Questions and answers
- Is the TCL S5 good for gaming?
- It handles casual gaming at 4K 60 Hz, but it lacks HDMI 2.1, 120 Hz and VRR, so it is not ideal for competitive console gaming.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. The set supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos decoding, though the built-in 2-channel speakers limit the Atmos effect.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- Three HDMI inputs, plus built-in Wi-Fi for streaming apps through Google TV.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes. It ships with a stand but is VESA-mountable; check the VESA pattern for the 50-inch model before buying a bracket.
- Is it worth it over the TCL Q-series?
- The Q-series adds mini-LED backlighting and better contrast for more money. The S5 is the better pick if budget is the priority.
