Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles 4K at 60 Hz, which is fine for casual console play. It lacks 120 Hz and variable refresh rate, so serious gamers should look at a higher-tier set.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. It supports standard HDR10 and HDR10+, not Dolby Vision. The HDR effect is modest on an edge-lit LED panel.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI ports, plus Bluetooth for wireless audio and Anynet+ CEC for controlling connected devices with one remote.

Is 43 inches big enough for a living room?

It suits bedrooms and small rooms with seating about 5 to 7 feet away. For a main living room, most buyers prefer 55 inches or larger.

Our take on the Samsung 43" TV

The Samsung 43" TV is a 43-inch 4K Crystal UHD LED television with a 60 Hz panel, 4K upscaling and the Tizen smart platform with Samsung TV Plus. It has three HDMI ports, Bluetooth, Anynet+ HDMI-CEC and a slim three-bezel-less design. It is a budget-to-midrange set aimed at bedrooms, small living rooms and secondary rooms rather than a premium home-theater centerpiece.
