Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Size Comparison

How is screen size measured?

Screen size is typically measured diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner, expressed in inches or centimeters. For example, a 50" TV means the diagonal measurement is 50 inches.

What's the difference between screen size and screen dimensions?

Screen size typically refers to the diagonal measurement, while screen dimensions include the width and height measurements. The actual dimensions depend on the aspect ratio of the screen.

How do I calculate screen area?

Screen area is calculated by multiplying the width by the height. Our comparison tool automatically calculates this for you based on the diagonal size and aspect ratio.

Why do screens with the same diagonal size look different?

Screens with different aspect ratios will have different widths and heights even with the same diagonal measurement. For example, a 27" 16:9 monitor is wider but shorter than a 27" 4:3 monitor.

What is aspect ratio and why does it matter?

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between a screen's width and height (width:height). Common ratios include 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3 (traditional), and 21:9 (ultrawide). It matters because it affects how content is displayed and the overall viewing experience.
