What changes in your room?
The 85-inch screen is 8.7 inches wider and 4.9 inches taller. If both screens are centred on the same wall, the larger picture extends about 4.4 inches farther on each side. With both bottom edges aligned, all of the extra height appears above the smaller screen.
Screen area increases with the square of the diagonal. That is why a 13.3% increase in diagonal gives you 28.4% more picture. The diagram compares the picture rectangles only. Bezels, stands and brackets are not included.
Keep your viewing position in mind
At the same distance, the 85-inch screen fills more of your field of view. To keep the same horizontal viewing angle as the 75-inch screen, move your seat about 13.3% farther away. For example, 8 feet from the 75-inch screen gives the same angle as 9.1 feet from the 85-inch screen.
The larger size is not automatically the better choice. Check how it feels for your content and seating position, then confirm the exact TV’s overall width, stand footprint and required clearances. Measurements use 16:9 geometry and exact nominal diagonals, so model-specific dimensions can differ.
