The weight of a 65-inch TV can vary greatly depending on the display technology, specific model, and brand. It’s also important to consider the weight of the TV in its packaging for transportation purposes, as well as its weight with or without a stand.
Weight of the TV Depending on the Model
The weight of a TV isn’t solely determined by the type of display, although OLED and QLED displays tend to weigh less than LED displays. In reality, the weight primarily depends on the quality of materials used. For instance, a premium TV with extensive metal in its finish will be heavier than a cheaper TV of the same size.
To illustrate this, I did some research and compared the weights of Samsung and LG TVs. Here are the findings:
OLED Samsung 65S90D:
- Package Weight: 65.9 lbs (29.9 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 46.7 lbs (21.2 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 49.6 lbs (22.5 kg)
- Stand Weight: 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg)
Samsung 65S95D:
- Package Weight: 87.7 lbs (39.8 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 41.7 lbs (18.9 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 63.9 lbs (29.0 kg)
- Stand Weight: 22.3 lbs (10.1 kg)
Samsung 65QN90D:
- Package Weight: 78 lbs (35.4 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 53.4 lbs (24.2 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 60.6 lbs (27.5 kg)
- Stand Weight: 7.3 lbs (3.3 kg)
Samsung 65DU8000:
- Package Weight: 62.4 lbs (28.3 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 46.1 lbs (20.9 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 47 lbs (21.3 kg)
- Stand Weight: 0.9 lbs (0.4 kg)
LG OLED65C4:
- Package Weight: 60.6 lbs (27.5 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 36.6 lbs (16.6 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 40.8 lbs (18.5 kg)
- Stand Weight: 4.2 lbs (1.9 kg)
LG OLED65G4:
- Package Weight: 81.4 lbs (36.9 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 52.5 lbs (23.8 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 62.6 lbs (28.4 kg)
- Stand Weight: 10.1 lbs (4.6 kg)
LG 65QNED90T:
- Package Weight: 88.2 lbs (40.0 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 68.3 lbs (31.0 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 69.2 lbs (31.4 kg)
- Stand Weight: 0.9 lbs (0.4 kg)
LG 65UT7550:
- Package Weight: 45.6 lbs (20.7 kg)
- Set Weight without Stand: 32.6 lbs (14.8 kg)
- Set Weight with Stand: 33.1 lbs (15.0 kg)
- Stand Weight: 0.5 lbs (0.2 kg)
From the comparison, we can conclude that the weight of a TV depends on the quality of materials used. Here are the typical weights for different types of TV sets:
OLED TVs:
- Weight of the TV itself: 40-50 pounds (18-23 kilograms)
- Weight of the TV with stand: 40-65 pounds (18-30 kilograms)
- Weight of the TV in the box: 60-90 pounds (27-40 kilograms)
This information is useful if you plan to transport the TV yourself.
QLED TVs:
- The weight of QLED TVs is comparable to OLED TVs.
LED TVs:
- Weight of the TV itself: 35-45 pounds (16-20 kilograms)
- Weight of the TV with stand: Slightly more than the TV itself, as stands are usually lightweight (around 1 pound or 0.5 kilograms)
- Weight of the TV in the box: 45-65 pounds (20-30 kilograms)
LED TVs are generally lighter because they are predominantly made of plastic, making them more budget-friendly.
How many people are needed to move a 65-inch TV.
Moving a 65-inch TV usually requires two people. Although some TVs can technically be lifted by one person, their size and dimensions make them impractical and cumbersome to move alone. The width and height of a 65-inch TV makes it difficult to maneuver safely without assistance.
Having two people move the TV will provide better control and reduce the risk of damage to the TV or injury to the person. Also, two people are essential if you plan to mount the TV on the wall. Two people can quickly and safely move the TV and position it correctly for wall mounting.
