Tips & Recommendations
Optimal Viewing Distance
For your 43" TV, sit approximately 5.7 feet away for the best viewing experience. This distance provides immersion without eye strain.
Room Lighting
Avoid placing your 43" TV opposite windows to reduce glare. Use bias lighting (LED strips behind the TV) to reduce eye strain during dark scenes.
Picture Calibration
Out-of-box settings are often too bright. Switch to "Cinema" or "Movie" mode for accurate colors. Disable motion smoothing (soap opera effect) for film content.
