TCL S4-Series 55" 4K Roku TV vs Roku Select Series 55-Inch 4K TV

Both are 55-inch 4K Roku TVs with 60 Hz LED panels, so the picture is close. The TCL S4 gives you four HDMI ports and HDR10, and its huge owner base (over 10,000 ratings at 4.5) says it holds up as a budget workhorse. The Roku Select adds HDR10+ and a few Roku-only conveniences like the lost remote finder and headphone mode, but it has one fewer HDMI port. Buy the TCL if you plug in several devices; buy the Roku if you want the smoothest built-in software touches.

  • Choose the TCL S4 if you need four HDMI inputs or want the model with the longer, larger track record of owner ratings.
  • Choose the Roku Select if HDR10+ support and Roku extras like the lost remote finder and headphone listening matter more to you than a fourth HDMI port.

Questions and answers

Which has the better picture?
They are close. Both are 60 Hz 4K LED panels. The Roku Select adds HDR10+, which can look better on HDR10+ titles, but on most content the difference is small.
Which is better for a game console and soundbar?
The TCL S4. Its four HDMI ports let you connect a console, soundbar and two streamers without a switcher. The Roku Select has three.
Does either support voice control?
The Roku Select ships with a voice remote. The TCL S4 uses a simpler remote with app shortcut buttons and no voice search.
Which lasts longer?
Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. The TCL has far more owner ratings, which gives a broader reliability picture, but both are budget LED sets with similar panel technology.
Is the Roku Select worth stepping up to?
If you want HDR10+, a voice remote, a lost remote finder and headphone listening, yes. If you need more HDMI ports, the TCL is the better fit.
Do both run the same software?
Yes. Both use the Roku TV operating system, so the home screen, app selection and search work the same way.
