Is the TCL 55S435 good for gaming?

It is fine for casual play at 4K 60 Hz, but it has no variable refresh rate or high refresh mode. Competitive gamers should look at sets with HDMI 2.1 features.

Does it need a soundbar?

Most owners add one. The built-in speakers are adequate for news but thin for movies and music.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. It uses a 200 x 300 mm VESA pattern, and the tabletop stand is removable.

Which voice assistants work with it?

It works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, and also through the Roku mobile app.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three. That covers a console, a soundbar and one spare device for most households.

Is it a good TV for a bright room?

It is better suited to dimmer rooms. Brightness is modest, so HDR highlights and daytime glare are weaker than on pricier sets.
