This tool is perfect for shoppers, interior designers, and tech enthusiasts who want precise measurements for the perfect viewing experience.

What Is a TV Diagonal?

The TV diagonal is the distance from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner. Manufacturers often advertise TVs by their diagonal size, but knowing the width and height helps you check whether the TV fits your space.

Example: A TV with a 16:9 aspect ratio that measures 48 inches wide and 27 inches high has a diagonal of: $\text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{48^2 + 27^2} = 55.05 \text{ inches}$ Diagonal=482+272=55.05 inches
