Is 55 inches the right size?
Screen size is largely personal preference – but in our experience very few customers wish they’d gone smaller, and plenty who choose a smaller screen later wish they’d gone bigger. If menus, the TV guide or subtitles are hard to read on your current TV, or you sit more than 3 metres away, it’s worth looking at a 65".
Bring your current screen size, the width of your TV unit or wall and your viewing distance to our showroom, and we’ll help you choose. TV size guide · 48" & 50" TVs · 65" TVs

55-inch TV FAQs
What viewing distance suits a 55-inch TV?
Roughly 2 to 3 metres – the distance in most UK living rooms. If you sit further back, a 65" will give a more immersive picture; closer than about 1.5 metres, a 48" or 50" may suit you better. Read our TV size guide.
How big is a 55-inch TV?
Most 55" TVs are about 1.22 to 1.25 metres wide and 70 to 72 cm tall, before the stand. Stands vary a lot – from a narrow central pedestal to feet near each end – so check the stand footprint on the TV’s page against your TV unit.
Which is the best 55-inch TV?
For the best picture, choose an OLED: the Samsung S95H and LG G6 are the brighter models, with anti-glare screens for a sunny room, while the Samsung S90H and LG C6 are superb all-rounders. The Samsung R85H Micro RGB gives vivid colour with high brightness, and the QN73H Neo QLED is a bright everyday 4K TV. Tell us about your room and we’ll help you choose.
Can a 55-inch TV be wall-mounted?
Yes. Our 55" TVs use standard VESA fixings – 300 × 200 mm on most models, 400 × 300 mm on the S95H and 200 × 200 mm on the QN73H – and each TV’s page shows the Vogel’s brackets that fit. Our own team can mount it, hide the cables and set everything up. Our installation service.
