Not true, it's just that most LCDs are 16:9 format, and 16:9 screens have less area for the same diagonal compared to 4:3 screens---about 10% less, so they appear smaller. With computer LCDs there is a separate issue in that CRT sizes were often measured in terms of the actual picture tube size, some of which was always covered by the plastic border, so that a nominal 17" actually only had 15" of display area. (Sort of like 2x4s.) With LCDs the entire display area is measured.
