Stands on your furnitureFits

Your 160 × 40 cm top is 37.6 cm wider than the 122.4 cm TV and deep enough for its 21.8 cm stand.

Samsung: the TV must not overhang the edge of the furniture. Use the stand depth from the TV’s spec sheet. On a narrow top, Samsung’s QN80H feet can move in to 25 cm apart.

Viewing distanceFits

At 200 cm the 121.8 cm wide screen fills 33.9° of your view, within 30–58° (between 110 and 227 cm away).

A 55 in screen fills 30° from 2.27 m and 40° from 1.67 m (RTINGS); Samsung’s own figure is 1.7 m.

The wall mount fitsFits

The TV’s 300 × 200 mm VESA pattern is within the mount’s 400 × 400 mm, and its 13.2 kg is within the 35 kg rating.

Use the set’s weight without its feet: 13.2 kg for the QN80H.

Not quite: 55 in is the class. Samsung gives its QN80H a measured diagonal of 54.6 in (138 cm).

What size TV stand for a 55-inch TV?

One wider than the TV, so it does not overhang the edge (Samsung, IKEA), and deep enough for the stand: 21.8 cm for Samsung’s QN80H, 28.7 cm for Hisense’s U78QG. The QN80H’s feet go 103.46 cm apart, or 25 cm apart near the centre for a narrower top.

About 1.67–2.27 m for the screen to fill 30–40° of your view (RTINGS); Samsung says 1.7 m, or 1.4 m for 4K, and TCL 7–11.5 ft.

What VESA pattern does a 55-inch TV use?

It varies by model: 300 × 200 mm on Samsung’s QN80H and LG’s C6, 300 × 300 mm on Sony, TCL, Panasonic and Xiaomi, and 200 × 300 mm on Philips’ PUS9000.

From 9.6 kg (Panasonic W70) to 18.4 kg (Sony BRAVIA 7 II) without the stand; boxed, Samsung’s QN80H is 18.1 kg in a 135.2 × 80.8 × 12.7 cm carton.

Is a 55-inch TV too big for a living room?

LG UK calls it a good starting point for a living room. Measure the seat: at 2.27 m the screen fills 30° of your view, at 1.67 m 40°.

For TV and display suppliers

Buyers of 55-inch sets ask the size with and without the stand, where the feet go, the VESA pattern, the weight and the carton size for container loading. Mark the real sizes on your own product photo in SizeMarker, as in the picture at the top, and send one product card for WhatsApp or WeChat.
