TCL S405 Roku TV: Great streaming in a cheap 4K TV

2017-08-10
hey everybody you're looking at one of the cheapest 4k TVs around and it also happens that the best Smart TV system available today sound too good to be true okay there's a catch aside from its low price the best part about the TC LS 405 series seen here in the 55 inch size is Roku this set is powered by my favorite big-screen app suite and it beats competing smart TV systems from Samsung LG and Vizio handily it's super simple to use with all your favorite apps like Netflix Hulu YouTube and the rest front and center meanwhile your connected device is like a cable box or PlayStation are presented right alongside you can easily move and delete apps and devices from the screen and the whole arrangement is just as familiar as your phone even the remote is extra simple with just a few buttons Roku has more apps than any system since the S 405 is a 4k TV it can also handle 4k and HDR streams from compatible apps like Netflix and Amazon they promised the best streaming picture you can get so what's the catch well compared to other budget TVs from Vizio the S 405 didn't deliver the best picture quality it was hampered by lighter black levels leading to lower contrast visible especially in a dark room even 4k and HDR video looked worse as a result I'm not saying that s 405's image is terrible it's just not as good as the best budget competition but maybe you're willing to sacrifice some image quality for a superior Smart TV and streaming experience if that's the case the TC LS 405 roku TV is worth a serious look I'm David cat smart prasena
