Our take on the TCL 65R635 65" QLED 4K HDR Smart TV with Roku

The TCL 65R635 is a 65-inch 4K QLED TV in TCL's 6-Series, running the Roku smart TV platform. It uses quantum-dot film for wide color and full-array local dimming for deeper blacks than edge-lit budget sets. It suits buyers who want strong HDR picture quality and Roku's simple interface without stepping up to OLED. Against rivals like the Hisense H9G and Vizio P-Series Quantum, it gives up some peak brightness and contrast but is easier to live with day to day.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL 65R635 good for gaming?

Yes. It has a dedicated game mode with low input lag, which suits PlayStation and Xbox play. It does not offer HDMI 2.1 features like 4K at 120Hz.

Does it have full-array local dimming?

Yes. The backlight is divided into zones that dim independently, which improves black levels over edge-lit TVs. Some blooming around bright objects is still visible.

What smart platform does it use?

It runs Roku TV, with the Roku home screen, remote and app store built in. Roku is generally considered fast and easy to navigate.

How does it compare with OLED TVs?

It gets brighter than most OLEDs and costs far less, but OLED gives per-pixel blacks and much wider viewing angles. The 65R635 is the better pick for bright rooms.

Does it support HDR formats?

It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, so most streaming HDR content plays correctly. It does not support HDR10+.

What is in the box?

The TV, a Roku voice remote, a stand and power cable are included. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not.
