You are seated on your sofa, watching the last over of an IPL match. The bowler then runs into the batsman who takes a wide swing and the ball moves towards the boundary. Now picture yourself seeing that moment on a screen that’s like having a front row seat in the stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what an extended TV can provide to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when deciding on a 55 vs 65 inch TV<\/a>, it doesn’t necessarily mean the bigger the TV, the better. The TV is a larger 65\u2033 screen, but will you have enough room from which to watch it? Will it fit on the wall? But does the additional investment pay off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These questions are more important than the screen size on the box for Indian households looking to improve their entertainment system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s determine which TV to put in the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Times Larger Is a 65\u2033 TV Than a 55\u2033 TV?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ten inches doesn’t seem like a long distance. Those extra inches, however, do make a difference on a television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the TV is determined by the diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner. They do not refer to the width of the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a standard 16:9 display:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurement<\/strong><\/td>55-Inch TV<\/strong><\/td>65-Inch TV<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Screen diagonal<\/td>139.7 cm<\/td>165.1 cm<\/td><\/tr>
Approximate screen width<\/td>121.8 cm<\/td>143.9 cm<\/td><\/tr>
Approximate screen height<\/td>68.5 cm<\/td>80.9 cm<\/td><\/tr>
Relative screen area<\/td>100%<\/td>140%<\/td><\/tr>
Typical suitability<\/td>Small to medium size living rooms<\/td>Medium to large sized living rooms<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The key number in this instance is 40% more screen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the TVs have the same aspect ratio, a 65″ TV provides about 40% more viewing area than a 55\u201d TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That extra room is more noticeable when watching movies, sports or playing games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But larger screens take up more space, too. An impressive looking TV<\/a> in the showroom can be more imposing in a smaller living space once it’s installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Best Viewing Distance for a 55 vs 65 Inch TV?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Measure the distance from the sofa to the TV before you compare the technology or smart features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the length of the whole of the room. The actual distance from your usual seating position to the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are helpful points to take off the ground if you are using a modern 4K TV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TV Size<\/strong><\/td>Approximate Viewing Distance<\/strong><\/td>Viewing Experience<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
55 inches<\/td>1.7\u20132.3 metres<\/td>Comfortable everyday viewing<\/td><\/tr>
65 inches<\/td>2.0\u20132.7 metres<\/td>More immersive viewing<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suggested guidance and not rules. The optimum distance is also determined by personal comfort, eyesight, content resolution and viewing preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At What Point Does a 55″ TV Become More of a Necessity Than a Luxury?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Imagine that your sofa is 1.8 metres away from the entertainment wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a 55-inch TV screen will give you a large screen without you feeling overwhelmed. You can watch movies, news channels and follow subtitles without having to keep changing your gaze on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 55″ option may be a good fit for a family that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
