1) TV size (inches)

Use your TV’s diagonal size (e.g., “65-inch TV”).

2) Aspect ratio

16:9 is standard for most modern TVs.

3) Setup type

4) Extra width beyond TV

Wider than the TV makes the setup look more intentional.

Helpful if your console sits near a path of travel.

FAQ

Is it okay if the TV is wider than the console?

It can work in very tight spaces, but it often looks top-heavy and increases tip risk. If possible, choose a console wider than the TV or wall-mount the TV.

How tall should a TV stand be?

Ideally, the center of the screen should be near seated eye level. Many living rooms land around 18–26" console height, depending on sofa height and TV size.

What if my TV legs are very wide?

Measure the distance between the outer edges of the legs (leg span). Make sure your console top surface is wider than that span, or choose a center stand or wall mount.
