15" or less: Small to mid laptops
15-30": Mid-to-large laptops, CRT displays, most LCDs
30-60": Most two-monitor setups of any main/old monitor size, and high end LCDs
60-90": Presumably 2-4 monitors, depending on quality, and some solo tv-as-monitor setups
More than 90": Presumably above 3-5 monitors, depending on quality; 3+ large LCDs, or 5+ 18" CRTs, along with more exotic displays, such as projectors
Given the vague wording of the question, it also lacks any kind of distinguishment between multiple single-headed computers, and lone multi-monitor setups, which seem like very different usage cases to me. My two ancient 18" CRTs, one standalone and the other the head of a KVM switch, leaves me rubbing shoulders with the $1000+ single-LCD users.

Yeah, if I added up the monitors on all my computers, it would be crazy high.
On just my primary machine, it's in the 30"-60" range. Though I have two monitors, I tend to keep the second one turned off except when I need it.

Are they all in-use at the same time though? I could add up a bunch like that too. But sitting right here typing I have a 20" 4x3 panel and a 19" 4x3 panel. So 39". Poorly phrased as usual for surveys - but I took it to mean "what are you using right now?"
Indeed, very poorly worded. I assumed "in-use" to mean hooked up to an active computer and not sitting in a closet. Also, what about KVM switches. Does "non-TV" include or exclude a TV that is hooked up to a HTPC?
Right now I have two 24" monitors on my desk, one of which is hooked up to a 4 port KVM and my laptop with a 19" display. Which is generally how I work. If I add in the wife's laptop and daughter's computer and the HTPC, then it's well over 90"

As far as combined diagonal of 20" and 19" goes, that would depend on the area of the monitors to accurately calculate the diagonal of the "resulting" rectangle.

I'd say yes, that's how I counted it. Alternatively, if you had a monitor hooked up to a tuner or other TV-esque device, I'd call that a "TV". I suppose if that TV-esque device were a myth box, etc., one could argue either way.
