Further complicating this is that the screen is curved.

So... they'd have to take a tailors tape, from one diagonal to another, also pressing it into the screen, being careful not to damage it.

Either that or take a width heght and depth measurent and do a bit of trig.

Yeah, measuring the arc of the curved width using the width and sagitta is a little tricky, too, but totally doable with trig.

The wiki main image suggests to me, a mere math casual, that you might even need one more piece of information than just s and l?
