How much wider should console be than TV?
A good rule is to make sure that the width of your stand is at least two inches wider than the width of your TV. Also, your stand will most likely mention the ideal size of television for its width.
How wide should a TV stand be for a 55 inch TV?
For example, if you have a 55″ TV and do not want any over hang on the TV console, you will want to get one that is at least 50″ wide. Measure your TV to get it's true width to be sure though. A rule of thumb for us here is to have about 3 inches from the edge of your TV to the edge of the TV stand.Mar 6, 2018
