Wondering - what can be measured by the diagonal of the monitor? This parameter is specified only in inches. This length unit. Undoubtedly, much easier it would be to determine the size in centimeters, it is so clear and familiar, but there it is. You'll be able to translate the value in a convenient unit of measure. If you move one inch to centimeters, you get the value of 2.54.
REFERENCE. Denotes the magnitude of an inch this way - ".
Most often there are the following options screens:
- When it comes to the computer screen - it's 17 ", 19", 21 "and 23".
- In television the following dimensions are common: 32 ", 43", 49 ", 50" and 55 "and 65".
- Monitors laptop manufacturers produce such parameters: 13.3 ", 15.6, 17", 19 ".
NOTE. There is a bad marketing move for the buyer when the label indicates a parameter value, and near the small print be amended downwards.
How to determine diagonal monitor
Often, a user does not know what the diagonal of its technology. There are ways that allow us to determine this parameter. Let us examine them.
-
We use the materials at hand. The most simple method - is to use a ruler and a calculator. Instead, you can take a ruler meter tape measure or other measuring device that you have. To measure, place a ruler on opposite corners of the monitor. The resulting number is divided by 2.54. That is, if you turned out 81.28 cm diagonal is 32 ". Measure is necessary to precisely monitor, black bezel around the perimeter is not considered.
ATTENTION. Be careful taking measurements to prevent damage to the monitor, do not scratch it.
- We use special programs. Determine the parameter you are interested in you can use the capabilities of diagnostic programs. It is AIDA64, SiSoft, Sandra. In the program, go to the tab "display" or similar, depending on the program. There's a line to be displayed "Monitor". In front of her and is specified diagonally.
REFERENCE. The program shows the value of your own database. You need to update.
