How big are ultra-big TVs?

What are the benefits of large-screen TVs?
Super-slim and optimised for wall mounting, huge TVs can still hang flush against the wall to maximise space and watchable surface area.
Different types of ultra-big TVs
LG offers a range of ultra-big TV models with features to suit different needs and budgets.
OLED evo
Our massive 97 inch OLED AI G4 features the latest alpha 11 AI processor – the only dedicated OLED chipset combining deep learning, superior graphics and improved speed.2

Which ultra-big TV is best for you?
How to choose the perfect big TV size for your space
There are two key elements you need to consider when choosing your ultra-big TV:
- The screen size refers to the measurement of the actual screen from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner. However, the product dimensions will be bigger, so always check before ordering and carefully measure your space.
- The recommended minimum viewing distance for a 4K television is 1.2 times the screen size, so for a 98-inch TV, you’ll need to sit 3 metres (or 117 inches) away.12
By checking these measurements in advance, you can avoid any headaches with your new kit.
Ultra big screen TVs vs 4K projectors
You might be wondering how ultra-big TVs compare to 4K projectors, which were the previous gold standard for big-screen viewing.13
In recent times, TVs have been evolving in both size and performance while becoming accessible to a wider audience.
Projectors sometimes struggle with HDR video and lack the level of contrast needed to operate in brighter rooms, meaning that even the brightest, most advanced projectors, such as the LG HU715QW, can’t always compete with the latest large LG TVs.14
But there are still reasons why people will opt for one over the other:
How OLED evo TVs are designed for the future
Our OLED evo range represents an evolution not just in terms of screen size and performance but also in sustainable design — from manufacturing right through to disposal.15
Our sustainability efforts have been recognised with certifications, including Reducing CO2 and Measured CO2 from the Carbon Trust.16
FAQs

A: A 65-inch TV, like our 65 inch LG OLED evo G4, measures 1441 mm (W) x 826 mm (H) x 24.3 mm (D).17
Q: Are big TVs suitable for smaller rooms?
A: As long as you can provide the recommended viewing distance, there’s no reason why you can’t transform your smaller room into an immersive home theatre.18

A: Some TVs can impact viewing comfort and cause eye strain,19 but the LG OLED range features Low Blue Light Display, Flicker Free, and Discomfort Glare Free for comfortable viewing.20
