Understanding Screen Size

Screen size refers to the diagonal measurement of a display, measured in inches from one corner to the opposite corner. This measurement doesn't include the bezel or frame around the screen. Understanding your screen size is essential for choosing the right laptop bag, screen protector, or external monitor. Our tool uses a reference object (credit card) with known dimensions to calculate your screen's pixel density (PPI), which then allows us to determine the physical size of your display.
