But technically - YOU are wrong ;). As for 2D screens you also specify the diagonal without pointing out the real size in vertical and horizontal direction. This is defined by the aspect ratio (e.g. 16:10, 4:3). So, accordingly, these 3D screens would be categorised by a two dimensional space. In fact you could still refer to them with a one dimensional size (e.g. 24" (that would be quite small)) and would leave the rest to standardisation (e.g. 16:10:8 - or whatever makes sense to you, who am I to judge?). But in one point, you are right, Ross would never manage to figure that out :) (why the hell am I thinking of http://xkcd.com/481/ right now ... :D ) I know what you mean.

Therefore, you may refer to a 3D screen (whatever that could possibly look like) with 24"x24" instead of 24"x24"x24". Great, nonetheless.

Distance to the third power equals volume, it's just thinking that there IS a 3D monitor that's idiotic. It’s actually not idiotic to relate 24X24X24 inches to volume(liters).
