Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Diagonal isn't width

People often confuse diagonal with width. A 65" TV is 56.7" wide, not 65" wide. Always check actual dimensions.

❌ Stand adds height

Add 3-6 inches for the TV stand when measuring if it will fit in your entertainment center.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to measure a TV?

Corner to corner diagonally (screen only, not bezel). Manufacturers measure screen diagonal.

Ultrawide vs standard?

34" 21:9 ultrawide is wider (31.5") than a 32" 16:9 (27.9") but same height. Great for productivity.

Wall mount vs stand?

Wall mount saves desk/floor space. Measure VESA pattern (75×75 or 100×100 common) for mount compatibility.
