Step 1 - Model Number and Screen Area Dimensions

Refer to the data sheet, or on-line specification for your monitor´s manufacturer and model number and look for the "Active Screen Area" or "Actual Viewable Area".

Below is an example for the NEC V421 42"" monitor::

Monitor Specification

Step 2 - PQ Labs Dimensions

Refer to the chart below and look for the closest frame size width and height. You may not find a frame of exactly the same size, in which case select a frame that is slightly larger than your monitor dimensions, for example:

Step 3 - PQ Labs Part Number

Make a note of the Part No.; in this case it´s PQ-O-42-6 or PQ-O-42-32:
