How to Measure Your TV for a Screen Protector
Whether you're protecting your TV from kids, pets, or accidental impacts, choosing the right size screen protector is crucial. A poorly fitted protector won’t shield your TV properly and may even cause display issues. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to measure your TV for a screen protector the right way — so you can shop with confidence.
Why Accurate Measurement Matters
Before diving in, it’s important to understand that TV screen sizes are advertised based on diagonal measurements, but screen protectors typically require exact width, height, and sometimes depth to ensure a snug fit.
Tools You’ll Need:
-
A measuring tape
-
A notepad or your phone to jot down the numbers
-
A flat surface for accuracy
Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your TV
1. Turn Off and Clean Your Screen
Make sure your TV is off and the screen is free of dust and fingerprints. This helps you see the true edges of the screen.
2. Measure the Width
Measure edge-to-edge across the front of the screen. Record this in inches or centimeters.
3. Measure the Height
Next, measure from the bottom edge to the top edge of the screen, excluding the stand.
4. Note the Model Number
For best accuracy, record your TV’s brand and model number. This helps you match it with compatible screen protector models.
Example:
Let’s say you have a 55-inch Samsung TV. You might find that the actual screen width is 122cm and the height is 73cm. You’ll need a screen protector that fits those dimensions exactly, not just one labeled for “55 inches.”
Tips for Buying the Right Protector
✅ Always compare your measurements to the product specs.
✅ Don’t rely only on advertised screen size — verify your actual measurements.
✅ If in doubt, contact the seller or manufacturer with your TV’s make and model.
