Despite a bare-bones operating system, there's really very little to complain about. It's a solid performer, with Samsung's characteristically good upscaling, and solid motion handling too. It's a great choice for gamers, too, with just 9. You're not getting all of the gaming technologies of some other sets in this list, as HDMI 2. Read the full review: Samsung TU The 4-Series is available in two different variations based on its smart platform — either Roku TV or Android TV — however, we strongly recommend opting for the Roku model for its smoother performance, usability and security.
Its biggest issue is that of awful off-axis viewing more than 45 degrees that turns what is a fine and acceptable picture to a really desaturated mess.
Read the full review: Vizio V-Series This low-price Hisense TV may be the best way to save some pennies on a new inch TV, though you will have to settle for some compromises. This is a great value television, and the Roku TV platform elevates what it might have been, with a sleek interface and well-organised tile icons, alongside broad app support. Motion issues as well as some very poor audio keep this from being higher up in the list, and these problems need to be kept in mind.
If you want a cheap TV, though, and aren't put off by some scratchy audio or bungled upscaling, this could be a smart way to watch 4K content on a budget. It's worth remembering that inch screens, while once the pinnacle of high-end TV tech, is now a pretty small size compared to what's out there. Manufacturers can make bigger screens than ever before, and shoppers are cottoning on to how big TVs can actually get.
A inch TV should come with 4K resolution , but you'll be able to see the benefits more clearly on a larger size. A inch TV is a pretty decent size for a single viewer not sitting too far away, too, but for a family or group of flatmates it's less than ideal. So don't sell yourself short: definitely do the work of measuring how big a TV you can fit into your intended space, and think over how big a TV you're willing to bring into your home.
To get the best of both worlds, with a small product that offers a massive picture, you might want to consider one of the best projectors too. For ease, we've included inch TVs as well as the best inch TVs in this guide.
You'll occasionally even get screens listed as inch TVs, but they all sit around roughly the same measurements. Of course, many things affect the size and scale of a TV screen beyond simply the diagonal length of the panel, including the width of the bezel the black strip around the screen's edges , built-in speakers, HDMI inputs and connections, as well as the depth of the casing which often varies in different places. We're yet to hear about any specific timelines, models, or price points, but this compact panel size could result in the lowest OLED TV launch price we've ever seen — and the smart money says we could see these screens start to emerge as soon as Toshiba has recently refocused its attention on a budget battle with brands such as Hisense and TCL: smaller sets and lower prices.
The picture is solid at all levels. For detail, for scaling, for contrast and largely for colour too, it forms a decent image for its very modest price. Tom Parsons has been writing about TV, AV and hi-fi products not to mention plenty of other 'gadgets' and even cars for over 15 years.

What Hi-Fi? Samsung UE43TU Specifications Screen size: 43in. Backlight: edge LED. Resolution: 4K. Operating system: Samsung Tizen. HDMI inputs: 2. Optical output: Yes. Dimensions hwd, without stand : 56 x 96 x 5. Image quality on the two was basically a wash in our tests, however, and we liked Roku's smart TV system better overall, but if you don't want the TCL for some reason -- or if it's more expensive at the time -- this Vizio is an excellent choice.
Read our Vizio V-Series review. Its image quality isn't quite as good as the Vizio or TCL, but at this price that's not a major knock.
The Samsung Q60A is more expensive than any of the other TVs on this list, but it's also better in pretty much every way. It's got a slimmer, sleeker design, more features including a solar-powered remote and slightly better picture quality.
The other sets on this list are better values, but if you want something nicer in this size the Q60A is a great choice. Read our Samsung Q60A series review. Looking for even more info?
