How is a 55 inch TV measured?

The screen size of a TV is measured diagonally from one corner of the panel to the opposite corner. This does not include the bezels or any other outside surface of the TV. Many models in a particular sizing category — such as 55 inches, 65 inches, etc., — are not strictly the size in which they are labeled.

How do you determine what size TV you need?

While it all boils down to personal preference, there is a simple formula that works as a size calculator that provides a good starting point: Viewing distance (in inches)/2 = recommended TV size. For example, if you usually sit 10 feet from the TV, that’s 120 inches (10 feet x 12 inches).
