looking for a good 40" 4k tv... - Blu-ray Forum

guizhang · 09-13-2020, 07:38 PM

Hi guys,

having some difficulty finding a 4k set at this size for my bedroom. i see that there's a TLC tv, but it's 43". my current 1080p tv is 39" i believe, and it fits nicely in the small alcove in my room. not sure i can go up to 43" and have it fit. as it is right now, it gets kind of annoying having to switch up the hdmi inputs

so i'd like something that would fit nicely and also provide good picture quality/hdr.

any advice would be appreciated

i'll post a picture of my current 39" 1080p tv and how it fits

I'm pretty sure that you can get a 43" TV to fit without a problem. If you have a measuring tape, just measure it diagonally and it tell you exactly if it will fit. A 42" will do perfectly.

I had a similar dilemma looking for my last TV. 40" was the maximum I thought I could fit, but there were so few (next to none in stock) at that size, I went up to 43". Just about managed to squeeze it in.

Measure the width of the space you have and see what is available that will fit there. Any place that has a TV listed online for purchase will have the dimensions of it as well.

thanks guys. so the 43” TCL has a width of 38.2” according to the product description on amazon. using a tape measurer, the available space i have is 38.6”~.
i also took a screenshot of the “view in room” function on amazon. yeah it’s very close. only issue would be that itd be a major ordeal whenever i want to switch out inputs

hmmm... this is tempting. feels silly that a smaller tv costs more than a larger one, but i think it;ll be a more comfortable fit

I don't know if you noticed this, but it says in the "Features & Details" section that it's a refurb, in case that matters to you.

If you have enough devices that you need to switch cables out all the time I would suggest getting an HDMI switcher. Well worth not having to go through the hassle of switching cables. Plus it saves on wear and tear on the inputs.

This is great advice. Constantly plugging & unplugging cables can wear out jacks/inputs very quickly.

guizhang · 09-14-2020, 12:20 AM

yeah, i'll grab an hdmi switch. thanks for the advice

well i went with this

no headphone jack is a bummer, but i think i can use an rca/3.55mm adapter for that.

i hope motion smoothing isn't going to be an issue. i read that some tvs have it set to ON by default without the option to turn off

One problem you hopefully will not have is will be legs of the TV fit on your stand. Some TVs allow you to reverse the legs so they can go inward.
