Using those figures, I get similar results: 38.55 inch line width, or a 44
inch diagonal measure 16:9 screen, and a 48 inch or so 4:3 screen. Of
course, I haven't accounted for having more than one dot of each color per
pixel, nor the actual pixel configuration.
The issue, then, is how many sets have such closely spaced phosphors, and
how many sets have monospaced pixels. Neither appears to be universal.

Fine. So then what math are you using to calculate your massive screen
widths?
My math would be:
.51mm x 1920 = 979.2mm or about 98cm, or about 38.5 inches. Since we're
being
precise here, those measurements aren't exactly correct because it would
clip
exactly one 'dot' (half a dot each side).
To be honest, I've lost where this thread is/was going. None of this stuff
has
anything to do with 4:3 versus 16:9.
