The point of televisions isn’t to show long diagonal lines. it’s to show large areas of video, so the measurement we should consider is total screen area.
Yes. Yes. I realize the diagonal measurements and screen area correspond, but they don’t correspond nearly as closely as you may think.
Many buyers may consider 42-inch TVs and 50-inch TVs as pretty close substitutes. The 50-inch set may be bigger, but it’s not a big deal. Right?
Wrong. A 50-inch set has a 40 percent larger screen than a 42-inch model. It’s an entirely different animal.
Here are some other comparisons that may interest you…
Diagonal/Screen Area
42 inches /754 inches
50 inches/1,068 inches
60 inches/1,538 inches
65 inches/1,809 inches
70 inches/2,092 inches
We don’t measure a book’s length by its surface area. Why would we use an equally silly measurement for TVs?
