Our take on the TCL 5-Series (S555) 55″
The TCL S555 is a 55-inch 4K QLED smart TV with HDR, a 60 Hz panel and Google TV. Its edge-to-edge glass design and four HDMI ports give it a cleaner look and more hookups than budget rivals. It suits buyers who want bright quantum-dot color and streaming apps without stepping up to a 120 Hz gaming set. Reviewers praise its picture for the money but note narrow viewing angles and only average motion handling.

Questions and answers
- Is the TCL S555 good for gaming?
- It is fine for casual console play, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 mean it is not built for high-frame-rate gaming. Competitive players should look at 120 Hz sets.
- Does it have Google TV or Roku?
- The S555 runs Google TV, not Roku. That means Google Assistant, Chromecast built in and the Google Play app store.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- It has four HDMI inputs, plus USB 2.0 and an Ethernet port. That is more hookups than most budget 55-inch TVs offer.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes. It uses a 400mm x 300mm VESA mount pattern. The included stand has legs set 27.8 inches apart at the narrow position.
- Is the S555 a big upgrade over the older 5-Series?
- It moves to a QLED panel and Google TV, so color and the smart interface are the main gains. Motion and viewing angles remain similar to earlier 5-Series sets.
