prize when gold guineas (21s) were given away.

Metric, imperial & US standard are in use all over the world. Get used to using your calculator :)

BTW http://www.xe.com/ucc will help with those nasty currency questions.

303 lbs probably means liquid bullsh!t, since we are talking about a liquid crystal display, right?

Seriously, can we get in the future the displays' area in width times height, measured each in cm, and can we get the weight in kg, PLEASE?

I noticed recently that The Register is actually coping with International Standard units, at least they do far better than The Inquirer. That tells me something about the editors at The Inquirer.

The solution to the paragraph break bug was not to insert horizontal line ( <hr>) tags but to insert paragraph (<p>) tags!

No no no no no no!

It's a 303 lb (137.727 Kg) cardboard box! So your next home won't blow away in the first mild breeze!

For those metrically challenged people: you may calculate the ratio of lb to Kg. Your computer has a built in calculator. Use the '/' operator.)

What's that? What's 303 pounds in kilograms as well for us Internationally minded folks?

To get to the other side.

Headslap, when someone asks why the chicken crossed the road, they don't actually expect to hear a proper answer.

I'm pretty sure that 303 lbs, as in weight. I highly doubt there is an expected price yet, and if there were it certainly wouldn't be as low as $436.35 (the equivalent of 303 british pounds, google is a wonderful tool, try it sometime).

What's that? What's 303 pounds in real money as well for us Internationally minded folks?
