If you are just asking for dimensions, I just calculated them using the Pythagorean theorem:

15.0" regular screen = 12" x 9"
15.4" widescreen = 13.06" x 8.16"

I just made a diagram comparing the two, with red representing 15.0", blue representing 15.4", and purple representing where they overlap:

Check this representation out:

It'll give you a pretty good comparison if you know the video standard that corresponds to the screen dimensions

That diagram shows the various resolutions at the same DPI, which is not what the OP wants. The OP needs to compare physical screen sizes.
