Deciding on the size of the television you will place in a certain area of a room depends on more than just screen size. In order to ensure a specific TV will fit in the space, you have available, it’s important to consider all the physical dimensions.

A TV’s screen size is not directly correlated to its width. Instead, the number is calculated based on the diagonal length.

Below, we’ll discuss everything you need to know regarding the actual sizes of different Sharp TV models. Read on before you buy!

Who Makes Sharp TVs?

Sharp is a Japanese manufacturing company. It was originally founded in 1912, and in 1956, it officially became known as The Sharp Corporation. Sharp TVs, also known as Sharp Aquos TVs, became available for retail purchase in 2001.

From 2015 to 2018, Sharp TVs were manufactured and sold by Hisense. Since 2016, the company has been owned by Foxconn, a Taiwanese consumer electronics company.

In 2018, Foxconn decided that they were not happy with the quality of the televisions being produced by Hisense under the Sharp name, and as a result, they regained their licensing and brand name in 2019. Since then, these televisions have been manufactured and sold by Sharp under Foxconn.

While Sharp was a very popular name in the TV game in the early 2000s, its popularity has stalled in recent years. For this reason and those listed above, their selection is no longer as plentiful as it once was.

How is TV Screen Size Calculated?

Many people are under the false impression that a television’s screen size directly correlates to the screen’s width. However, this is not actually the way that screen size is calculated.

Instead, a TV’s “screen size” refers to its diagonal length. This means that, in order to calculate the screen size, manufacturers measure from the upper left-hand corner of the screen to the lower right-hand corner of the screen. So, when deciding on the size of television you want to purchase for a space, it’s important to check the width and height in order to ensure it will fit.

Final Thoughts

If you’re not an expert in televisions, it could be difficult to understand exactly how Sharp calculates their advertised TV sizes. It’s essential to understand just how much space a certain television will take up in your home before you bring it home, as you need to make sure it will actually fit in the room it’s intended for.

Most Sharp televisions deviate slightly from the advertised size. However, the difference is usually only a few inches at most.
