The size of an LED monitor is measured diagonally across the screen's viewable area, from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner.
Here's a breakdown of how to accurately measure your LED monitor:
- Use a Measuring Tool: Employ a standard measuring tape or ruler.
- Positioning: Place the end of the measuring tool at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
- Extend Diagonally: Extend the measuring tape diagonally across the screen to the top-right corner. Do not include the bezel (the frame surrounding the screen) in your measurement.
- Read the Measurement: The measurement in inches represents the monitor's size.
Important Considerations:
- Viewable Area Only: Ensure you're measuring only the active display area of the screen and not the bezel. Monitor size specifications always refer to the viewable area.
- Inches are Standard: Monitor sizes are almost universally expressed in inches.
- Accuracy is Key: Take your time and ensure the measuring tape is straight for an accurate reading.
For example, if the diagonal measurement from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner of your LED monitor's viewable area is 27 inches, you have a 27-inch monitor.
