Both Desktop Monitor and 4k TV
I use as both a Desktop Computer monitor and TV. The colors and clarity POP and it has the correct capability so Text doesn't blur like other 4k LED TV's. This is a winner at a very competitive price.

Good deal for the money
The picture's great. Google TV as the OS is a big plus, you know? It's got tons of channels on its TLC Plus thing, like Pluto or Samsung TV Plus. This TV has a bunch of picture and sound settings. Oh, and the interface is super easy to use. The only downside is that the colors get weird if you watch it from a weird angle, but who does that, right? You can add it to Google Home and control it from there. It's perfect for the price.

Amazing Value for a 4K Smart TV
I bought the TCL 55” S5-Series 4K UHD HDR Google TV (2024) in February, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. For the price, this TV delivers exceptional picture quality, smooth performance, and a user-friendly smart TV experience. - Picture Quality: The 4K resolution with HDR makes everything pop—whether I’m watching movies, playing games, or streaming shows. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast is surprisingly good for this price range. - Google TV Interface: The built-in Google TV is a game changer. Navigating apps is fast and seamless, and having Google Assistant makes it super convenient to search for content without typing. - Gaming Performance: I was impressed with the low input lag and smooth motion handling. It’s not an OLED, but for casual gaming, it holds up really well! - Build & Sound: The design is sleek and modern, and the built-in speakers are decent for everyday use. That said, pairing it with a soundbar takes the experience to the next level. For a budget-friendly 4K TV, this TCL S5-Series is a fantastic choice. It punches way above its price point, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality TV without breaking the bank!
