Choose a size for its area, pixel density, visual comparison, and the exact proportions used. Measurements are estimates for the visible panel, excluding the bezel and stand.
How to compare this format
Compare height first if you want a familiar text or image size, then width for extra workspace. A larger diagonal can mostly add width. Available desktop workspace also depends on resolution and software scaling.
For curved models, verify the manufacturer's straight-line width and complete desk footprint. The calculations describe flat-equivalent panel geometry.
