What is the difference between a 3 amp fuse and a 13 amp fuse?

The difference between fuses is the current that they are designed to support. A fuse is intended as a safety measure to protect against overload. A 3 amp fuse should burn out if more than 3 amps is run through it, with some allowance for standard variance. A 13 amp fuse would burn out with greater than 13 amps. It is always a bad idea to use a fuse bigger than you need, because if your component is designed for a 3 amp fuse and you use a 13 amp fuse, there is a good chance you could damage your component with too much amperage because the fuse would not burn out at 3 amps, as was intended.

I have never seen a 4 amp fuse, only 3 and 5. The peak power draw and dump is when you switch on and off your TV. Try a 3 amp and if it blows when you turn it on, then no, your particular TV can't use a 3 amp fuse. Don't worry about this test, it shouldn't damage the TV and fuses cost so little.
