TCL 75S425 Review

TCL is best known as a budget TV brand, and it wowed us last year with its premium line, the Editors' Choice 6-series. The TCL 4-series is the company's entry-level 4K line. It uses the same feature-rich Roku TV platform as the 6-series and even...

Affordable. Fairly accurate colors. Roku TV platform has lots of features.

Dim panel. Color range isn't particularly wide.

If you're looking for an affordable 4K TV in a variety of sizes, TCL's 4-series is the line to beat.

TCL S425 Roku TV review: Built-in streaming powers a great value

The TCL S425 series might not have the best picture, but its excellent Roku smart TV system helps make it a standout budget pick.

The TCL S425 series is one of the least expensive smart TVs you can buy. Roku TV delivers the best smart TV experience on the market, with a simple, responsive user interface, thousands of apps and constant feature upgrades.

It has worse picture than Vizio's E series TVs. 4K resolution and HDR don't deliver a substantial improvement in image quality.

Although the image quality is just "good enough," the S425 series is still an excellent choice for budget buyers focused on streaming and simplicity.

TCL 4 Series 2019 TV Review

The TCL 4 Series 2019 Roku Smart TV is a decent TV overall. It delivers decent picture quality and displays deep blacks in a dark room thanks to its high native contrast ratio. It can't get very bright, and although it has good reflection handling it...

Very low input lag, great for games. Great smart features.

Can't get bright enough. Image degrades when viewed at an angle.

The TCL 4 Series 2019 is a decent TV for watching TV shows. It's more suitable for an average lit room as it can't get very bright, but it can handle reflections well so a few more lights won't be an issue. You'll enjoy your TV shows more if you sit...

TCL 55S425 4K UHD HDR TV review: 4K HDR with Roku built-in for just over $300

The TCL 55S425 wants you to believe that it's the best budget TV that offers 4K HDR with Roku, and it very well may be the truth.

Decent design, bezels aren't super slim but not bad ; The display is very acceptable at this price point ; Easy to setup and use ; The sound quality is better than I expected ; The TV seems snappy and responsive ; The price is amazing for what you're...

Display's color isn't very punchy, it is very neutral ; Blacks could be better ; Glare can become an issue at some angles with the right light ; The Roku interface isn't as polished as others ; The Roku remote is too small and the volume buttons are...

There are a ton of budget TV brands on the market and many of them are simply just junk. I’ve spent some time talking with friends who also review TVs and the consensus has been that TCL is a brand that makes cheap TVs and makes them really well.
