When choosing a 40-43" television, you should first consider whether you want a model with or without smart features. You should also consider the size, resolution, optimal viewing distance, refresh rate, type of tuner (terrestrial, cable or satellite broadcasting), and other practical functions.

Classic or Smart TV – what is best?
Smart TV
In addition to standard television broadcasts, smart TVs allow you to watch Youtube videos, view pictures and videos from your mobile phone or tablet, and much more (functions vary from model to model). To use all these functions you must be connected to the Internet. Compared to traditional TVs with similar image quality, Smart TVs are slightly more expensive.
Classic TV
Compared with smart TVs with similar picture quality, classic TVs are cheaper but don't have the range of functions that smart TVs offer. Instead they are only suitable for watching TV and playing movies from a computer or DVD / Blu-ray player.
What else should I consider when choosing a 40-43" TV?
The optimum viewing distance, size and resolution
When choosing a specific size and resolution of a television, you should consider how far you will sit from the TV.
| Screen Size (1" = 2.54 cm) / What you watch | SD programs, movies on DVD* | HD programs, movies on Blu-ray* |
| 40" (approx. 102 cm) | 3 m | 1.6 m |
| 43 "(approx. 109 cm) | 3.2 m | 1.7 m |
*A large proportion of television programs now broadcast in SD resolution (576p), whereas some programs broadcast in HD (720p or 1080i).
- To watch SD programs or movies on DVD, a model with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels will suffice.
- To watch HD programs or movies on Blu-ray, we recommend a model with Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels) or higher.
- If you plan to watch movies in high 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels), choose from our range of 4K TVs.
Panel refresh rate
- 50Hz panel - found on cheaper TVs. Compared with 100Hz panels, images are less smooth and sharp during fast-moving scenes.
- 100Hz panel - provides sharp and smooth images during fast-moving scenes. You will really notice the difference in quality when watching sports or action movies.
Type type
- DVB-S / S2 - for receiving satellite television broadcasts.
- DVB-C - for receiving cable television.
- DVB-T - for digital terrestrial (aerial) broadcasting.
- DVB-T2 + HEVC - for digital terrestrial (aerial) TV broadcasting in the new standard.
It is important to make sure that the place where the TV will be used has access to the same type of broadcast that the TV itself supports. Don't forget to buy a cable to connect the TV to a satellite, antenna, or a cable TV socket.
Backlight (only LED LCD TV)
- Direct TV with LED - compared with Edge LED, these models offer evenly backlit displays and truer black colour, providing better contrast. The disadvantage is the higher price and usually larger dimensions (depth).
- Television with Edge LED - compared with similarly sized TVs with Direct LED, these models are often less expensive and have a smaller dimensions (depth). However, they usually provides less contrast and lower illumination. The difference is especially apparent towards the sides of the TV screen, which may be somewhat lighter.
