What to know about 43-inch TVs
A 43-inch TV is the size people put where a big screen won't fit: on a kitchen wall, in a bedroom across from the bed, or in an office for a second screen. It's light enough that wall choice is rarely a problem, so the real decisions are height and angle. In a bedroom you're usually watching lying down or propped up, so the TV can go higher than in a living room and a tilt bracket angled down makes a big difference.
Typical rooms for this size: bedrooms, kitchens, offices and dorm rooms.
