Default Overall dimensions of flat-screen TVs

Is there a website that lists the overall length, width and height
(not the screen size) of flat-screen TVs?

Go to the website of the television manufacturer (e.g., Samsung), choose
the particular model of interest, look at the specifications for that model.

I'm trying to find flat-screen TVs that will fit in a particular space
(for example: 42"W by 26"H).

Isn't there a way to see the overall dimensions of all (or many) TVs
rather than having the look at particular models on each
manufacturers' websites?)

Crutchfield used to list them in their printed catalogs (and may
still). You may be able to find a chart on their website.

Yes. The manufacturer's website, or the website of most places that
sell the TV.

Any TV that is less than a 42" diagonal will fit, as will many 42" models.
The 26" height might be a problem with some pedestals. Go to a website like

The 26" height might be a problem with some pedestals. Go to a website like
http://www.crutchfield.com/, mark the "compare" box on the models that
interest you, then click on "compare." You will get a comparison of the
make/models that you chose. For example:


http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/CompareTo.aspx?g=347750&cc=01&compareItems=01|1584 0EX500&compareItems=01|68942LD550&compareItems=01| 15840EX600&compareItems=01|30540C5000

Do a little research.

generally maybe, but not totally - one 42 inch set will have a larger
surround than another - and if space is tight that could make all the
difference.

When you do find a set which fits into the space you're measuring for,
be mindful of heat dissipation. If it's very tight, install a whisper
fan behind the unit on the top.

Heat is not you friend when it comes to electronics.

Cnet.com used to have a cabinet size search engine in which you plug
in your maximum space dimensions, and it will list what TV's will fit
in there.
But I just tried looking on their website and can't find it anywhere.
Like others said, look on the manufacturer's website, but regardless,
go down to the TV showroom with your own ruler and confirm the
measurements yourself.
