  • I wouldn't have a 4K TV if not for the crazy value of the S405
  • No lie this TV is absolutely incredible, great value and the picture is insane
  • All in all great value for the price which is hard to beat
  • This TV is a great value in terms of price to picture quality and features.

Reviews around feature (4.54 of 5)

  • TV has a nice picture, great smart features and some minor annoyances at a rock bottom price
  • Using a USB to record/rewind Over the Air TV is a nice feature but doesn't always work properly
  • This TV has so many great features and the picture is beautiful

Reviews around deal (4.53 of 5)

  • It's not a big deal, but it kind of annoys me that they do this to their customers for the sake of making some marketing money.
  • Bought this tv thought it was a great deal for a 55" 4k tv with 120hz,.
  • I did mount this TV to the wall using a great mount I bought here on Amazon, which is an insane deal for $19.
  • For the price that you’re paying for this this is a great deal
  • This TV does it all - seriously its a great deal for the price

Reviews around roku (4.45 of 5)

  • The roku platform I found easy to use, but annoying to "register" items on a desktop in order to use them.
  • Picture quality is fine for me, and the ROKU app so easy to use and switch between input sources, unlike my "Smart" Samsung TV.
  • I love ROKU but wish they would invest in a better quality TV.
  • The screen is crystal clear ( stunning quality) and the roku on it is lightning fast
  • I was forced to resort to numerous internet searches to finally get the TV setup the way I wanted (such as defaulting to using DirecTV as my input instead of the standard Roku splash screen which then forces one to use the annoying little Roku remote).

Reviews around setup (4.34 of 5)

  • Setup was easy and it connected to my PS4 without any problems
  • The setup was easy, just attach the legs to the bottom of the TV with 2 screws each.
  • Price was nice however I had to return it as it could not be setup due to the remote receiver not working.
  • The setup of the TV was rather tedious and I am reasonably competent as far as techie things go.
  • A 55" TV for under $400 with great picture quality and TCL Roku easy setup

Reviews around color (3.94 of 5)

  • The picture is bright and crisp with bright colors and the TV has a 4K resolution
  • , if your have the same problem , i simply just boost the color option to 80 , that gave my vibrant colors and more life back
  • Regular movies and TV shows from Amazon also have a very crisp and clear picture and color
  • The gray uniformity isn't very good, you will see a slight amount of backlight bleed when looking at darker colors besides pure
  • everything is an upgrade, but all my fears about bad colors and so on vanished immediately

Reviews around button (2.38 of 5)

  • Uncomfortable to hold, no numerical buttons for when you’re watching antenna/cable TV, and the volume/mute buttons are positioned on the side of the remote, at an angle
  • No buttons on the unit - you loose the remote and it won't work.
  • There are no buttons on the TV so don't lose the remote
  • My ROKU box has regular u-tube which I like, but this TV has U-tube TV which is a subscribe thing like Netflix

  • Did,t like the fact I had to pay another 120.00 to activate the (Roku) app fell very taken for a fool
  • I have my PC connected to this TV to do some 4k gaming, but often times the TV forces 30hz (even when setting the connection to HDMI 2.0) and requires a hard reset to get the TV to go back to 60hz.3
  • The TV has a wired connection to my router, but every couple of days it disconnects and requires a hard reset (unplugging and plugging back in, then waiting for the TV to fully boot, this takes upwards of 90 seconds) to reconnect
  • the picture is great no 'fuzzies' on dark or black screens and is running really smooth on my xbox one s for 4k, super easy set up and overall really happy i got this
  • At launch the PS4 Pro had a bunch of games with a increased resolution but only a handful featured HDR, a year has passed since the launch of the Pro and now we have the PS4,Pro,Xbox One S and X all fully capable of HDR with a bunch of games now supporting HDR.The jump from SDR to HDR seems pretty small at

Reviews around noise (2.28 of 5)

  • As far as watching movies or really anything with loud noises, you're going to want a 5.1 sound system if you don't want to have to constantly adjust the volume up/down (which starts to feel like a carnival game due to the remote response).All in all I wish I had gone with a different brand and

Reviews around line (2.09 of 5)

  • If I could give this tv 0 stars I would, I purchased this tv 3 months ago and the circuit board is already messed up, causing lines to come up in the screen, biggest waste of money out there almost, save your money and spend the extra hundred to get a good one.
  • There is sometimes a line that runs down the center of the screen that makes the picture appear divided... like #1... this isn't all the time and can be remedied by turning the tv on and off OR if streaming, tuning the stream on and off
  • great picture, nice sound, the simplest remote i've ever seen, a breeze to set up, clean lines, all-in-
  • One issue I had with the TV screen showing a line through it shortly after purchasing the TV, TCL was quick to send me a return box for returning the TV

Reviews around scene (1.71 of 5)

  • If u want a good 4k smart TV n don't wanna dish hundreds more
  • It struggles a little with dark scenes with deep blacks.
  • the difference in picture quality is stunning--the blacks are actually black, skin tones are natural and the sickly green miasma that dominated the outdoor daylight scenes is gone.
  • Low light is okay, but when its an extremely dark scene, you can see the color bleed pretty badly when light shows.
