It offers an honest 4K screen resolution, which is important not only for watching movies, but also for playing games on the next generation console. And the presence of Android 9 turns this TV into a huge tablet on which you can install any applications you need.
And all of these possibilities are hidden behind a narrow bezel whose aesthetics appeal to reviewers.
pros: optimal price / performance ratio, convenient and compact remote control.

6. Sharp 40BL5EA
- 4K UHD (3840 × 2160), HDR
- screen diagonal 40 ″
- Smart TV (Android TV), Wi-Fi
- sound power 20 W (2x10 W)

5. SkyLine 40LT5900
- 1080p Full HD (1920 × 1080)
- screen diagonal 40 ", TFT VA
- screen refresh rate 50 Hz
- sound power 20 W (2x10 W)
- backlight type: Direct LED
- support DVB-T2
- HDMI x2, USB
- wall mount (VESA) 200 × 200 mm
- 910x567x190 mm, 7.4 kg
One of the most inexpensive 40-inch TVs in the rating. The wide diagonal for such a price, Full HD resolution, as well as a very convenient and well-thought-out menu speaks in its favor. You can customize everything very quickly, from digital television to picture quality.
By the way, we recommend to immediately reduce the brightness - manufacturers and suppliers of TVs love to raise it, as brighter screens make a beneficial impression on customers. But this does not mean at all that this degree of brightness will be comfortable for the eyes at home.
The main drawback of the SkyLine 40LT5900 is its sound. If the manufacturers decided to throw all their efforts on the design (and the TV does not look at its price at all) and the picture (which is very good), then they paid the least attention to the sound. So we suggest using some third-party acoustics (soundbar or external speakers, whichever you like best).
Another of the advantages of the TV easily turns into a disadvantage. SkyLine 40LT5900 is very lightweight, so light that a three-year-old child can drop it from the bollard with light hand movements. Not to mention a pet with an active lifestyle. Therefore, we recommend that you fix your plastic friend with a delicate matrix inside securely on the wall. It will be more whole.
pros: value for money, stylish and expensive appearance.
Minuses: need a secure mount, small viewing angles, flat sound.
4. BBK 43LEM-1063 / FTS2C
- 1080p Full HD (1920 × 1080)
- screen diagonal 43 ″
- screen refresh rate 50 Hz
- sound power 16 W (2x8 W)
- support DVB-T2
- HDMI x3, USB
- wall mount (VESA) 200 × 200 mm
- 971x604x210 mm, 7.5 kg
One of the best 43-inch TVs from the Chinese tech giant BBK. The model looks great, thanks to the narrow frames and bright picture. Conveniently, the engineers have carefully placed the connectors on the side, so nothing prevents the TV from being securely fixed to the wall.
Despite the cheapness, the TV works quickly, reads from a flash drive without problems, connects to a PC or laptop via HDMI and perfectly "pulls" Full HD TV shows. But it lacks Smart TV, which for many is more a plus than a minus (for inexpensive models, the speed of the "mind" often leaves much to be desired).
Like many other inexpensive TVs, the BBK 43LEM-1063 / FTS2C has problems with the built-in speakers and the sounds they make. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party devices for complete immersion. Even the simplest portable USB speakers can significantly improve sound.
pros: image, price, ease of use, two remotes included.
Minuses: sound.
3. Hyundai H-LED43ET4100
- 1080p Full HD (1920 × 1080)
- screen diagonal 43 ″
- screen refresh rate 60 Hz
- sound power 16 W (2x8 W)
- support DVB-T2
- HDMI x3, USB x2
- wall mount (VESA) 200 × 200 mm
- 963x617x180 mm
This is a good and inexpensive TV without Smart TV. But what does this mean in our age of compatible devices! The screen can be connected either to a laptop or to a computer (even if you want to use it as a monitor for a PC). The TV has a Full HD resolution, a large diagonal, colors are clear, natural, there are no afterimages or delays, and the frames are so thin that they are barely visible to the naked eye.
