Maximum TV width and height for each TV lift cabinet
This table lists 23 TV lift cabinet listings sorted by maximum TV width. Confirmed width limits range from 40 in to 58 1/2 in.
The 46, 50 or 65 inch in a cabinet's name is a screen diagonal. The limit that decides the fit is the TV width, and TVs with the same diagonal differ in width by an inch or more.
The calculated column is the largest 16:9 picture as wide as the width limit. A TV is wider than its picture because of the frame, so the largest TV that fits has a smaller screen than the column shows.
TV width and height limits
A 16:9 picture is 0.87 times its diagonal in width and 0.49 times its diagonal in height. A lift cabinet limits both. The inside of the case limits the width and the lift travel limits the height. The Touchstone Mini Elevate chest has a 24 1/2 in height limit. A 46 in picture is 22.5 in tall, which leaves 2 in for the frame and any speaker bar below the screen.
Touchstone's comparison chart says a component shelf or equipment below the TV reduces the TV height a lift takes. For the Touchstone trunks, the product page lists 32 1/2 in without equipment on the shelf and 28 in with it.
