    How big is the space for a TV in a kenworth studio sleeper?

    Would a 32 inch led fit?

    They are measured from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. 32" is the measurement diagonally across the front, not including the bezel. A 32" isn't going to be 32" wide.

    Depends on how/where you want to mount it.

    Today's 32 inch is way smaller than the giant vizo from 10 years ago sitting in my living room you can be sure of that. It wont fit in any sleeper.

    Jesus... Was he charging other drivers parked across the aisle from him to watch movies??? If he had a good stereo he would practically be a drive up theater!!

    He was single, no kids, and a whole lot of expendable income apparently. He had a T680 as well and would turn the passenger seat around. Used it for some movies, but mostly video games I think.

    I put a 32" in my prostar I had a few years back , it was overkill. To big. I sold that truck to a friend and he agreed and took it out. I would say 24" would be just fine.

    Yes I remember reading in my Crutchfield catalog as a teen back in 1994 that you need to make sure the TV is large enough to where you can view the entire screen without having to move your eyes to see different parts of the screen. Having too big a screen will prevent you from seeing the whole picture. If you want to test this theory, sit really close to the TV in your home and try to watch something. You will find that it a screen too large in a small space is overkill.

    I would think at least 55 inch should be fine.
