Why Compare Screen Sizes?

Diagonal vs Actual Size

Screen diagonal measurements can be misleading. A 6.7" phone with 19.5:9 aspect ratio has less screen area than a 6.5" phone with 16:9 ratio.

Make Informed Decisions

Before upgrading your phone, buying a new TV, or choosing a monitor, see exactly how much bigger the new screen will be.

Visual Comparison

Numbers alone don't tell the full story. Our visual overlay shows screens at true-to-scale proportions.

Detailed Specifications

Beyond size, compare resolution, pixel density (PPI), aspect ratio, and physical dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I compare devices from different categories?
You can compare devices within the same category (phone vs phone, TV vs TV) and also TVs with projectors. Cross-category comparisons like phone vs TV are not supported as they serve different use cases.
How is screen area calculated?
Screen area is calculated using the diagonal measurement and aspect ratio. We use the formula: width Γ— height, where dimensions are derived from the diagonal and ratio using the Pythagorean theorem.
What does the "Fit Ratio" mean?
The fit ratio shows how many of the smaller screen would fit inside the larger one. For example, a 2.0x fit ratio means the larger screen has twice the area of the smaller one.
Is the visual comparison to scale?
Yes, the visual comparison maintains accurate proportions between the two devices. While the absolute size on your screen depends on your display, the relative sizes are always accurate.
Why does a larger diagonal not always mean more screen area?
Screen area depends on both diagonal size and aspect ratio. A 6.7-inch phone with a 19.5:9 ratio has less area than a 6.5-inch phone with 16:9 ratio because the narrower aspect ratio reduces total surface area despite the larger diagonal.
How do I decide between a 55-inch and 65-inch TV?
Consider your viewing distance and room size. A 65-inch TV has about 40% more screen area than a 55-inch. For optimal viewing, sit 6-8 feet from a 55-inch or 8-10 feet from a 65-inch TV. Use our comparison tool to visualize the actual size difference.
What's the difference between PPI and screen size?
Screen size (diagonal) measures physical dimensions, while PPI (pixels per inch) measures pixel density. A smaller phone can have higher PPI than a large TV. Higher PPI means sharper images at close viewing distances, which matters more for phones than TVs.
Can I share my comparison results?
Yes! When you select two devices, the URL updates automatically with your comparison. Simply copy the URL from your browser's address bar to share the exact comparison with others.
How accurate is the device data?
Our database includes official specifications from manufacturers for screen diagonal, resolution, and aspect ratio. We regularly update the database with new device releases to ensure accuracy.
Why compare screen sizes before buying?
Diagonal measurements can be misleading. Two screens with the same diagonal but different aspect ratios have different areas. Visual comparison helps you understand the actual size difference, especially when upgrading phones or choosing between TV sizes.
