But if you’ll be using a soundbar, the feet need to be set in a wide position to accommodate it, unless it’s the ultra-compact type like the Sonos Ray. On all models but the 50-inch model, there are wide and narrow positions for the S555’s feet to fit smaller-width tables or stands. Other features: AMD FreeSync, Apple AirPlay 2, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant.Color: DCI-P3 color space/10-bit chroma resolution.HDR support: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG.Display type: LED with local dimming and quantum dots.Our 55-inch review model has fewer dimming zones.īelow are the key specs of the TCL 5-Series S555: However, expect a few variations in contrast due to the difference in the number of dimming zones at different TV sizes – the bigger the TV, the more dimming zones it has.Īccording to TCL, the 5-Series has up to 80 contrast control zones, so we can assume that number applies to the largest, 75-inch model. We hope performance across sizes to be similar, especially color and grayscale accuracy, viewing angle, and gaming performance. In this review, we have the 55-inch model.

The TCL 5-Series arrives in four different sizes. If you’ve always wanted a serious 4K TV for a bargain, this might well be the best out there. The 55S555 is brighter than its predecessor, has great color and grayscale performance right out of the box, and comes with Roku, our favorite streaming platform, built in. Just like last year, the sweet spot on the new TCL 5-Series (2022) is the price (under $500) – not too expensive to be prohibitive for most, but delivers incredible performance and TCL continues its reign of budget TV dominance into 2023.
