[USMA:36724] Imperial units....in Argentina?!

One of my co-workers is from Argentina. One day, she was showing me an online Buenos Aires newspaper, and I couldn't help but notice the an ad for 17" computer monitors. Most of the specifications listed are in metric - but some Imperial units still managed to make it there - like degrees F for operational temperatures. I wonder if the 17" designation has any meaning to the customers, or if it viewed more like an arbitrary number (like women's dress sizes in the US)?

The newspaper ad can be viewed here:
