  • Our take on the TCL 43" S5K 4K UHD Smart TV (2025 Model)

    The TCL S5K is a 43-inch Google TV sold as a 4K QLED set, though the listed panel resolution reads 1920 x 1080 and brightness is a modest 300 nits. It covers HDR10, runs Google TV with 16GB of storage, and has three HDMI inputs, two USB ports and 24W Dolby Audio speakers. It suits a bedroom, kitchen or small living room where a bright, wide-viewing-angle picture matters less than streaming apps built in. Against rivals it is a budget-tier set: 60Hz only, no local dimming, and no support for Dolby Vision or a 120Hz mode, so gamers and movie buffs should look higher in the range.

    • Panel uniformityCriticisedSome units show clouding or light bleed in dark scenes.
    • ValuePraisedBuyers feel they get a large smart screen for the outlay.
    • DurabilityCriticisedA number of owners report the set failing within a couple of years.

    Questions and answers

    Is this TV really 4K?
    The listing names it 4K but the panel resolution is given as 1920 x 1080, which is Full HD. Check the resolution on the set you receive before relying on 4K streaming.
    Is it good for gaming?
    Only for casual play. It is 60Hz with no variable refresh rate or 120Hz mode, so fast games will show motion blur and no console 120fps support.
    Does it support Dolby Vision?
    No. HDR support is limited to HDR10, so Dolby Vision content from Netflix or Disney+ plays in standard HDR.
    What is in the box?
    The TV, a stand, a remote and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
    Can I mount it on a wall?
    Yes, it has standard VESA mounting points, though the bracket is sold separately. The 43-inch size is light enough for most basic mounts.
    Is Google TV easy to use?
    Yes. Google TV aggregates apps and recommendations, and setup with a Google account takes a few minutes. Storage is 16GB, so heavy app installs will need managing.
    Where is the TCL 43" S5K 4K UHD Smart TV (2025 Model) cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $295.10, as of our latest check.
