I built DisplayMath. We have put together a visual guide to the measurements that a diagonal hides.
For a flat 16:9 picture, 55 in is about 121.8 68.5 cm and 65 in is about 143.9 80.9 cm. That is 39.7% more picture area, before the bezel and stand. From the same 2.5 m seat, the horizontal view changes from about 27.4 to 32.1 .
The guide separates physical fit from the view at your seat. Check the exact product's outside dimensions before buying.
