Hello, how do you say "5m x 4m" in English?

Plus, how can I say in a sentence using this expression? ; large screen (5mx4m) 

e.g. A large screen is 5mx4m. 

Please let me know if this sentence is correct and how to say 5mx4m.


Thanks!

In the United States, the dimensions of a screen are customarily given in this order:   width first, then height.   However, you may deal with a person or company which uses the opposite system:  height first, then width.  So unless you know that both you and the other party use the same system, it would be prudent to clarify the matter by saying it the way CG Fleissner did:  5 meters wide by 4 meters high.

or an alternative is "five meters wide by/and four meters tall/high" 

Lawrence's comment is definitely the best, quick and easy way to say it though
