Our take on the TCL 65S433 UHD Series Roku 4K Smart TV
The TCL 65S433 is a 65-inch 4K LED smart TV in TCL's UHD S series, running the Roku TV operating system. It covers the basics well: 4K resolution, HDR support, and Roku's simple interface with built-in streaming apps and a voice-capable remote. It suits budget-minded buyers who want a big screen for streaming, sports and casual gaming in a living room or den. Against rivals at the same tier, it trades the brighter panels and full-array local dimming of step-up models for a straightforward edge-lit picture and Roku's easy navigation.
- Roku TV interface is simple and fast to learn
- 4K resolution with HDR support
- Large 65-inch screen for the money
- Built-in streaming apps and voice remote
- Three HDMI inputs cover a console, cable box and streamer
What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's S-series Roku TVs generally like the easy Roku interface and the value of a big 4K screen. Picture quality is considered good for streaming and everyday TV, though not a match for brighter, dimming-equipped sets.

Questions and answers
- Is the TCL 65S433 a good TV for streaming?
- Yes. Roku TV is built in, so Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and other apps are ready after setup. 4K detail is good for streaming, though the panel is not bright enough for strong HDR.
- Does it support HDR?
- It accepts HDR10 content, but the edge-lit panel has limited brightness, so HDR highlights look flatter than on brighter sets.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- It has three HDMI inputs, enough for a console, a cable box and a streaming stick, plus USB for media.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It handles casual gaming fine, but it lacks the high refresh rate and low-latency gaming features of step-up models, so serious gamers should look higher in the range.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most owners find the built-in speakers thin. A soundbar noticeably improves movies and sports.
- How does it compare with TCL's 5-series?
- The 5-series adds full-array local dimming and higher brightness for better contrast. The S433 is the simpler, more affordable option.
