Diagonal - 43 inches (108 cm), display resolution - 1920 × 1080 px (Full HD), refresh rate - 50 Hz. Direct LED backlight, LEDs are evenly distributed under the LCD matrix, which ensures uniform brightness, no glare. The viewing angles declared by the manufacturer reach 178 °. They are really good: if you look at the screen from an angle, the image practically does not change, it loses a little in color. With Active Noise Reduction technology, noise is eliminated, and the image becomes more detailed, sharper.

The TV case is made in a standard black color with a silver design on the front panel, placed on several stands. There is a wall mount, the size of the mount is 200 × 100 mm, the weight of the TV without a stand is 7.2 kg. Dimensions - 970 × 616 × 220 mm.
Connectors

- RJ-45 (Ethernet) connector - for connecting an Internet cable.
Sound
The total sound power is 16 W, the speaker system is 2 built-in speakers of 8 W each. This is enough for comfortable watching movies. But if this sound power is not enough for you, you can connect additional acoustics through the 3.5 mm audio output.
Functions
Smart TV - the capabilities of a TV are comparable to a computer: it easily copes with web browsing, videos, games. At the heart of the "smart" functionality of Thomson T43FSL5140 is an operating system based on Android 7.0. You can install many applications for it. It is very easy to operate, configure, but very often slows down, freezes when watching movies online and when installing downloaded applications. The TV spontaneously turns off due to freezing of Smart TV.
Video recording - it is possible to record terrestrial channels to memory media and USB drives.
Time Shift is a function that allows you to stop the on-air TV program at any time and record it in order to continue watching from the moment of pause at another time.

Verdict
The T43FSL5140 turned out to be quite interesting and modern.Thomson engineers decided to keep up with the times and chose the Android 7.0 operating system for Smart TV. The system is good, popular, there are many free applications on the network for it, but the developers did not take into account that their TV is simply not able to play content without freezes. This is a big minus of the model. Because of this, the TV constantly reboots, slows down - in general, it causes great discomfort. In all other respects this is a good model with a good screen, sound quality, large screen diagonal. The price of the model is 19,500 rubles. I believe that this is more than an acceptable price for a TV with such a diagonal. But if the screen size does not come first for you, I would advise you the model Kivi 32FR50BR - it is more functional, more technological, and the price is lower - 15,500 rubles.
