How can the dimensions on a 75" TV be 66.o" null

Because screen size is measured from upper left corner to lower right corner and not straight across. This is how all TV's are measured.

The 75" measurement refers to the diagonal line rather than the width.

The 75 inches refers to the diagonal measurement of the screen. My wife and I have been amused at the use of one number to describe a two-dimensional object. Yes, screens are actually three-dimensional objects, but the thickness is not relevant to the viewing size. Run a tape measure from one corner to its diagonal opposite, and the number should be very close to 75 inches, thus the phrase "75 inch class" or "74.5 inch class".
