Diagonal + aspect ratio → width, height, area, and how much larger screen B is than A.
Use this when you are choosing between two sizes, checking if a bigger TV fits your furniture, or asking how much bigger one model really is. Numbers describe the glowing panel only—not the bezel. After you read the summary, you can open the main canvas to place phones or paper in the same scene.

Use the same unit for both TVs. Measure the lit glass corner to corner—the length shops print as the screen size.
Visible area (approx.): 48" × 27"
Visible area (approx.): 56.7" × 31.9"
Display B has 39.7% larger viewable area than Display A (panel only, excludes bezel).
Change in listed diagonal (B vs A): 18.2%. Positive means B is larger; negative means smaller.

Colours match the table columns above; overlapping outlines share the same bottom edge in this sketch.
| Metric | Display A | Display B |
|---|---|---|
| Diagonal (marketing) | 55" | 65" |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 | 16:9 |
| Width (viewable) | 48" | 56.7" |
| Height (viewable) | 27" | 31.9" |
| Area (viewable) | 1,292.58 in² (~833,922 mm²) | 1,805.34 in² (~1,164,734 mm²) |
| Rough viewing distance | 8–14 in | 10–16 in |
Viewing distance is a rough living-room range (≈1.5–2.5× diagonal length), not a substitute for THX/SMPTE or your room layout.
How screen B compares to screen A
Percent uses screen A as the baseline (100%). Positive numbers mean B is larger; negative mean B is smaller. The last column shows the gap in everyday units.
| Metric | Change (%) | Approx. gap |
|---|---|---|
| Listed diagonal | 18.2% | +10" |
| Viewable width | 18.1% | +8.7" |
| Viewable height | 18.1% | +4.9" |
| Viewable area | 39.7% | +512.76 in² |

Compare phone sizes too
Smartphones are measured as physical bodies (glass + frame). The inch number here is the panel diagonal only—still useful when you want to place a phone next to a TV outline on the main canvas.
Tip: when you share the homepage link, TV outlines stay easy to pick out.
