Great mid-sized bargain TV!
I previously posted a review of Insignia’s 55” LED 1080p TV. This will be both a review for the 43”, as well as a bit of an extension for the other review, to mention things I didn’t get to before, and to further promote Insignia’s line of televisions. This is the third of four Insignia televisions I have purchased, the first and second being the 24” and 32”, and the fourth being the 55”. Overall, I have been very, very pleased with their performance. I mostly have used them for playing on my game consoles and to watch my DVDs and Blu-Rays, and they looked great on all of these units. Each new Insignia I got improved on the viewing experience from the previous, and now it’s like I have my own mini theater right in my own bedroom. Initial setup is simple and straight forward. There are different tabs for different aspects of the screen you want to configure, such as one for the visuals, one for audio, one for the channels, etc. For the tab that deals with the visual display, I like to keep it at the Vivid setting with slight adjustments, for those bright, vibrant colors. The sound coming straight from the units themselves are fair enough, but you can tell it’s coming from the TV, I’m not sure how to describe it. It’s almost more like a monaural sound, not stereo. I would suggest attaching some kind of speaker system if you really want better audio quality. Also, I like how the HDMI ports go to the side, not straight out backwards. This helps save much depth space, and your cables won’t be so scrunched up close to the wall. As of this writing, I haven’t used any of my Insignias to watch any actual cable channels just yet, and I’ll leave that to those reviewers who have used these units for TV watching purposes. But coming from how great all these screens run video games and Blu-Rays and DVDs, I’m sure the picture is great for watching channels as well. For being, I heard, the store brand of televisions for Best Buy, Insignia is not a bad choice. I think they are able to mass produce these lines of television so it is more available to more of the population. But don’t be fooled. Yes, Insignia does have Smart TV and 4K versions of some its screens, but the non-Smart TVs and 720s and 1080s work just as well for those who don’t need/use all those extra bells and whistles, and/or who are fine with those resolutions for now. 4K will be around for a while; you can always choose to invest in 4K later. It may be the new thing as of now, but who knows? Another handful of years down the line, and the new thing might be 8K, or 16K. If you’re one of those on a tight budget, but looking for just a good-quality television that does the job, look no further than the Insignia fleet of bargain televisions. Other brands of TVs of even similar sizes could be twice the cost or more. Need a good modern flat-screen that won’t nickel and dime you? You’ve found them. I would like to stand by Insignia’s statement in their aim to bring “simple, focused products [that] give you what you need to make the everyday a little easier.” I would also once again like to thank Insignia and Best Buy for making owning a flat-screen much more accessible and affordable for the masses.

Works Great with ROKU
Wanted a bigger TV for basement. Use ROKU, so don't have need for a Smart TV. Putting a ROKU Streaming Stick on your dumb TV will make it smart. Great price. Picture looks good. It's a bit slow changing from one channel to another, but that's no big deal. The placement of the legs of the TV made it too big for my TV stand. So, I removed the feet and ordered a Table-Top TV stand from Amazon and it works great. A little extra cost, but I got such a great price on the TV, it was worth it not having to get a new TV stand or jerry-rig the present one. I knew this Insignia brand was decent, cuz I purchased a small one for countertop in kitchen. Picture's great on that, too.
