Use inside dimensions where possible. The result is a planning heuristic for comparing product listings, not a guarantee.

Stand width status / Estimated TV width / Viewing distance note Enter measurements to see a planning result.

Assumptions

  • TV width is estimated from a 16:9 screen when exact width is missing.
  • Eye-line and mounting height are not checked.

Measurement checklist

  • Screen overhang
  • Cable access
  • Swivel clearance
  • Eye-line height
  • Outlet location

Quick questions

Can the TV be wider than the stand?

It can physically overhang, but this tool marks that as risky because it can look unstable and reduce side clearance.

Does this check TV height?

No. It only checks width and viewing distance; eye-line and stand height still need separate judgment.

Planning aid, not a guarantee

Use the result as a conservative starting point. Product pages, manufacturer diagrams, cabinet hardware, cords, vents, valves, return policies, and your room layout still matter before buying.
