Short answer
The QN43Q8F measures 38 × 22 × 1 in without its stand (24.2 in high on it), weighs 17.4 lb and mounts with VESA 200x200 mm. It’s a 2025 LED TV with a 60 Hz panel; sit 4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 10 in away.
The Samsung Q8F QLED in the 43-inch class (QN43Q8F) is a 2025 LED TV. Every number below is from Samsung’s US spec sheet, re-typed into our own table; the few we work out from it are marked.
Note from the spec sheet: 55-85 inch: 120 Hz (up to 144 Hz), 4K 144 Hz on all four HDMI inputs. 50 inch and smaller: 60 Hz, three HDMI inputs (4K 60 Hz), no VRR. Two feet; the sheet gives each foot’s size but not the span. The sheet’s resolution row says 4K for the line, but its size chart labels the small sizes ‘FHD, HD’, so the 32-inch’s resolution is left unconfirmed.

Will it fit?
On furniture. The sheet doesn’t give the stand’s width, so measure the feet before choosing furniture narrower than the TV. On its own stand the screen’s center sits 13.2 in above the furniture top, so a 27 in high stand puts it at a typical seated eye height of 40 in.
On the wall. The TV uses VESA 200x200 mm and weighs 17.4 lb without its stand. Allow about 40 × 24 in of clear wall (1 in each side). It will stand off the wall by its own 1 in plus the mount’s depth, which the mount’s own spec sheet gives. See how to choose a wall mount.
