Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly by international agreement — no rounding.
Screen sizes are always diagonal, never width. A 27-inch monitor is about 60 cm wide.
To convert cm to inches mentally, divide by 2.5 and subtract 1.6%.

Avoid these

Reading a screen size as width. A 65-inch TV is about 143 cm wide — the 165 cm figure is diagonal.
Using 2.5 instead of 2.54 on precision drawings — the 1.6% error matters in manufacturing.
Confusing inches of length with inches of mercury (inHg) — a pressure unit, not length.
