The listed options do not include an exact 42-inch television, but they offer close 40- and 43-inch alternatives. The INSIGNIA 43-inch 4K Fire TV and Roku 43-inch 4K Select Series are best for shoppers prioritizing resolution; the 40-inch models suit buyers who prefer Full HD. The monTEK mount is an accessory option for compatible TVs, not a television.

INSIGNIA 43-Inch F50 Series 4K Fire TV
Best for: Buyers who want a screen close to 42 inches with 4K resolution and Amazon Fire TV features. Its 43-inch display provides 4K UHD resolution, HDR10, and upscaling for current content. Fire TV brings supported streaming services and free streaming channels together on the television.
The Alexa Voice Remote supports voice control. Choose this model if you want a larger-than-40-inch option and access to a broad selection of streaming apps. Subscriptions may be required for some services, and feature or content availability can vary.
Roku 43-Inch Select Series 4K TV
Best for: Viewers who want a 43-inch 4K television with Roku’s straightforward interface. The listed features include 2160p 4K resolution, HDR10, fast Wi-Fi, and Roku Smart Picture, which optimizes incoming signals and selects a picture mode.
Its simple home screen and uncluttered remote are useful for households that value easy navigation. Choose it over the INSIGNIA 43-inch if Roku’s interface is your preference. The supplied details do not specify voice-control features, so avoid choosing it specifically for Alexa voice commands.
INSIGNIA 40-Inch F40 Series Full HD Fire TV
Best for: Shoppers who want a compact smart TV with Fire TV and Alexa voice control. This 40-inch model has 1080p Full HD resolution. Its Alexa Voice Remote can search across apps, launch content, switch inputs, and control entertainment by voice.
Fire TV provides access to streaming apps, channels, and Alexa skills. Choose this model if 40 inches fits your room better than 43 inches or if voice-operated controls matter. Its main trade-off compared with the 43-inch options is Full HD rather than 4K resolution.
Roku 40-Inch Select Series Full HD TV
Best for: Buyers furnishing a bedroom, kitchen, or other space where a 40-inch Full HD screen is suitable. Roku Smart Picture optimizes incoming TV signals, while the simple home screen and remote are designed for easy navigation. The listed features also include fast Wi-Fi, automatic updates, and clear sound.
Choose this TV if Roku’s interface and a smaller screen are more important than 4K resolution. It is not the right pick for someone specifically seeking a 42-inch screen or 4K picture detail.
monTEK Full Motion Small TV Wall Mount
Best for: Owners of a compatible 40- or 43-inch TV who want to swivel, tilt, or extend the screen. The mount is listed for 13- to 43-inch TVs up to 44 pounds, with VESA mounting patterns from 75x75mm to 200x200mm. It extends up to 14.6 inches and offers cable management.
Check your television’s weight and VESA pattern before choosing it. The mount can attach to a single wood stud or concrete or brick walls; the product details warn against installing it on drywall alone. Rotation limits can depend on screen size.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A TV Near 42 Inches
Should you choose 40 or 43 inches?
Measure the space where the TV will sit or mount, including available width and viewing distance. A 40-inch model is the smaller listed option; a 43-inch model is the closest available size above 42 inches. The listings do not provide overall TV dimensions, so confirm the manufacturer’s measurements before buying.
Is 4K worth choosing over Full HD?
The 43-inch options offer 4K resolution, while the 40-inch options provide 1080p Full HD. Choose 4K if higher resolution is a priority or you want HDR features listed on the 43-inch models. Full HD may suit smaller rooms and buyers who prefer a 40-inch screen.
Which smart TV platform should you pick?
Choose Fire TV for the listed Alexa Voice Remote options and Fire TV app access. Choose Roku if you prefer its simple home screen and uncluttered remote. Streaming availability can vary, and some services require subscriptions.
What should you check before wall mounting?
Verify the TV’s weight, VESA pattern, and the wall type against the mount’s specifications. The monTEK mount supports TVs up to 44 pounds and VESA patterns up to 200x200mm. Do not mount it on drywall alone, according to the product details.
