TCL S4-Series 65" 4K Roku TV vs TCL Q Class QLED Google TV

Buy the TCL Q Class if picture quality matters: its QLED panel, High Brightness+ backlight and Dolby Vision/HDR10+ support beat the S4's plain LED and basic HDR. Buy the S4 if you want the simplest smart TV experience and Roku's clean interface, or you mainly watch cable and casual streaming. The Q Class is the better-built, better-specified set and the one most reviewers and owners would step up to; the S4 is the value pick and its 4.5 rating from over 10,000 buyers shows it satisfies people who want a no-fuss 65-inch 4K TV.

  • Choose the TCL S4 if you want Roku's simple home screen, a remote with fewer buttons, and a straightforward 65-inch 4K TV for broadcast and streaming.
  • Choose the TCL Q Class if you care about color, brightness and HDR quality, or you game and want 120 VRR, Dolby Atmos and Google TV with voice control.

Questions and answers

Which is better for movies?
The Q Class. Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and the brighter QLED panel give it more contrast and color in dark and bright scenes than the S4's standard LED HDR.
Which is better for gaming?
