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.
