I think that for a while Apple was measuring their monitors by the 
visible size, but stopped that because people were comparing their 
monitors to monitors by other manufacturers by the rated size. Because 
Apple used visible size while others used tube size, it made Apple 
monitors look even more expensive than they actually were.(because 
people would compare an Apple with 14 inch visible to another brand's 14 
inch tube with 13 inch visible)

Of course, this might be a myth, but it is interesting. Can anyone 
confirm/disprove this?
