To measure the size of a TV, you need to measure the diagonal length of the visible screen only, not including the outer frame or bezel. Use a tape measure or ruler and measure from one upper corner of the screen diagonally to the opposite lower corner. The measurement you get in inches is the size of the TV screen. Additional tips:
- The size is usually given in inches.
- If you have the TV’s user manual or model number, you can also find the size information there.
- For fitting purposes, you may also want to measure the width, height, and depth of the space where you plan to place or mount the TV.
This diagonal measurement method is the most common and accurate way to determine TV size for purchasing or space planning.
