How this is worked out

The diagonal is found with Pythagoras from the width and height, then converted to inches at 2.54 cm per inch.

Worked example

  • 120 cm wide
  • 68 cm high

√(120² + 68²) = 137.9 cm, ÷ 2.54

A diagonal of 137.9 cm, or 54.3 inches

Assumptions and limits

  • Measure the visible screen area only. Including the bezel or stand overstates the size.
  • Advertised screen sizes are usually rounded, so a set sold as 55 inch may measure a little under.
  • Says nothing about resolution or picture quality.
