If the size of a certain TV screen is 34 inches, and the other two dimensions (length and width) are also integers (in inches), what is the perimeter of this TV screen in inches?

Note: size of a TV screen is described by the length of its diagonal in inches.

For the T.V of aspect ratio 15:8(assumed), The length is 30 inches and height is 16 inches (if only integer dimensions are allowed) for a T.V size of 34 inches.
(I couldn't come up with any other pythagoras triplet with 34.)
Therefore perimeter = 2*(16+30) = 92 inches.

Thanks for the query.

The below can be one solution.

16, 30 and 34 are Pythagorean triples, i.e.; 16^2 + 30^2 = 34^2
Hence, the sides of the TV are 16 inches and 30 inches respectively.

Therefore, the perimeter is 92 inches.

Do not know whether there are any other solutions.

I am a screen in your house.
I am probably bigger than your TV.
My resolution is infinite,
and you can't see pixels on me no matter how closely you look.
I am also equipped with glasses-free 3D.
I display what's in front of me,
but just try and find a front-facing camera on me.
What am I?
