Which small TV should I choose?
For the best picture in a small size, choose a 42" OLED. For a bright room or an everyday second TV, the 43" Neo QLED is a great choice, and the 32" Q5F suits a kitchen or study.

Screen size is largely personal preference – but in our experience very few customers wish they’d gone smaller, and plenty who choose a smaller screen later wish they’d gone bigger. If this will be your main living-room TV, it’s worth looking at a 48" or 55" too.
Bring your current screen size, the width of your TV unit or wall and your viewing distance to our showroom, and we’ll help you choose. TV size guide · 48" & 50" TVs · 55" TVs
Add a soundbar
Like most slim TVs, the built-in sound is basic. A Sonos soundbar adds clearer vocals, richer bass and Dolby Atmos, and works with your TV remote. Which Sonos soundbar?

Buy your small TV locally – without paying more
We’re an authorised Samsung and LG dealer, family-run in Fleet since 1996.

We deliver free within 10 miles of Fleet and can install and set up your new TV.
What viewing distance suits a 42 or 43-inch TV?
Roughly 1.2 to 2 metres – ideal for a bedroom, kitchen or study, or a desk-based gaming setup. For a 32" TV, about 1 to 1.5 metres. If you sit further back, a 48" or 55" will give a more comfortable picture. Read our TV size guide.
What is the best 42-inch TV?
For picture quality, the 42" OLEDs are hard to beat: the Samsung S90H and LG C6 both have self-lit pixels, 4K and gaming up to 165Hz, which also makes them excellent big gaming monitors. If the room is very bright, the 43" Samsung QN73H Neo QLED is a strong alternative.
How big is a 42 or 43-inch TV?
A 42" TV is about 93 cm wide and 54 cm tall, and a 43" about 97 cm wide and 56 cm tall, before the stand. The 32" Q5F is about 73 cm wide. Note that the 42" LG C6 stands on two feet near the ends of the screen, so it needs a slightly wider unit than its screen.
Can a small TV be wall-mounted?
Yes. All of these TVs use standard VESA fixings, and each TV’s page shows its VESA size and the Vogel’s brackets that fit. Our own team can mount it, hide the cables and set everything up. Our installation service.
