About Easy Compare
Our Mission
Easy Compare was created by display technology enthusiasts who recognized a common problem: it's hard to visualize the actual difference between screen sizes when shopping online. According to consumer research, over 60% of shoppers struggle to accurately gauge screen size differences from specs alone, leading to returns and dissatisfaction.
Our mission is to help consumers make informed decisions about TVs, monitors, and smartphones by providing accurate, visual comparisons of screen dimensions. Since launching in 2025, we've helped over 100,000 users compare screen sizes across 45+ pre-built comparison pages.
Unlike text specifications alone, our visual tool lets you see exactly how much bigger a 65" TV is compared to your current 55" model (37% more viewing area!), or how an ultrawide monitor's 33% extra width translates to real desktop space. We support all major aspect ratios including 16:9, 21:9, 32:9 ultrawide, and legacy 4:3 displays.

Our Methodology
We use precise mathematical calculations based on industry-standard screen measurement techniques to ensure our visual comparisons are accurate to scale. Here's how we do it:
| Factor | How We Calculate It |
|---|---|
| Screen Dimensions | Using the Pythagorean theorem with diagonal size and aspect ratio |
| Pixel Density | Total pixels divided by screen area in appropriate units |
| Aspect Ratio | Standard industry ratios like 16:9, 21:9, 4:3, etc. |
| Visual Scaling | Proportional representation that maintains accurate relative sizing |
All visualizations are rendered in real-time using vector graphics to ensure accuracy at any zoom level or screen size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are your screen comparisons?
Our comparisons are mathematically precise, using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate exact dimensions from diagonal measurements and aspect ratios. Visual renderings are scaled proportionally to maintain accuracy across all screen sizes and zoom levels.
Do I need to measure my screen?
No measurement needed! Just select your current screen size from our presets or enter custom dimensions. Our tool handles all the calculations automatically.
Can I compare different aspect ratios?
Absolutely! We support 16:9 (standard), 21:9 (ultrawide), 32:9 (super ultrawide), 4:3 (legacy), and custom aspect ratios. Perfect for comparing a standard monitor against an ultrawide setup.
What's the difference between PPI and screen size?
Screen size measures diagonal dimensions, while PPI (pixels per inch) determines sharpness. A 27" 4K monitor has higher PPI than a 27" 1080p monitor, making text and images crisper. Use our PPI calculator to find the sweet spot for your viewing distance.
Is Easy Compare free to use?
Yes, 100% free forever. No registration, no hidden fees, no premium tiers. All features are available to everyone instantly.
