Short answer: No — a 40" TV will not fit in a space less than 30" wide.
Why: TV sizes are given as the diagonal. Most modern TVs are 16:9. For a 40" diagonal 16:9 set:
- Screen width ≈ 40 × (16/√(16²+9²)) ≈ 34.9 inches
- Screen height ≈ 19.6 inches
If the TV you looked at is 24" tall (that probably includes bezel/stand), its width would scale the same way and be about 42.7" wide. Either way the width is well over 30".
If you need a TV that fits a 30" wide space, a 32" 16:9 TV (screen width ≈ 27.9") would be a better choice. If you tell me the exact available width and whether you can wall-mount, I can recommend exact maximum diagonal or specific models.
