Our take on the TCL 55S455 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Roku Smart TV
The TCL 55S455 is a 55-inch 4K LCD TV in TCL's entry-level 4-Series, running the Roku smart TV platform. It supports HDR playback and covers the basics well: a simple Roku interface, a built-in tuner and plenty of HDMI inputs for consoles and streaming sticks. It suits budget buyers and secondary rooms more than videophiles, since its edge-lit panel and modest brightness trail the mini-LED and full-array sets TCL sells higher up the range. Owners tend to like the Roku software and the value; picture quality in bright rooms and off-angle viewing are the usual compromises.
- Roku platform is fast to learn and covers all major streaming apps
- Native 4K resolution with HDR support
- Three HDMI inputs, enough for a console and a couple of streamers
- Simple remote and voice search through the Roku app
- Straightforward setup and channel-based input switching

Questions and answers
- Is the TCL 55S455 good for gaming?
- It handles casual console gaming, but the 60Hz panel and modest brightness mean it is not aimed at competitive play. Serious gamers should look at sets with higher refresh rates and HDMI 2.1.
- Does it support HDR?
- Yes, it accepts HDR content, but the panel's limited brightness means the effect is subtle rather than dramatic.
- What is the difference from TCL's 5-Series and 6-Series?
- The 4-Series is TCL's entry line with an edge-lit panel. The 5-Series and 6-Series step up to full-array local dimming and, on the 6-Series, mini-LED for better contrast and brightness.
- Does it have a built-in tuner?
- Yes, it has an ATSC tuner, so it works with an antenna for over-the-air channels without a separate box.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- It has three HDMI inputs, enough for a console and a couple of streaming devices.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes, it has VESA mounting points on the back, so a standard wall bracket works.
