How do you measure the Computer Screen?

Answer 1

A monitor's size is the distance (usually measured in inches) from corner to corner, diagonally across the screen.

This applies to widescreen and normal/full screen monitors.

However the manufacturer's specified size might be slightly more than the actual 'viewable size' for a couple of reasons:

1. They tend to round-up. So what they might call a 24 inch monitor might actually only be 23.5 inches.

2. A CRT monitor's size traditionally includes the casing around the screen, for reasons dating back to the invention of the technology decades ago. This doesn't apply to lcd flat panel monitors.

See the related link(s) for a more indepth guide and a tool for getting an approximate measurement of a monitor screen size.

By Measuring the monitor diagonally this will give you the screen size.

The specific models of the laptops usually have uniform sizes of the screens. So, if you know the model number, you can very easily look up its screen size.

Answer 2

The measurement of the width of a television screen can be done with a measuring tape. Typically, however, television screen measurements are done based on the length of the diagonal of the screen. To measure this, place the measuring tape at one corner of the screen and measure the distance to the opposite corner.

Answer 3

diagonally from upper corner to opposite lower corner.

Answer 4

On the diagonal, corner to opposite corner.
