Our take on the Roku LED (2DayShip) g 4K HDR 2020 55¡ä¡ä inch Smart TV Ultra HD TCL
The TCL 55S431 is a 55-inch 4K LED smart TV with HDR and the Roku operating system built in. It covers the basics well: 4K resolution, HDR playback, three HDMI inputs, USB, and the Roku home screen with search across major streaming apps. It suits budget buyers who want a big screen for streaming shows, sports and casual gaming rather than a premium home-theater panel. Against rivals like the TCL 4-Series and Hisense A-series, it trades peak brightness and wide viewing angles for a simple, fast interface and low cost of entry.
- Native 4K resolution with HDR support
- Roku smart platform with broad app coverage
- Three HDMI inputs plus USB for accessories
- Simple remote and fast app switching
- Straightforward setup for non-technical users
What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's entry 4K Roku sets generally describe them as good value for streaming and everyday TV, with the Roku interface singled out as easy to use. Complaints tend to focus on average picture brightness, weak built-in sound and the limits of a budget panel.

Questions and answers
- Is this TV good for streaming?
- Yes. It runs the Roku system, so Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and most major apps are built in and searchable from one screen. The 4K panel handles streaming content well for an entry-level set.
- Does it support HDR?
- It supports HDR playback, but the panel's limited brightness means the effect is subtle compared with brighter mid-range TVs. Expect a modest improvement rather than a dramatic one.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- It has three HDMI inputs plus a USB port, enough for a console, a streaming stick and a soundbar or receiver.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It is fine for casual console play, but it lacks high refresh rate and variable refresh rate, so competitive gamers should look at sets with those features.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Many owners add one. The built-in speakers are adequate for news and sitcoms but sound thin for movies and music.
- What comes in the box?
- The TV, a Roku remote, a stand and power cable are included. A wall mount and HDMI cables are sold separately.
