Hi.
I am planning to buy a 25~27" inch monitor. I will be moving by land using mostly public transport about twice a year and I need to somehow carry that monitor with me. Carrying it in it's original box in a carry-on luggage seems the best option to me (open for suggestions though).
Monitor package size is usually available on manufacturer's website. But when it comes to carry-on luggages interior dimensions, anywhere I look I see ambiguous "size" and "volume" properties. Sometimes size is inconsistent and greater than specified volume - that PROBABLY means that size property represents external dimensions. Googling on that also feels like a waste of time - mostly getting topics about airline dimensional constraints (not relevant). I also don't have physical access to them locally to come and measure.
Of course I can always go for something much bigger to secure fitment, but I don't want to overpay and carry additional weight.
So how to choose a carry-on luggage for a monitor? Let's just take Philips 276E8VJSB 27" monitor as an example. Packaging dimensions are 660x523x135mm 6.6kg.
