Is the TCL S4 good for gaming?

It handles casual console play, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of variable refresh rate make it a poor fit for fast competitive gaming.

Does the TCL S4 have Google TV?

Yes. It runs Google TV with Google Assistant built in, and it also works with Alexa and Siri.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Four HDMI ports, enough for a console, soundbar and two streaming devices.

Is the TCL S4 good in a dark room?

No. Its edge-lit LED panel gives weak contrast and gray blacks, so it suits bright rooms better than dark home theaters.

Yes, it accepts HDR content, but brightness is limited, so the improvement over standard 4K is modest.

Should I buy the 65-inch or 75-inch version?

The 75-inch suits larger rooms and longer viewing distances; the 65-inch is easier to place in typical living rooms.

Where is the TCL S4 65-inch cheapest?

At Walmart, for $328.00, as of our latest check.

Our take on the TCL S4 65-inch

The TCL S4 is a budget 4K LED TV with a 60 Hz panel, HDR support and four HDMI ports. It runs the Google TV smart platform with Google Assistant built in, and it also works with Alexa and Siri. It suits shoppers who want a big screen for casual viewing, streaming and sports without paying for premium picture tech. Against rivals like the Hisense A4 and Amazon Fire TV models, it trades brightness and contrast for a low entry point and a full smart platform. Reviewers call it a solid value for secondary rooms and bright living spaces, but not a set for dark-room movie fans.
