77 inch TV dimensions
A 77 inch TV measures 170.5 cm × 95.9 cm of active area — 67.1 in by 37.8 in — and about 171.7 cm wide including its bezels. Below it is drawn to scale on a 200 cm wall, measured against real spaces, and compared with the sizes either side of it.
At 77 inches the feet start deciding the answer, not the body.
The body is about 171.7 cm and the feet span 137 cm. Those are two different limits and they fail in different places. A compact 120 cm unit cannot take the feet at all. A standard 150 cm unit can — the feet land with room — but the body then overhangs the furniture by roughly 22 cm at each end, which is legal, common, and not what everyone expects to see when it arrives.
On a wall it needs 172 cm. A 160 cm wall is out by 12 cm. A standard 200 cm zone takes it at 86 % of the width, which is about as full as a wall should look. It stands 102.7 cm tall on its feet.
The 75 inch beside it is only 3 % narrower — near enough that price, not size, should decide between them. The 83 inch is 8 % wider and 16 % more picture.

Compared with a 77" 16:9 panel. Area grows roughly as the square of the diagonal, which is why a step up is always a bigger jump than it sounds.
