2) How to Measure a Laptop Screen in Inches
The Second method will clear your question, like what size is my computer screen? And what is my screen size inches?
This method is accurate, and you can use a measuring tape or a ruler, but I would prefer measuring tape as it will not scratch your screen.
Like monitors, laptop screens are measured by taking the diagonal length from the upper right corner to the lower left corner(or from the upper left corner to the lower right corner).
But keep in mind that doesn’t include the bezel in measurement. The diagonal size of the laptop is usually between 11 to 17 inches.
But If you want to buy screen protection or any privacy product for your laptop, you have to include the bezel in the measurement.
First measure the width as it comes write it on paper and then height with tape such as 16×9 inches.
