To measure a TV, the most common and important measurement is the screen size, which is the diagonal length from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner. This measurement excludes the bezel (frame) around the screen and is usually expressed in inches. Here is a concise step-by-step guide to measuring a TV screen:
- Use a tape measure or ruler.
- Measure diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the actual screen (not the bezel).
- Record the measurement in inches; this number is the TV screen size, which is how TVs are typically marketed.
- For additional dimensions, measure the horizontal width from left edge to right edge of the screen.
- Measure the vertical height from the top edge to the bottom edge of the screen.
- If needed, also measure the depth (thickness) of the TV from the front of the screen to the back of the TV.
- If considering the overall space for the TV, include bezel and stand in the measurements.
This method ensures you get accurate dimensions to fit your TV in your space and understand its size correctly for purchase or placement considerations.
