344 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The 43A7N is a 43-inch LED TV running 4K UHD resolution at 60 Hz. Physical dimensions are 2.9 x 37.9 x 22 inches and weight comes in at 24 pounds, making it manageable for one-person wall mounting. Connectivity is thorough, covering Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi.', "Google TV is the smart platform, which means access to the Google Play Store, Chromecast casting, and voice search through Google Assistant. That is a step above platforms that rely on a closed app store, since Google TV's library covers the vast majority of streaming services without needing a separate streaming stick.", 'The 60 Hz panel is the main functional limitation. For regular streaming, cable, and broadcast TV it is perfectly fine. Gamers who want smooth 120 Hz gameplay or buyers who watch a lot of live sports with fast camera pans will notice some motion blur. Outside of that narrow use case, the 43A7N covers the basics well for its price.']

What buyers say
The 4.2 rating from 344 reviews indicates a solid level of owner satisfaction without being exceptional. The review count is large enough to be meaningful but not dominant in the way a product with thousands of ratings would be. Buyers appear to value the picture quality and Google TV integration at the price, with few signals of systematic quality problems.

Frequently asked questions
What streaming services are available on Google TV?
Google TV supports a wide range of streaming services including Netflix, Disney Plus, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, and many others through the Google Play Store. The platform also integrates free ad-supported channels and allows you to cast content from a phone or tablet using Chromecast built-in.
Is the Hisense 43A7N good for a bedroom?
Yes. At 43 inches it is on the larger side for a bedroom but works well in rooms that can accommodate it at 6 to 8 feet viewing distance. The 4K resolution looks sharp, and Google TV makes it easy to navigate apps without a separate streaming device. The 24-pound weight makes wall mounting manageable for most setups.
Does the 43A7N support Ethernet, or is it Wi-Fi only?
Both. The 43A7N includes an Ethernet port for a wired network connection and built-in Wi-Fi for wireless. Using Ethernet typically produces a more stable streaming connection with fewer buffering interruptions, which is worth doing if your router is nearby. Wi-Fi is convenient when a cable run is not practical.
