A 165 cm TV is a 65-inch TV. The figure refers to the diagonal of the screen panel. To convert, divide 165 by 2.54: 165 ÷ 2.54 = 64.96, which rounds to 65 inches. A 65-inch screen has an exact diagonal of 165.1 cm (65 × 2.54), so the 1 mm difference between "165 cm" and the true value is simply rounding. When a European retailer lists a TV as 165 cm, it is the standard 65-inch model sold under that label in all other markets.
A 165 cm (65-inch) TV with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio is 143.9 cm wide and 80.9 cm tall, measuring the screen only. The full unit including the bezel is typically 147–152 cm wide. This is a substantial width — wider than most TV stands and many wall sections. For installation planning, measure your space carefully and check the manufacturer's total product dimensions rather than just the screen diagonal. Wall mounting is particularly common for 65-inch TVs because of their size.
The recommended viewing distance for a 165 cm (65-inch) TV is between 2.5 m and 4.1 m. This is based on 1.5× to 2.5× the screen diagonal (165.1 cm). At 2.5 m, 4K Ultra HD content looks excellent — the high resolution keeps the picture sharp even at that relatively close range. For HD content, 3.0–3.5 m is a comfortable sweet spot. The 65-inch size is well matched to large living rooms; in smaller rooms where the sofa is under 2.5 m from the screen, a 55-inch TV may be more comfortable for extended viewing.
Yes, 165 cm and 65 inches refer to the same TV. A 65-inch screen has an exact diagonal of 165.1 cm (65 × 2.54). "165 cm" is simply that figure rounded down by 1 mm for a clean number. The difference is trivially small — less than the thickness of a credit card — and has no practical significance for buying, installation, or wall mounting. A "165 cm" listing and a "65 inch" listing describe the same screen in different unit conventions.
