**Short answer:** A 43-inch TV's screen is **37.5 in wide and 21.1 in tall** (95 cm × 54 cm). The current 43-inch models we checked are **38–38.2 in wide** and **22–22.2 in tall** without the stand, **22.3–24.8 in tall** on it, and weigh **17.4–21.9 lb**. All stand on two feet; the Sony BRAVIA 3's are **28.1 in** apart, so the furniture top needs about 32 in. Every one uses **VESA 200 × 200**. Sit about **4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 10 in** from the screen.

## Key takeaways

- Plan for **39 in of width** and **23 in of height** on the wall; about **25 in of height** on the stand.
- At 17.4–21.9 lb, a 43-inch TV is a one-person lift and a light-duty mount.
- Depth: Samsung's Q8F and The Frame **1.0 in**, Sony's BRAVIA 3 **2.7 in**.
- Best for **4–6 ft** away: bedrooms, kitchens, dorms and desks.

A 43-inch TV is the size for a bedroom wall, a kitchen counter, a dorm or a small den. It is light enough to move by yourself, and its stand is what decides where it fits. Here are the exact measurements of every current 43-inch model we track, from the manufacturers' US spec sheets.

## The screen: 37.5 × 21.1 inches

A 43-inch 16:9 screen measures 37.5 in by 21.1 in (95 cm × 54 cm), an area of 790 sq in. The models we list all measure **42.5 in** diagonally.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sony BRAVIA 3 K-43S30 · 2024 | LED | 38 × 22.2 × 2.7 | 24.8 | 10.5 | 28.1 in between feet | 21.9 / 22.3 | 200x200 | Amazon ↗ |
| Samsung Q8F QN43Q8F · 2025 | LED | 38 × 22 × 1 | 24.2 | 7.8 | – | 17.4 / 18.1 | 200x200 | Amazon ↗ |
| Samsung The Frame (LS03F) QN43LS03FAF · 2025 | LED | 38.2 × 22 × 1 | 22.3 | 7.7 | – | 19 / 19.6 | 200x200 | Amazon ↗ |

To check one against your wall, furniture and seat at once, use [Will it fit?](/will-it-fit/).

- **Width:** 38.0 to 38.2 in. Two-tenths of an inch between the narrowest and widest.
- **Depth:** the two Samsungs are 1.0 in deep; the Sony BRAVIA 3 is 2.7 in.
- **Height on the stand:** The Frame sits lowest at 22.3 in, the BRAVIA 3 highest at 24.8 in. Under a kitchen cabinet or a shelf, 2.5 in can decide it.

## Stands and small furniture

(Diagram: Among the 43-inch models we list, the widest feet span 28.1 in. Add about 2 in each side for the furniture top.)

Every 43-inch model here stands on two feet:

- **Sony BRAVIA 3:** **28.1 in** between the outer edges of the feet (the same span as its 50-inch), so a top of about **32 in** is the minimum. It needs 10.5 in of depth.
- **Samsung Q8F and The Frame:** Samsung publishes the size of each foot but not their spacing. Assume they sit near the ends of the 38-inch TV and plan for a top at least that wide; they need 7.7–7.8 in of depth, the shallowest here.

On a narrow nightstand or a kitchen counter, the shallow Samsung stands fit where the Sony's won't. If no top is wide enough for the feet, use a [VESA tabletop stand](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=universal+tabletop+TV+stand+VESA+200x200+43+inch&tag=specwiseguide-20) or a wall mount.

## Wall mounting a 43-inch TV

Leave **39 × 23 in** for the TV. All the 43-inch models we list use **VESA 200 × 200 mm** and weigh 17.4–21.9 lb, so any small mount rated for 25 lb or more fits. A [full-motion arm](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=full+motion+TV+wall+mount+VESA+200x200+43+inch&tag=specwiseguide-20) on one wood stud is common in kitchens and bedrooms, where you may want to angle the screen. For metal studs and plaster, see [mounting on metal studs](/tv-mount-metal-studs/); for the height, [TV mounting height](/tv-mounting-height/).

## Features at 43 inches

| TV line | Type | Panel (as marketed) | Refresh / max VRR | 4K 120 Hz+ inputs | HDR formats | Anti-reflection | Sizes we list | Check price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Q8F 2025 | LED | QLED | 60 / 60 Hz | 0 of 3 | HDR10+ | – | 32″, 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″, 75″, 85″ | Amazon ↗ |
| Samsung The Frame (LS03F) 2025 | LED | QLED with matte anti-reflection display | 60 / 60 Hz | 0 of 4 | HDR10+ | Matte Display | 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″ | Amazon ↗ |
| Sony BRAVIA 3 2024 | LED | LED, direct backlight | 60 / 60 Hz | 0 of 4 | Dolby Vision | – | 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″ | Amazon ↗ |

All three are **4K, 60 Hz** sets at this size. Samsung's Q8F and The Frame run at 120 Hz from 55 inches up, but not at 43; the Q8F also has three HDMI inputs here instead of four. If 4K at 120 Hz for a console matters, no 43-inch model in our catalogue has it yet.

## Seating distance and resolution

(Diagram: Where to sit for a 43-inch TV, seen from above: 4 ft 3 in (immersive) to 5 ft 10 in (relaxed).)

A 43-inch screen fills 40° of your view at **4 ft 3 in** and 30° at **5 ft 10 in**. That suits a bed facing a dresser or a kitchen table near the counter. From farther away, consider [50 inches](/43-vs-50-inch-tv/).

Is 4K worth it at 43 inches? With 20/20 vision, single 1080p pixels are visible only closer than 5 ft 7 in, inside the comfortable range, so 4K still sharpens the picture from a typical seat. From 6 ft or more, the gain is small. See [4K vs 8K](/4k-vs-8k-tv/) for the research on the eye's limit.

For a smaller kitchen or bathroom set, see [32-inch TV dimensions](/tv-dimensions/32-inch/).
