    I got a measuring tape and measured my screen. Side to side, its 16". Top to bottom of the LCD is 11" (from the pointed tip at the middle).

    Thanks so much :). Do those dimensions include the bezels? I ask because they are the exact same as in my 5 year old XPS M1730 that isn't a "17.3" screen. Or is yours not a 17.3 widescreen?

    You're welcome! The measurements include the bezels. I have the 17.3" widescreen 1600x900 resolution.
