Frequently asked questions

I'm buying a 56-inch TV—how much wall space do I need in feet?
A 56-inch measurement refers to the diagonal screen size, not the width. The actual width is typically around 48-50 inches depending on the bezel. However, if you're measuring a 56-inch wide object, that equals 4.667 feet, so you'd need roughly 4.7 feet of horizontal wall space plus a few inches on each side for mounting hardware.
Is 56 inches tall enough for a standard doorway or ceiling clearance?
No. Standard interior doorways are 80 inches tall (6.67 feet), and 56 inches (4.667 feet) is well below that. However, 56 inches is a typical countertop height or slightly above eye level for most people, making it useful as a measurement reference for furniture, shelving, or storage solutions.
