Calculate W and H in monitor

[life24]

Hello,
Assume we have one monitor 15.6 with 16:9
Can we calculate width and height?

Yes.

x^2+y^2=15.6
16x=9y

Two equations and two variables so you can solve it.

If you're using it to try and figure the full monitor dimensions, just don't forget that this is screen size and won't include the bezels around the screen, so the actual monitor dimensions will be bigger than that by about one to two inches.

Double post.
God, I hate that "smart" post-editor. And it keeps resetting to "smart" every time I post or edit something. Please keep my setting: simple !

I like this webpage to compare size, height, length, ppi, resolutions, etc.

Diagonal: 15.6 inches (39.62cm)
Display size: 13.6" × 7.65" = 103.99in² (34.54cm × 19.43cm = 670.89cm²)

Why does it matter to have width/height of the screen itself, when you already have the diagonal and aspect ratio?

I think a more useful metric would be the height/width size of the entire display, including the bezels. Otherwise, it's just redundant information to want to know the height/width of just the screen when you already have a feel for it based on the existing information.

But other missing information that is even more important: the pixel count - usually given in width x height in number of pixels.