As with many TVs, the default backlight is too bright. Moreover, Hyundai engineers decided that ordinary users should not be given the opportunity to adjust the backlight directly, but who knows what they will do there. Therefore, so that the screen does not hurt your eyes, especially in the dark, you will have to perform several dances with a tambourine: turn on the service mode via the remote control via a key combination and adjust the backlight there.
pros: price, picture.
Minuses: Difficulty setting up digital TV, poor menu.
2. Samsung UE43RU7400U
- 4K UHD (3840 × 2160), HDR
- screen diagonal 43 ″, TFT IPS
- screen refresh rate 100 Hz
- Smart TV, Wi-Fi
- sound power 20 W (2x10 W)
- support DVB-T2
- HDMI x3, USB x2, Bluetooth, 802.11ac, Ethernet, Miracast
- wall mount (VESA) 200 × 200 mm
- 970x648x344 mm, 12.1 kg
For a fairly reasonable price, the Samsung UE43RU7400U has a whole range of advantages: 4K resolution, HDR10 + support, very fast OS, pre-installed Apple TV and AirPlay, Bluetooth, and an abundance of ports for all occasions. What's more, all this beauty is packaged in a 43 ”diagonal, which is great for home use.
You shouldn't expect Samsung's 7 Series TVs to show you all the brilliance of OLED technology, but dynamic backlighting (depending on lighting) and local dimming alone give you an excellent picture. Black is really black. True, in pursuit of blackness, the viewing angles had to be sacrificed, so it is better to watch TV strictly from sitting opposite.
The remote control gives users some inconvenience - the manufacturer decided to abandon the traditional channel numbers, instead introducing a remote control with a wheel. Compensates for the lack of numbers in many submenus. However, users who have figured out such an innovation say that the remote control is very convenient, and with the abundance of channels in modern TVs, it is easier to scroll than to dial manually.
pros: easy control, HDR, colors, picture, stylish design.
Minuses: The viewing angles are poor, as is the brightness of the screen.
1. LG 43UM7450
- 4K UHD (3840 × 2160), HDR
- screen diagonal 43 ″, TFT IPS
- screen refresh rate 50 Hz
- Smart TV (webOS), Wi-Fi
- sound power 20 W (2x10 W)
- backlight type: Direct LED
- support DVB-T2
- HDMI x3, USB x2, Bluetooth, 802.11ac, Ethernet, Miracast
- wall mount (VESA) 200 × 200 mm
- 973x622x221 mm, 9 kg
If you want the best 43 "TV for price and reviews, check out the LG 43UM7450 43". It has a very interesting feature called 4K Active HDR. It transforms the picture from just good to great, especially when watching wildlife programs or playing games. In general, colors are vibrant, natural, and accurate.
True, there was a fly in the ointment too - the TV does not support local dimming. This technology reduces screen backlighting where dark colors are present to make blacks appear even blacker. However, we cannot say that the black in LG 43UM7450 looks “grayish”, but it could have been much better.
And LG 43UM7450 is a smart TV, so you can connect it to the Internet and watch anything from anywhere. The store has several useful applications, plus you can connect streaming TV services, of which there are now many.
In this model lives a new artificial intelligence called ThinQ. With it, you can control the TV with your voice, for example, ask to turn on your favorite show or stop showing after the current episode. The TV is compatible with Google Home, Alexa devices and has a built-in Google Assistant. Plus connects via anything, including Bluetooth and smartphones.
In terms of sound, the LG 43UM7450 has two built-in speakers with 10W each. This may be enough for an ordinary user if he is not too far from the screen. But if you prefer to recline on the sofa at the opposite end of the room, we suggest you consider buying a soundbar. Moreover, the ultra-surround sound mode built into the TV is perfectly compatible with external speakers.
pros: image quality, color rendering, viewing angles, "smart" assistant.
Minuses: no.
