In the market for a new TV as the trusty 10yr old Sony 55W905 finally popped.

It's on the wall currently so a 55" replacement is easy however I keep getting carried away with a 65" as sofa is further away than than what is recommended for a 55"

The chimney/wall is 142cm wide but all 65" are around 144cm or wider. Would you buy a 65" and have it slightly wider than the chimney wall or not?

yes and fit a couple of speakers either side of the breast, so it won't look so weird so it doesn't look so "sticky outy" and less likely to be hit by something or catch.

The TV is mounted on the wall. Not sure I can add speakers to the sides halfway up the wall.
 
It was the safest height I could fit to, the fireplace I've no idea how it was filled in but it sounded very hollow lower with possibly very thin plasterboard.

edit: I found a few articles that state a 55" would be 61" from floor to centre. I just measure mine and I'm not far off to be honest.

HOW HIGH SHOULD A 55-INCH TV BE MOUNTED?​

A 55” TV should be around 61 inches from the floor to the center of the TV screen.

Thanks mate, I will be going for a 65" but now realised the sound bar fittings will probably be where some of the TV is going to be now. So will have to remove, fill holes, then relocate the soundbar.

Currys got a 20% off selected LG TVs meaning the LG Oled G2 is under £1400 if TCB tracks too. Very tempted.
