Our take on the TCL 55¡± Smart Roku TV 4K Black LED ¨C g
The TCL 55S435 is a 55-inch 4K LED television running the Roku smart TV platform. It covers the basics well: a 2160p panel, HDR support, three HDMI inputs, a TOSLINK digital audio output and an antenna input, with Roku's app library built in. It suits buyers who want a large 4K screen with a simple, well-known smart interface and don't need the brighter panel or local dimming of TCL's step-up 5- and 6-Series sets. Picture quality is fine for everyday streaming and broadcast TV, but it is an entry-level model, so contrast and HDR impact trail pricier rivals.
- Roku smart platform with a large app selection
- 4K 2160p resolution on a 55-inch screen
- HDR support for compatible content
- Three HDMI inputs plus TOSLINK digital audio out
- Simple setup and a remote most people already know
What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's entry 4-Series generally call it a solid value for a big 4K screen and like the Roku interface. Complaints center on picture depth in dark scenes, HDR that looks flat, and weak built-in sound.
- Picture qualityMixedOwners find it fine for everyday viewing but note shallow blacks and limited contrast in dark scenes.
- HDRCriticisedReviewers say HDR content looks flat because the panel lacks local dimming and high brightness.
- Roku interfacePraisedUsers like the familiar Roku home screen, remote and broad app selection.
Questions and answers
- Is this a good TV for a bright living room?
- It is better suited to dimmer rooms. The panel is entry-level, so bright windows and daylight can wash out the picture.
- Does it support HDR?
- Yes, it accepts HDR content, but without local dimming the improvement over standard dynamic range is modest.
- What can I connect to it?
- It has three HDMI inputs, a TOSLINK digital audio output and an antenna input, enough for a streaming stick, console and soundbar.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It handles casual console play, but it lacks the high refresh rate and low-latency gaming features of TCL's step-up models.
- How does it compare with TCL's 5-Series and 6-Series?
- Those step-up lines add better contrast, higher brightness and, on the 6-Series, local dimming. The 4-Series is the budget pick.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most owners find the built-in speakers adequate for news but thin for movies, so a soundbar is a common addition.
