50 Inch TV Dimensions: Width, Height & Viewing Distance
50″ TV = 43.6″ × 24.5″
A 50-inch TV has a screen about 43.6 inches wide and 24.5 inches tall (110.7 × 62.3 cm).
Step by step
- For 16:9, width = diagonal × 16 ÷ √(16² + 9²) = 50 × 0.8716 = 43.58 in.
- Height = diagonal × 9 ÷ √337 = 50 × 0.4903 = 24.52 in.
- Add about 1–3 inches each way for the frame and stand.
50-inch TVs are a common choice for bedrooms and smaller living rooms. A 50″ screen has 83% 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.
