Best 43-inch smart TVs under $100
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 9, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Samsung QLED Q8F 43-inch (2025). It's the newest set here and the only one combining a quantum-dot QLED panel with 4K — noticeably punchier colour and brightness than the budget LED sets, and it's the one I'd buy for a main room.
Who the others suit:
- Samsung Q7F 43-inch (2025) — same QLED 4K family, a step down in processing; good if you want the newest model with a simpler picture engine.
- TCL 43S435 4K Roku TV — the easiest to live with if you like Roku's interface and want 4K on a tight budget.
- Samsung TU8000 / AU8000 Crystal UHD — solid, plain 4K for a bedroom or kitchen.
- Hisense 43H5500G (Android TV) — best if you want Google apps built in; it's 1080p, not 4K.
- Samsung The Frame / Sero — style-led picks for a wall that should look like art.
Skip the LG LF6300 listing: it's listed as 49-inch, not 43.
