OK... what is this?

[HughGuessWho99 14]

It's a template for cutting an lcd protector. Maybe?

I could be wrong, but what you are interpreting as being inches may be seconds of angle. It could be a grid for measuring on a map or something.

I was thinking the same thing. " could mean things other than inches.

Whatever it is, it's not linear.

I think Bitter was right when he said it was a diagonal measurement, which would also explain it being a LCD protector(or a part of one).

Quite possible, but wouldn't a normal ruler be just as efficient? Rather than a "Nope, not that one .. or that one .. or that one .. or that one" just measure from corner to corner.

The user wouldn't measure anything. They would simply cut out the template for their screen size.

Lots of different sized LCD's out there. I'm thinking this was the template to cut out whatever sized screen you have, which would be why there are so many different sizes shown.

You really think there's a DSLR out there with a 4" LCD screen...?

Medium format? Digital backs?

 

[Josh66]

Even medium format, a 4" screen would be bigger than the camera.
(Well, not always, but sometimes. Either way, it would be crazy huge.)

edit
Well... I don't know, I'm not so sure now... Still, that's a big LCD for a camera...

Gotcha. That makes more sense.

What about a GameBoy, PSP, DS, etc...

Good point. I am guessing the manufacturer just wanted to hit as many different product lines as possible to maximize the potential for sales.

If 480 would tell us where he ordered the memory card, we could probably find this product on their website.

Or he could simply ask them what it is.
