Our take on the Element 43" Class 4K UHD (2160p) LED Smart Xumo TV E550AC43C

The Element E550AC43C is a 43-inch 4K LED smart TV built around Xumo TV, a streaming-first platform with over 250 apps and 750-plus free live channels. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, has three HDMI ports, a Xumo voice remote, and Apple AirPlay. The panel is a 60 Hz native display rated at 300 nits with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, so it suits everyday streaming rather than bright rooms or serious gaming. It is a budget set; check the current price against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is this TV actually 120 Hz?
No. The panel is 60 Hz native. The 120 Hz figure in the description refers to an effective motion rate, not a true 120 Hz refresh rate.
Is it good for gaming?
It is fine for casual gaming at 4K 60 Hz, but it lacks HDMI 2.1, variable refresh rate and low-latency game modes found on gaming TVs.
Does it work with a soundbar or game console?
Yes. It has three HDMI inputs, and Bluetooth lets you pair wireless audio. Connect a soundbar over HDMI or optical to fix the weak built-in sound.
What is Xumo TV, and can I add apps?
Xumo TV is a streaming platform with 250+ preloaded apps and 750+ free live channels. You can install additional apps from its store, though the selection is smaller than Roku or Google TV.
Does it support AirPlay and voice control?
Yes. Apple AirPlay and Home are built in, and the included Xumo voice remote handles voice search.
When is it cheapest?
Budget TVs like this one usually drop during Black Friday, back-to-school and end-of-year sales. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
