WHO IT'S FOR

Buyers who want a 43 inch 4K smart TV under ₹30,000 from a big brand, with Google TV, while keeping ₹5,000 in hand for a soundbar or wall mount. It suits a bedroom or a small living room.

PICTURE QUALITY

A regular LED panel (not QLED) with Vivid Picture Engine 2, a wide colour gamut claim, a listed 5000:1 contrast ratio and Eye Care Mode for low blue light. Natural colours rather than extra-punchy QLED colours. Score: 7.0/10.

RESOLUTION AND HDR

4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Dolby Vision is a real plus at this price. Score: 8.5/10.

BRIGHTNESS

REFRESH RATE AND GAMING

A 60Hz panel with Reality Flow MEMC and a 6.5ms response time. No VRR or ALLM listed. Score: 7.0/10.

PROCESSOR AND SMOOTHNESS

2GB RAM with only 8GB storage. The RAM is fine for smooth menus, but 8GB fills up quickly if you install many apps or games. Score: 7.0/10.

SMART OS AND APPS

Google TV on Android 14, with the Play Store, Google Cast built in and Google Assistant. Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Zee5 are supported. Score: 9.0/10.

PORTS AND CONNECTIVITY

3 HDMI (with eARC), 2 USB, optical out, Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. (The spec table lists only Wi-Fi under wireless, but the bullets list Bluetooth.) Score: 8.0/10.

DESIGN AND BUILD

95.7 × 59.9cm with stands and 6kg. Two stands and screws come in the box. Score: 7.0/10.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

2 years in total: the 1st year comprehensive plus 1 additional year on the display. Xiaomi's service network is large. Score: 8.0/10.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Uninstall apps you do not use to keep the 8GB storage free. Use Dolby Vision mode for Netflix. Turn MEMC off for films if motion looks too smooth.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• •The TV, remote, two AAA batteries, two stands, four screws and power cord (Amazon listing).

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

The Onida 43UFD (₹23,999) is ₹1,000 cheaper with 16GB storage and a better rating, but Fire TV, 20W sound and no Dolby Vision. The VW 50-inch VW50GQ2 (₹25,999) gives you a bigger 50-inch QLED Google TV for ₹1,000 more. The Hisense 43E6S (₹26,488) adds Dolby Atmos and a satellite tuner but costs more.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Dolby Vision, Google TV and a 2-year warranty for about ₹25,000 is good value; the small storage and plain LED panel are the trade-offs. Score: 7.0/10.

VERDICT

The Xiaomi X 43 is the best-value big-brand Google TV with Dolby Vision under ₹30,000. Buy it if you want Xiaomi service and Dolby Vision on a budget. Skip it if you want QLED colour or plan to install lots of apps.
