14 owner reviews, fewer 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 43R4A4 is a 43-inch 4K UHD LED panel running at 60 Hz, priced at $299.88. For a 43-inch 4K set at that price, the cost-per-inch ratio is reasonable. The TV includes Ethernet alongside HDMI and Wi-Fi, which is a small but useful advantage for anyone who wants a wired internet connection for more stable streaming.
The chassis dimensions are 37.9 by 22.4 by 3.4 inches, and the TV weighs 34 pounds. That weight is manageable for wall mounting, and the relatively slim depth keeps the profile tidy. The smart TV platform is not specified in the available specs, so check the product page to confirm what software ships on it.
With 14 reviews and a 4.9-star average, the early feedback is strongly positive, though the sample is still small enough to treat with some caution. At this size and price, the 43R4A4 competes well in the entry-level 4K segment, particularly if you value wired Ethernet connectivity that many budget sets leave out.
Pros
- 4K UHD resolution at a competitive $299.88 price for 43 inches
- Ethernet port included for wired, stable streaming connections
- Very high 4.9-star early rating from 14 buyers
- 34 lb weight makes wall mounting straightforward
- Slim 3.4-inch depth
Cons
- Smart TV platform not confirmed in available specs
- Only 14 reviews, not enough to judge long-term reliability
- No HDR support listed

43-inch 4K UHD LED panel at 60 Hz. Dimensions: 37.9 by 22.4 by 3.4 inches, 34 lb. Connectivity: Ethernet, HDMI, Wi-Fi. No HDR listed. Wired Ethernet is a meaningful inclusion at this price tier for stable 4K streaming.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the 43R4A4 cost more than some 50-inch TVs?
Pricing in the TV market does not always scale strictly with screen size. Brand, smart platform, feature set, and supply chain timing all affect price. This 43-inch model sits at $299.88, while some 50-inch budget sets from lesser-known brands occasionally dip below that figure. The Roku brand name and the included Ethernet port are part of what you are paying for here.
Does this TV support an antenna for over-the-air channels?
Most 4K TVs include an ATSC tuner for over-the-air reception via a coaxial antenna connection. The spec sheet does not explicitly list a tuner for this model, so confirm on the product page if antenna use is important to you. A digital antenna connected via coax is typically the clearest way to get local broadcast channels.
Is 43 inches big enough for a living room?
It depends on viewing distance. At 43 inches, comfortable viewing is typically from 5.5 to 7 feet away. For a medium-size living room or a seating arrangement close to the screen, 43 inches works well. For larger rooms with viewing distances of 10 feet or more, a 55-inch or larger panel would be a better fit.
