TV Stand Size Guide

Use this guide to quickly estimate what TV stand size will work best for your TV and space. TVs are measured by diagonal screen size, while TV stands are selected by overall stand width and fit.

Tip: This chart assumes a standard 16:9 widescreen TV. Actual TV dimensions vary by brand/model, bezel thickness, and the type/position of the TV feet or base.

How to Choose the Right Size

1. Measure Your TV the Right Way

  • TV size (32", 65", 75", etc.) is measured diagonally across the screen.
  • TV width is what matters most for fit and aesthetics.
  • Most important: measure the distance between your TV's legs/feet (or center base width). This footprint determines what will safely sit on the stand.

2. Pick a Stand Width That Fits

  • Minimum fit: TV's base/feet should sit fully on top without overhang.
  • Balanced look: Many prefer a stand a few inches wider than the TV screen.
  • Wall-mounted TV: Choose based on room scale and storage needs—many pick a stand close to or wider than the TV for a "grounded" look.

3. Measure Your Room Space

  • Measure the wall width or floor space where the stand will go.
  • Check stand depth to ensure comfortable walking space.
  • If you use a soundbar or devices, confirm there's enough surface and shelf clearance.
