How to Measure Computer Screen

Measure your computer screen:

Firstly, you may get the measuring tape, then you may start taking the measurements from the left corner to the right corner of the screen, going diagonally from one side to the other- top to bottom. This will give you the results in inches and allow you to know the size of the display. However, you may ensure that you only measure the glass part and leave out the bezel which is the plastic covering around the screen.

This is the one and only way to measure the physical screen manually. Other ways may include googling your device’s model number or going through the website from where you bought the laptop from. A copy of the manual also comes with a newly bought computer that states all the specifications of the machine. So, you could also get the details like the display/screen size or the screen resolution in that booklet.
