The Newell lift is not that wide. I suspect they were telling you what the entire box (with lift and TV inside) would measure.
Although the newer TVs are lighter, you will have to contend with the amount of torque that a fully extended lift can apply to the floor. Newell's lift is expensive and has about a five inch plate that is screwed into the floor. Once fully extended, it will easily flex the floor where it is screwed down.
I would look for something that would mount to the wall.
