Quick verdict
For most people, the TCL 43" QLED is the best buy: a QLED panel (more colour and brightness than a plain LED), Google TV, and a brand with local service, for barely more than the LED sets. Want to spend the least? The Enova Full HD. Want a brand with wide local service? The Noblex.
What to look for before buying
- Resolution: at 43", Full HD is enough — At 43 inches and normal living-room distance, the difference between Full HD and 4K is hard to notice. 4K starts to pay off from 50" up. At this size, prioritise a good panel and a smooth system over paying extra for 4K.
- Panel type: QLED vs LED — A QLED panel gives livelier colours and more brightness than a plain LED, especially in daylight. If the price doesn't jump much, it's the upgrade that changes the image most in this range.
- System: Google TV — Almost all run Google TV: it's smooth, has every app (Netflix, Disney+, YouTube) and voice control, and gets updates. Avoid the in-house systems of smaller brands, which sometimes run out of apps.
- Brand and local service — With entry-level brands, support matters: if it fails, you want local service. Noblex (Argentine) and TCL have better backing than the smaller brands.
- Price and financing — In this range prices and instalments change often. Always check the discounted price and interest-free instalments before deciding.

TCL 43S5400A 43" LED Full HD
Also TCL, but with a plain LED Full HD panel (not QLED) and the brand's backing. It's the most expensive on the list: if you can get the QLED model, that one gives you more for less.

Forty-three inches is the most popular size in Argentina: it fits almost any living room or bedroom, and it’s the point where the price is still affordable. The key at this size is not to overpay for things you won’t notice — 4K, for example — and to focus on what actually changes the experience: the panel, the system and the brand’s backing.
Full HD vs 4K at 43 inches
It’s the most common question, and the short answer is: at 43”, Full HD is enough. At normal living-room distance, the eye can’t pick out 4K’s extra detail on a screen this size; 4K starts to be worth it from 50 inches up. Every set on this list is Full HD, and that’s fine: the money goes further on a good panel than on a resolution you won’t use. If you specifically want 4K and a bigger screen, see the 4K smart TV guide.
What to look at: panel and system
- Panel: a QLED (like the TCL 43S5K) gives more brightness and colour than a plain LED. It’s the upgrade you notice most, especially in daylight. If you’re curious about the differences, we have a note on LED, QLED and OLED.
- System: almost all run Google TV, which is smooth and has every app. That’s what you want; avoid small brands’ in-house systems.
Which one for you
If it’s the main living-room TV
The TCL QLED is the best choice: better image than the LED sets, Google TV and a brand with local service, for barely more money.
If it’s a second TV (bedroom, kitchen)
The Enova or the Quint do the job at the lowest price. Don’t chase the best image here; you want something that works well and doesn’t cost much.
If warranty and local service matter
The Noblex, an Argentine brand with a wide service network. If something fails, it’s easier to sort out than with a small brand.
Frequently asked
At 43 inches, should I get 4K or Full HD?
Full HD is enough for most people. At 43" and normal living-room distance, the difference from 4K is hard to see; 4K starts to be worth it from 50" up. At this size it's better to invest in a good panel (QLED) and a smooth system than in resolution.
What is Google TV and why does it matter?
It's the TV's operating system. Google TV is fast, has every app (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+) and voice control, and gets updates. Almost all the sets here use it. What to avoid are the in-house systems of small brands, which sometimes lose apps or updates.
Is it worth paying for QLED on a 43" TV?
If the price doesn't jump, yes: QLED gives more brightness and colour than a plain LED, and it's the upgrade you notice most in this range. On this list, the TCL QLED costs barely more than several LED sets and best balances image and price.
Are the budget brands (Enova, Quint, Coby) reliable?
They're fine for normal use, especially as a second TV or on a tight budget. The difference from a big brand is support: if it fails, service can be trickier. Noblex (Argentine) and TCL give more peace of mind thanks to their service network.
Are the prices up to date?
