If you are in the market for a new tv, one of the biggest factors that go into your decision making process is the overall weight of the tv.
Flat screen TVs have become much lighter than their predecessors from years ago, which is one of their most impressive features.
As technology advances, materials used during construction become lighter and less bulky. These days, many new 55-inch TV’s can be lifted by one person.
If you plan on wall mounting a 55-inch tv, it’s crucial to know the weight of the tv and the weight limits for the wall mount.
If you are looking for a lightweight tv, this article will show you a list of some of the lightest 55-inch TV’s on the market today.
How much does a 55-inch tv weigh?

How big is a 55-inch tv?
Depending on the brand and model of the tv, it’s dimensions can vary. Not all 55-inch TV’s are the same size. On average, a 55-inch tv has dimensions of 48 inches wide, 28 inches tall, and 2 inches thick. These dimensions are for the tv only without a stand.
Most 55-inch TV’s will measure 54.6″ diagonally from corner to corner. This measurement is known as screen size and can vary. Although the screen size of the tv is 54.6″, it will still be marketed as a 55-inch tv and not a 54.6″ tv.
If you plan on placing the tv on a wall mount, you won’t need to consider the size of the stand.
