Measure the perimeter of your screen, and round up to the nearest meter.

Yes, what @Mrjohns42 said (thanks, by the way): Just measure the perimeter of your screen, and be aware that the strip can be cut up about every 5cm (you will probably need to cut it into 4 pieces and solder small cables between them in order to fit it around your screen bezel – there are solder pads at every cutting location, including pin labels on the silkscreen, so this is very easy to do).
