Quick answer
Top pick LG 43NU870BPLA
The LG 43NU870BPLA is the top pick on paper: a native 60Hz 4K panel, three HDMI ports with eARC and ALLM, and LG’s α7 AI Processor 4K Gen9, per its listing. For mostly films on Netflix or Prime Video, look at the Philips 8100 Series: its spec table lists Dolby Vision on a QLED panel, with Dolby Atmos sound. On a tighter budget, the Xiaomi FX Pro is the most affordable 4K QLED here.

What to look for in a 43-inch TV
43 inches is a common size for bedrooms and smaller living rooms. At this size, a few specs separate a good buy from a disappointing one:
- 4K or Full HD. Many 43-inch TVs on sale are 4K. Full HD models cost less and are fine for DTH channels, but at a typical bedroom viewing distance 4K looks sharper with streaming apps.
- HDR formats. HDR10 is the baseline. Dolby Vision is used widely by Netflix and Prime Video; HDR10+ is used by Prime Video. A TV that lists neither still plays HDR10.
- Refresh rate. 60Hz native is the norm. Some listings quote 50Hz, and some quote a higher “HSR” or “MEMC” figure, which is motion processing rather than the panel’s native rate.
- HDMI ports and eARC. Three HDMI ports cover a set-top box, a console and a streaming stick. eARC lets you send high-quality audio to a soundbar.
- Warranty. Several brands add an extra year on the panel, the most expensive part to replace. Read the warranty line in the listing.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 43-inch TV big enough for a living room?
For viewing distances up to about 2 metres, usually yes. If your sofa is further away, consider 50 or 55 inches.
Google TV, Fire TV, webOS or Tizen?
All four carry the main Indian streaming apps. Google TV and Fire TV have the largest app stores; webOS (LG) and Tizen (Samsung) are the makers’ own systems. Pick the one whose remote and voice assistant you prefer.
Why are there no exact prices?
TV prices on Amazon.in change often, especially around sales. Each pick shows an approximate price band; check the live price before you buy.
