What is how to measure a tv?

Here's how to measure a TV screen:

  • Diagonal Measurement: The most common way to measure a TV is diagonally from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner. This measurement determines the TV's advertised screen size. Use a flexible measuring tape for the most accurate result. Be sure to measure only the screen and not the frame around it.

  • Width and Height: You can also measure the width and height of the TV screen. These measurements are useful for determining if the TV will fit into a specific space, like an entertainment center or wall mount. Ensure you are measuring only the active display area, not the bezel.

  • Units of Measurement: TV sizes are almost always given in inches, even in countries that typically use the metric system. Therefore, take your measurements in inches. If you measure in centimeters, remember to convert to inches (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters).

  • Measuring the Total TV Dimensions: If you need to know the overall TV dimensions (including the bezel), measure the width, height, and depth of the entire unit, including any stands or speakers attached to it. This is important for ensuring that the TV physically fits in your desired location.
