TV and monitor screen size, height and width depend on the diagonal

You decide to buy a new TV and do not know what size suits you. Or you can’t imagine the size of a 65-inch TV. Use our screen TV size chart to find all TV sizes from 19″ to 105″. The dimensions of TVs are shown in inches and centimeters for your convenience. If you’re wondering what size TV you need based on room size and viewing distance, you can read the article “TV Size to Distance Calculator and choose TV size“. I told you how to choose the right TV size in this article.

General information about TV size

When purchasing a TV, it is essential to consider the TV and screen sizes. While the screen is the main component of a modern TV, the overall size of the TV is also crucial for comfortable viewing, placement, and shipping options. For example, TVs with a screen size larger than 65 inches may require transportation in a van and must be transported in a standing position to avoid damage.

When considering the screen size is measured diagonally from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner, excluding the bezel. This measurement is always in inches, such as 32, 40, 55, or 65 inches.

The aspect ratio of most modern TVs is 16:9, which is the standard for widescreen videos. The overall dimensions of a TV include the screen size, bezel, and any additional design elements. These dimensions are essential for determining whether the TV suits a particular room. Typically, the dimensions are listed as width x height x depth.

The depth of the TV is not significant if you plan to mount it on the wall. Various wall mounts are available, such as swivel or ceiling mounts. Some TVs, like Samsung, can be wall-mounted using a unique mount that allows them to be close to the wall. However, the depth becomes essential if you place the TV in a niche. It is crucial to provide proper ventilation for the TV to prevent overheating, as the screen and electronic components generate heat during operation. Overheating poses a safety hazard and significantly reduces the display’s lifespan, especially OLED displays. As a result, OLED displays often have a foil heat-dissipating layer on the back panel to counteract overheating.

Curved monitor sizes 16×9, 21×9, 32×9

Curved monitors are standard in the market, unlike curved TVs, which are a thing of the past, having proven inefficient, mainly because they cannot be hung on the wall. Sure, you can hang them, but the edges of such a TV are very far from the wall, making such placement impractical. However, curved screens are still being manufactured.

The size of curved monitors is usually measured in the same way as traditional flat-panel TVs – by the screen’s diagonal from one corner to the other. However, there are a few additional considerations when choosing curved monitors:

  • Bend radius: Curved monitors are characterized by their bend radius, usually measured in millimeters (e.g., 1000R, 1800R). The smaller the number, the tighter the curve. A monitor with a 1000R radius will have a more pronounced curve than one with an 1800R radius.
  • Aspect Ratio: Many curved monitors have an extended aspect ratio, such as 21:9 or even 32:9, as opposed to the traditional 16:9. This provides a broader field of view and is popular with gamers and professionals who work with video and graphics.

Because of the curvature, the width of such a monitor is less than that of a flat monitor, but the depth is much greater as it is increased by the curvature, and this should be taken into account when planning to buy a monitor

Dimensions of a 32 and 55-inch monitor with 1000R curvature, Aspect Ratio 16:9

You can find 32-inch and 55-inch monitors with a 16×9 aspect ratio – they have the same aspect ratio as TVs.

The dimensions of a 34-inch curved monitor with an aspect ratio of 21×9. The width of such a monitor is more than twice the height. The purpose of such monitors is for work. If you need to work with a split screen, it is very convenient, and undoubtedly, it is for games that support this aspect ratio.

Dimensions of Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio TVs

To present the sizes of TVs not only by screen diagonal, I decided to collect information about the actual sizes of TVs, taking into account the frame around the screen. Here is a table of sizes of the most popular brands: LG, Samsung, Sony, and Vizio. The dimensions are given with the frame around the screen but without the stand. The measurements are 99% accurate. If the width or height of the TV is important to you, refer to the dimensions of the specific TV model. I used the TV models listed on the manufacturers’ websites to gather the information; these are the 2022 models.

TVs of different sizes in comparison 

I decided to present the size of a TV and compare it to something familiar. To make it more straightforward for you, in the picture below, I have shown how big your TV will be compared to a Ford F-150. Most buyers choose the most common TV sizes – 55, 65, 75, and 85 inches. If you’re still in doubt about which TV to buy and want to understand the exact size of your future device, take a tape measure and draw a square on an empty wall according to the dimensions you’ll find in our article so you can visualize the size of your TV even better. Alternatively, you can go to a store and look at the TVs in the showroom.

