100″ TV = 87.2″ × 49″

A 100-inch TV has a screen about 87.2 inches wide and 49 inches tall (221.4 × 124.5 cm).

Step by step

  1. For 16:9, width = diagonal × 16 ÷ √(16² + 9²) = 100 × 0.8716 = 87.16 in.
  2. Height = diagonal × 9 ÷ √337 = 100 × 0.4903 = 49.03 in.
  3. Add about 1–3 inches each way for the frame and stand.

100-inch TVs suit large living rooms and home theaters; check that it fits wall space and doorways, and that the stand or mount is rated for its weight. A 100″ screen has 331% of the area of a 55″ TV.

How it works

TV sizes are the diagonal of the visible screen, not the width. Because almost all TVs are 16:9, width and height follow directly from the diagonal. Screen area grows with the square of the size, so a 75-inch TV has nearly twice the picture of a 55-inch. Manufacturers list exact dimensions with and without the stand — check them before buying furniture or a wall mount.
