テレビの横 ＆ テレビの隣 ー what's the difference? 2

[Starhowl]

I have another question, feel free to moderate them together into 1 thread, if you'd like, as stated above in the title, what the difference between these 2 is?

テレビの横　＆　テレビの隣 are both “something next to the TV.”
According to the grammar textbook, when you use テレビの隣, the size or category of A should be similar to the TV.
When you use テレビの横, the size or category of A can be different from the TV.
However, many native Japanese speakers use them interchangeably for talking about small things.
