Fake TV for Staging: 42 vs 50 vs 55 vs 60 vs 70 (Which Size Looks Right?)
Fake TVs for staging are not about entertainment — they are about scale, balance, and visual credibility in a room. In showrooms and model homes, the wrong TV size can quietly make a living room feel “off”: too small looks under-scaled, too large overwhelms the wall and furniture.
YIJIA Props TVs are also known as prop TV, dummy TV, fake TV for staging, and faux TV — built for showroom and model-home display.
If you’re planning a showroom vignette, a real estate model home, or a staged living room set, this guide compares the most commonly used sizes: 42, 50, 55, 60, and 70 inches.
For a full overview of how Props TVs are used in professional environments:
Props TV for Showrooms (Guide)
Quick Rule of Thumb (Fast Decision)
-
If you want the safest “looks-right-almost-everywhere” choice: 55"
-
If your space is compact (apartments/bedrooms / secondary rooms): 42"
-
If you want a balanced living-room presence without going big: 50"
-
If the wall is wide or the layout is open-plan: 60"
-
If you need a strong visual impact in large sets and spacious interiors: 70"
Size Comparison (42 vs 50 vs 55 vs 60 vs 70)
Use this quick chart to match TV size to room type and staging intent.
42" Props TV — Compact & Versatile
Best for: apartments, bedrooms, secondary living areas, space-conscious showroom layouts
When it looks best: smaller walls, shorter viewing distance, subtle tech presence.
50" Props TV — Balanced Living Room Choice
Best for: mid-size living rooms, standard sofa + TV console compositions
When it looks best: you want a “complete living room” without oversized impact.
55" Props TV — Global Standard for Staging
Best for: most showroom living rooms and model-home main living areas
When it looks best: you want a safe, modern media-wall look that fits most layouts.
60" Props TV — Upgrade for Spacious Modern Interiors
Best for: wider walls, open-plan layouts, premium showroom vignettes
When it looks best: 55" feels slightly under-scaled, and you want a stronger anchor.
70" Props TV — Strong Wall Presence
Best for: large living rooms, villas, large apartments, open showroom sets
When it looks best: you need a confident focal-point presence without “flagship oversized” territory.

Common Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
-
Choosing too small a space for the main living room
A TV that looks underscaled makes the wall feel empty, and the furniture feel mismatched. If it’s the main living room, start from 55". -
Going too large in compact layouts
Oversized TVs can visually overpower smaller sofas and narrow walls. Use 42" for compact spaces. -
Using real TVs in staging environments
Real devices introduce black screens, cables, maintenance, and theft/damage risk. A display-only dummy TV keeps visuals consistent and reduces operational workload.
Recommended “Mixed-Size Kit” for Professional Projects
If you stage multiple rooms or manage repeat installations, a mixed-size kit is usually the most efficient:
-
42" for bedrooms / compact rooms
-
55" for standard living rooms
-
60" or 70" for open-plan “hero” living areas
