Why the tv of 50 inch has more Shipping Weight than the tv of 55 or 60 inch?

They use the same box for all three tv sizes. So with that said the 50 inch will have more space to fill with cushions or any onther packaging they use to secure your tv.

I have a 55 inch tv. The diagonal measurement is almost 58 inches and the horizontal measurement is almost 50 inches. It is bigger than the tv.

It depends on the tv. I have a 55in Samsung f7500 on mine, but it's actually lighter than my old LG 47in.

They ship as one piece and it is HEAVY. The mount nearly weighs as much as the 60 inch LED TV itself. It is super heavy duty. It mounts to the wall with 4 lag bolts.

Hi Blake. No, not really. I ordered it because I was going to get 40 and I ended up getting a 50. The edges of the TV extend beyond the sides of the stand, the glass seems to be bent in the middle under the weight of the TV (it's only a little, but it does bend). The overall construction material is pretty poor, it's made of very thin aluminum poles. It does *look* okay on its own. The claim that it can hold up to 70lbs is a bit misleading because while it probably can, mine weighs 50lbs and it's causing the bending I mentioned.

Even old TVs vary greatly in weight...I would not put more than 40 lbs, and then you need to worry about tipping over

That might be pushing it. It is sturdy, and the tv is no issue, but the tv is far lighter than 110 lbs. we have not tried sitting anything heavier on it.

Amazon ran out of stock and 3rd party sellers are selling for elevated prices. This is a 2012 model so its likely no more are being made and 3rd parties are taking advantage of that fact and the positiive reviews leading to high demand. The 60" is the same price as the 55" because Amazon still has the 60" in stock (I think).

Since both have the same resolution/pixel count, the 46" TV should theoretically have a more dense group of pixels than a larger 52" TV. BUT, under normal viewing distances, you will notice the size difference much much more than the pixel spacing. If your viewing distance is 8 feet or less, the 46" may be a good option, but beyond 8 feet, I think you will be much happier with the 52".

I think there may be a typo. The Vizio 42" is actually around 38lbs. With the stand it's a little over 40lbs. Shipping weight is pretty much correct, around 55lbs. or so.

I see what you mean, I think they are coming up with that number by using the shipping weight of 35.4 lbs instead of the 32 lb of product only. I don't know why they do that. Overall, it's a good price vs. the 100 load smaller container so that's something to think about.

I have a 46" plasma on mine and that is pretty much the max I would consider. LED & LCD are a lot lighter and may be OK. I assume that is what you have. The page says a max weight, but i don't remember exactly, 75-80 lbs sounds right. I was 3 lbs under and I can see a slight bow on the shelf the TV sits on, which is why I say it's the max. for a plasma. At 46" the sides of the TV are in line with the sides of the stand. So a 60" will stick out past the stand several inches on each side (if you care about that). It is a great stand though and easy to put together. ith 3 glass shelves I was worried about shipping, but no issues there either. Hope this helps.

My understanding is that for a 50 inch TV you will need to invest in a stand designed for that size TV. This stand is designed for smaller TVs.

My mother bought the 46" and I bought the 52". Both are very nice. After visiting last week my mother called me to say when she got home (200 miles away) her set looked liked a postage stamp.The 46" is really nice - the 52" is even better, much more of a "home theater" experience. Don't forget to upgrade the sound. Both units have sound that don't do the image justice.Don't place it too high (bad for the neck) and view dead on, not at an angle. I placed mine on a cart. I can roll it closer to the seating - then when not in use roll it away. With HDMI there are few cables to contend with. By doing this the set does not dominate the room as it did when on the mantle. (too high anyway). My mother bought the 46" and I bought the 52". Both are very nice.

I have a 50" on it right now and it's perfect. It has an inch or two on each side before it "hangs" over the tops edge. I don't see why a 55" tv wouldn't work though. Seems like it's be fine.
