Thanks for that chaps. In the end I took a tape measure to Richer Sounds.

As Svalbaard says there can be a lot of variation in absolute width at a given screen size - some T.V.s have quite a wide surrounding bezel, while other don't.

I don't think there is anything more "general". I had to go out with a tape measure in the end and measure the TVs physically. It was a toss up between a 26" Sony and a 26" Panasonic, with the Panasonic being about 4" narrower overall than the Sony due to having the speakers located under the screen.

Anybody any ideas or links?

The official specs from the product description on the manufacturer site for a given model should provide that information I would've thought? I'm pretty sure I got the dimensions for my plasma from the Pioneer site.
