Our take on the TCL 43S435 43-inch 4K UHD Smart LED TV (2021)

The TCL 43S435 is a budget 43-inch 4K LED TV with HDR-10 support, three HDMI ports and a 60 Hz panel. Its strengths are value and a simple smart platform with the major streaming apps; its weaknesses are modest brightness and contrast, which show up in dark scenes and bright rooms. It suits a bedroom, dorm or secondary room where a sharp 4K picture matters more than deep blacks. Against pricier 43-inch sets it gives up peak brightness, wide viewing angles and gaming features, but covers the basics for casual viewing.
