50-Inch TV Size in Different Units

Why “50 Inch” Is Not the Width

The number is the diagonal. For a 16:9 screen the width is about 0.872 times the diagonal and the height about 0.490 times it, so a 50-inch screen is 43.6 in wide. Plan furniture around that width plus a few centimetres for the bezel and rear cables.

Common Mistakes When Sizing a 50-Inch TV

1. Expecting a 50-inch-wide TV. It is about 44 inches wide.
2. Buying too small a console. A stand at least 1000 mm wide keeps the feet supported.
3. Ignoring stand depth. Feet add 200 – 280 mm of forward depth.
4. Measuring the retail box. It is 100 – 150 mm larger on each side.
5. Assuming 50 and 55 inch are interchangeable in a recess. The 55 is 111 mm wider.
