Metric vs Imperial Units
Users debate, convert, and joke about measurements in metric (mm, cm, m) versus imperial (inches, feet) units, often referencing dimensions from an article or product specs like range finders or displays.

I get about 4cm wide at 50cm distance.
You might consider switching back to imperial... (165.5mm)
It's 3.5 inches, not millimeters :)
Surely its accurate to 2.4 meteres though?
How much is that in metres though?
Should really be (20.5cm) though?
Less then 5 meters seems a little short.
On my display it's 350 metres long...
(For the people that don't measure the world in limbs: that is ~10 meters.)
Nice, but they should give the measurements in inches as well.
