That is about the same size as the country of Norway. Of course, no one knows what screen size those sets have, but it&#8217;s still a fun (if unscientific) stat. As for me, I am about to move and so I am getting rid of all the screens in my house except for four: MacBook Pro (Retina), iPad (Original), Kindle Paperwhite and iPhone5.
