These are the best 43-inch TVs we track in Australia, ranked by the TV Rex rating - our own score, kept separate from price - and compared on live prices across the major retailers. Sort by price, biggest discount or customer rating using the controls below. They are all 4K smart TVs, so this is a straight, like-for-like comparison of the 43-inch televisions worth buying today.
A 43-inch screen suits a room where you're sitting close - a bedroom, a share-house lounge, a kitchen bench, or a desk where it's doing double duty as a monitor. At that distance the panel doesn't need to be huge to fill your view, so picture quality per dollar becomes the more useful thing to compare than screen size itself.
The vast majority of TVs at this size use standard LED panels rather than Mini-LED or OLED, and that's a sensible trade here. Backlight zoning and blooming are far less visible on a smaller, closer screen, so the gap between a basic panel and a premium one narrows a lot compared to a 65-inch or 75-inch set.
What's worth checking is less about the panel and more about the extras: a smart platform that feels quick to navigate rather than laggy, enough HDMI inputs if you're running a console or soundbar alongside it, and a stand narrow enough for a desk or a chest of drawers rather than a media unit.

How we rank the best 43-inch TVs
The list above is ordered by the TV Rex rating - our own rules-based score out of five that weighs picture, gaming, sound, smarts and build, kept deliberately separate from price so it tells you how good the TV actually is. Re-sort by price, biggest discount or customer rating using the controls at the top. Every set is one we track right now, in stock with a live price, and the order refreshes daily as stock and deals move. Read how we rate TVs for the full method.
What to look for in a 43-inch TV
- Check it is actually 4K. 43 inches is the one mainstream size where Full HD (1080p) sets still linger. Most are 4K, but confirm the resolution before you buy - it is the easiest spec to get caught on at this size.
- Panel type matters less here. At close viewing distances backlight blooming is far less visible, so the gap between a basic LED and a premium panel narrows. Most 43-inch sets are LED or QLED; genuine OLED is rare and pricey at this size.
- Gaming and desk use. Some 43-inch sets run a 120Hz panel, which suits a PC monitor or a close-up console setup - see 60Hz vs 120Hz. For most lounge viewing 60Hz is fine.
- Where it fits. 43 inches is the bedroom, study, kitchen or second-room size, and it doubles well as a monitor. From about 1.5 metres it fills your view without dominating a small room.
How much should a 43-inch TV cost?
43 inches is the most affordable mainstream size, so the range is narrow: most sets sit at the budget-to-mid end, with the occasional premium panel costing a lot more for diminishing returns at this screen size. The live price range for every 43-inch set we track is shown above and updates daily. If you have room for more screen, our 55-inch list is the next size up and often better value per inch.
