Is the TCL 4-Series good for gaming?

It works for casual gaming, but the 60Hz panel and modest input lag are not aimed at competitive play. A dedicated gaming monitor or a higher-tier TV suits fast games better.

Yes, it accepts HDR content, but the panel's limited brightness means the HDR effect is subtle rather than dramatic.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

It has four HDMI ports, enough for a console, a streaming stick and a cable box at once.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. It supports Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri, so you can control basics by voice through a compatible device.

Is it good for a bright room?

Not ideal. Low peak brightness makes the picture look dim in strong daylight, so a darker room suits it better.

Our take on the TCL 4-Series 43-inch

The TCL 4-Series is a budget 4K LED TV built on the Roku smart platform. It covers the basics well: 4K resolution, HDR support, three HDMI inputs and a simple Roku interface with a compact remote. Picture quality is entry-level, with 60Hz refresh and modest brightness, so it suits a bedroom, guest room or casual living-room set more than a bright room or a serious home theater. Against pricier 4K sets it gives up contrast, brightness and motion handling, but it is one of the simplest TVs to set up and use.
