55 vs 70 Inch TV Comparison Tool

[00:00:00] If you're debating between a 55 in and a 70in TV, that 15-in jump, that can have big implications. I'm Dr. B. I create content and tools to help you with the TV buying process. In the next 90 seconds, we're going to visualize that jump from 55 in to 70 in and discuss a bit of a problem you might not know [00:00:21] about 70-in TVs. Let's go. So, first the visuals. Here's a standard 55-in screen and here's a 70-in screen. And when we overlay them, watch this. You can see that moving up to a 70-in TV gives you 62% more viewing area than the 55 in. That is a huge difference, and that [00:00:42] really matters when you're trying to decide which TV actually makes sense for your space. And hey, if this calculator is helping you decide which TV is best for you, or you're still trying to decide, feel free to subscribe. So, now let's talk logistics. This is where people get caught. That 15-in increase means more weight and more bulk. So, you [00:01:02] may need larger furniture, stronger wall mount, or more wall space than you expect. The box itself, it's also larger, so it's worth checking to see if it'll actually fit in your car for that trip home. One thing to watch out for, 70-in TVs typically tend to be entry-level TVs in that they don't have a lot of the features that you might find in other TVs. So, be really [00:01:24] careful. You might be getting a larger TV for what seems a really good price, but the features may be lacking. However, that extra screen area, that 62% more screen area compared to the 55-in TV, does create a much more cinematic immersive feel, especially for movies and gaming. That's important to you, maybe a 70in works. But I'd compare [00:01:45] the 55 to a 75 in first, though.
