Display Size of common TVs and computer monitors - Diagonal

Description

On 2-D displays, such as computer monitors and TVs, the display size (or viewable image size or VIS) is the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners. It is also sometimes called the physical image size to distinguish it from the “logical image size,” which describes a screen’s display resolution and is measured in pixels.
