65 vs 70 Inch TV Comparison Tool

[00:00:00] If you're debating between a 65 and a 70in TV, that 5-in jump, it does make a difference. But there's something you need to know about 70-in TVs. I'm Dr. B. I make content and tools to help you with the TV buying process. So, first we're going to visualize that 5-in jump, and then we'll talk about that 70-in TV. [00:00:20] Let's go. So, first the visuals. Here's your standard 65-in screen, and here's a 70in screen. When we overlay them, moving up to that 70-in TV, that does give you 16% more viewing area than the 65-in TV. It's not a huge difference, but it does matter when you're deciding what TV [00:00:40] actually makes sense for you. If this calculator is helping you figure out which TV is best for you, or you're still deciding, feel free to subscribe. One caution with logistics. Even a 5- in increase changes the overall width and the height of the TV. And this can affect whether it'll fit on your furniture or line up with your wall mount or even just work in your space. [00:01:02] Also, the box is a little bit larger, so it's worth checking transport if you want to take it home in your car. So, in terms of viewing experience, that 70in, it is a little more immersive. That's 16% more viewing area, but it's a subtle upgrade. It's not dramatic. Here's the thing about 70-in TVs, though. In general, 70-in TVs are kind of a [00:01:22] lower-end TV, more an entry-level TV. They're big, which is nice, but they usually lack features. You don't have a lot of choices what kind of features you'll get if you're looking for a 70-in TV. So, I'd recommend looking at a 65 in or maybe a 75. See if it might be better fit. So, before you pull the trigger, [00:01:43] get the bigger screen. Jump over to tvsimplify.com, try our calculator, and subscribe if you want more tools and quick guides like this.
