I went to Best Buy's website and found a 75" LG TV. The box height is 43.89 inches. A typical household door height is about 80 inches. That's plenty of clearance so I guess I don't understand the question? Are there TVs much bigger than 75"?

Best Buy has a 100” tv for sale. The box for that is 62” tall, so it’ll still fit through the door.

My 85" TV is roughly 45". That would be an incredibly large TV to not fit through a standard door.

Who the hell has a 200" TV that it would be taller than 80"?

You'd have to be talking about an absolutely massive TV. Like, larger than commercially available (to the general public). Which is, of course, possible, but in general, the people who can afford those TVs have someone else paid to figure out how to get it inside and installed. Also, video-walls are a thing that exist, and they absolutely do come apart in sections. What's the difference, you ask? A TV is a single unit display. A video-wall is a (nearly) seemless series of displays that interconnect to form one gigantic display. And they're modular! (And AFAIK extremely hard to find these days, but were moderately popular 10-20 years ago)

Often they'll remove the windows in a room to fit large furniture in that way. It happens with really large sofas too if they're too large to get through a door

There are a lot of ways from having an already existing big door (but rarely used) so you can move things in.

Or windows.

Or some clever maneuvering, like multiple pivot points etc..

In most cases the homeowner should be keenly aware HOW to get something big in in the first place.

Worse case...sledgehammer.

>the TVs in question don't appear to fold or come apart

No shit, but it would be helpful if you provided an example of the TV in question? Looks like their largest commercial screen of 97" is 'coming soon', it's just under 1.3M in height, I just measured a standard door@1.97M.

I'd guess they take the doors off or worst case, remove a window, like with a normal TV and whatever example you've seen LOOKS as though it's larger than the property's doorways, but in actual fact you're estimation of relative size is off.
