How the calculation works
V12 calculation: diagonalByWidth=maxDeviceWidth×sqrt(aspectWidth^2+aspectHeight^2)/aspectWidth; diagonalByHeight=maxDeviceHeight×sqrt(aspectWidth^2+aspectHeight^2)/aspectHeight; maxScreenDiagonal=min(diagonalByWidth,diagonalByHeight). This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Maximum comfortable device width = 20 cm; Maximum comfortable device height = 28 cm; Tablet aspect width = 16; Tablet aspect height = 9. Result: Max Screen Diagonal = 22.95 cm; Diagonal By Height = 57.11 cm; Diagonal By Width = 22.95 cm.