Actual length and width dimensions of your TV set

The actual size of your TV may differ slightly from the calculated screen diagonal, either up or down. The thing is that screen manufacturers make screens precisely differently than those advertised on their websites. For example, a 55-inch screen maybe 54.7 inches or 55.3 inches. It all depends on the display manufacturer and the manufacturing technology. The newer the factory, the smaller the bezel around the display. OLED displays have the fewest bezels because they don’t have bezels – they’re just glued to the base.
So, when choosing a TV or monitor, keep in mind that the actual size of the TV will be 0.5-1.5 inches (1-4 cm) larger because of the bezel that holds the screen in place. The cheaper the TV, the larger the bezel around the screen. The diagonal size is rounded up to a whole number for user convenience. Some manufacturers do not do this so that you may find a monitor with a screen size of 48.8 inches instead of 49 inches.

TV size in cm, How to convert inches to centimeters

One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. For example, the diagonal of a 7-inch TV is 7×2.54=17.78 centimeters. But for the sake of simplicity, I have created a table that already has the data for converting inches to centimeters. Information in tabular form is more convenient for perception. The table shows all sizes in inches from 19 to 120 inches; using the table, you can easily convert the diagonal size of the display from inches to centimeters and use this table to convert other sizes from inches to centimeters.

What size TV will fit in your car?

Determining what size TV will fit in your car before purchasing is essential to avoid inconvenience. Here’s a summary of options based on the type of vehicle, keeping in mind the manufacturers’ recommendation to transport TVs upright:

  • Small Sedan: Suitable for TVs up to about 42 inches. The interior space of a small sedan may accommodate these sizes, especially if the TV is slim.
  • Larger Sedan: Can typically fit a TV up to 50 inches in the passenger compartment. If the rear seats fold down, you can transport a TV up to 60-65 inches in the trunk, depending on the model.
  • Crossover: Similar to larger sedans, a crossover vehicle can generally accommodate a TV up to 60 inches, considering the interior space and trunk.
  • Pickup Truck: It is ideal for huge TVs, even up to 85 inches. The size of the TV you can transport depends on the dimensions of the pickup’s cargo area. Secure the TV well to prevent movement and potential damage.
  • Van: Vans are the most suitable for transporting huge TVs, as they offer the ability to transport the TV upright and provide ample space.
  • Transporting a TV Lying Down: While not recommended, you can transport a TV lying down if necessary. Ensure the screen is facing upwards and there are no sharp objects underneath that might damage the screen.
  • Measurements and Precautions: Always measure your vehicle’s interior space or trunk and compare it with the TV’s box dimensions (more significant than the TV due to packaging). Each car model may have different dimensions, so checking your specific vehicle’s capacity is essential.

TV Screen Dimensions in the picture, visualization

In this figure, I have tried to show the TV’s size if compared to a standard A4 sheet of paper, although it is partially incorrect to compare a large TV in this way. I’ve made a color image and given the width and height of the screen in centimeters; if you’re interested in inches, refer to the table above. Of course, the picture only reflects some available TV sizes.

  1. Do these charts include in the height the stand or just screen size? If just screen size on average what would i include for stand?

  2. My TV needs to sit on a stand and a swivel plate, this takes 3 inches. My opening is 45 x 28. Therefore, the TV can be 45 x 25. Do your chart dimensions include the frame?

    • The table shows only the screen size, the screen frame can range from 0.3 to 1 inch, depending on the model and manufacturer of the TV.

    • Why on earth would they include the frame? Different TVs have different frame sizes. The measurements are of the screens themselves. No one can guess the thickness of your frame.

      • This is quite conventional, part of the screen is still outside the frame. In addition, display manufacturers round up the diagonal (according to mathematical rules). For example, a 50-inch screen may have a real diagonal size of 49.5 inches or 50.4, depending on the display factory.

  3. I have a recess measuring 117cm wide x 82 cm height x 24.5 deep. I would like to get a 55 in. Television. What is the best way to do this so it looks ok

    • Buy a smaller TV. You can’t just pick and choose the height and width to total 55″. 55″ will be too wide for the recess, as per the above diagram and illustration.
