You can return to this 42 iNCH TV page by typing the number 42 followed by a dot, followed by iNCHTV.com directly into the address bar of your web browser like this 42.iNCHTV.com (not case sensitive, and without https:// at the beginning).

Recommended viewing distance from the television screen’s surface to your eyes while seated for a 42″ diagonal TV is within the range of 4.2′ (or 50″) away for the most immersive, closest viewing experience to 6.3′ (or 76″) away for the least immersive, farthest viewing experience.

The viewable rectangular screen size dimensions for an exactly 42″ diagonal television would be about 36.6″ wide and 20.6″ high. Actual 42″ TV screen dimensions may vary slightly by a fraction of an iNCH more or less, as TV screen size classes are rounded to the nearest whole iNCH. Also, the bezel adds a bit more width and height to the television’s overall dimensions, and two supporting legs/feet or a pedestal stand add some more height and depth if you don’t wall mount the TV.
