What this screen calculator does

This calculator uses the screen diagonal and aspect ratio entered by the user. It does not use branded specifications or invented device dimensions.

Example result

A 55-inch display in the selected ratio is approximately 47.94 inches wide and 26.96 inches tall, before bezels or casing.

Screen measurement formula

Screen size is diagonal. Width and height are calculated from the diagonal and the width-to-height ratio using right-triangle geometry.

Frequently asked questions

Does the result include the bezel?

No. The calculation estimates the visible display area, not the frame, casing, stand, or mount.

Is screen size measured diagonally?

Yes. Advertised screen size is normally the diagonal measurement.

Can two screens with the same diagonal have different widths?

Yes. Different aspect ratios produce different width and height values.
