Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming, but the 60Hz refresh rate and lack of variable refresh rate make it a weak pick for fast competitive games. A console will run fine at 4K 60Hz.

Does it need a soundbar?

The built-in 10W + 10W speakers are fine for news and sitcoms but thin for movies. Most owners pair it with a soundbar or speakers.

What is included in the box?

The TV, a Roku voice remote, a stand and power cable are included. A voice-enabled remote with a headphone jack is sold separately.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. You can use voice control through the Roku mobile app and compatible Siri, Alexa and Google devices to launch apps and switch inputs.

Is it bright enough for a sunny room?

It is best in a dim or average-lit room. In direct sunlight the picture can look washed out compared with brighter, pricier sets.

How does it compare with TCL's 5-Series?

The 5-Series adds quantum dot color and better brightness and contrast. The 4-Series is the cheaper pick for basic streaming.

Our take on the TCL 55" Class 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Smart Roku TV

The TCL 4-Series is a 55-inch 4K LED TV with HDR and the Roku smart platform built in. It covers the basics well: 4K upscaling for HD content, HDR for brighter color, and Roku's home screen with the free Live TV Channel Guide and The Roku Channel. It is a 60Hz panel with 10W + 10W speakers, so it suits everyday streaming, cable and sports in a living room or bedroom rather than serious gaming or a bright, light-filled room. Against rivals it wins on the Roku interface and free-channel lineup; step-up sets from TCL and others add wider color, higher brightness and smoother motion for more money.
