28 inch TV size guide
28 Inch TV Dimensions in CM & Inches
A standard 16:9 28-inch TV has a 62.0 cm (24.4 in) wide and 34.9 cm (13.7 in) high screen without its stand. Actual TVs are usually about 1 to 2 cm wider and taller once bezels are included, so check the model specification for its exact outer dimensions. With the stand, the typical total height is about 39.9 to 40.9 cm, but the exact figure varies by model. Its panel depth is usually 2.5 to 6 cm without the stand.

Stand height, feet position, bezel width and depth vary by model. Use the product specification for a final installation measurement.
How wide is a 28 inch TV?
A 28-inch TV screen is 62.0 cm (24.4 in) wide and 34.9 cm (13.7 in) high for standard 16:9 geometry. The 28-inch label measures the screen diagonally from corner to corner, so it does not describe the television’s width.
A 27 inch TV is 2.2 cm narrower, while a 30 inch TV is 4.4 cm wider. Compare popular sizes including 43 inch TV dimensions, 55 inch TV dimensions, 65 inch TV dimensions and 75 inch TV dimensions.
Will a 28 inch TV fit my TV stand?
A 28-inch TV needs a stand at least 62.0 cm (24.4 inches) wide for the screen itself. A wider unit leaves practical clearance at each side and looks more balanced.
The feet may sit near the screen edges or closer to the centre, depending on the model. Measure their exact spacing and use the TV fit checker for your space before buying. Typical stand footprint depth is 20 to 24 cm.
How far should I sit from a 28 inch TV?
For mixed viewing, sit about 42.0 to 70.0 inches (1.1 to 1.8 metres) from a 28-inch TV. This uses the consistent mixed-use range of 1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal.
For a more cinematic field of view, sit about 33.6 inches (0.9 metres) away using the 1.2× diagonal guideline. A 4K TV can be comfortable from around one screen diagonal away. Use the viewing distance calculator for your own seating distance.
What wall mount size does a 28 inch TV need?
Many 28-inch TVs use a VESA mounting pattern around 100 × 100 mm or 200 × 100 mm, but the required pattern and weight rating vary by model. Match the mount to the TV’s listed VESA holes and weight rather than choosing by screen size alone.
Allow space for cables and ventilation. A wall mount usually keeps the screen much shallower than a furniture stand.
Will the box fit in my car?
A typical box for a 28-inch TV is roughly 82.0 to 92.0 cm wide, 54.9 to 64.9 cm high and 15 to 30 cm deep. That estimate allows about 10 to 15 cm of packaging at each screen side, so exact cartons vary.
This box is most likely to fit in most hatchbacks and larger cars. Check the tailgate opening, cargo height and carton markings before collection; keep the TV upright where the manufacturer instructs.
Is 28 inch too big for my room?
A 28-inch TV suits many rooms when the main seat is around 1.1 to 1.8 metres away. Seating distance, wall width and viewing angle matter more than the room label.
