The TCL S355 is a budget-friendly LCD TV that may struggle with overall picture quality and is not ideal for gaming applications or viewing in dark rooms due to low brightness and contrast capabilities. Its performance in bright rooms is also not optimal, which could be a concern if your TV placement is in a well-lit space. While it supports basic HDR formats, it does not excel in displaying high dynamic range content due to its limited brightness and color performance. It offers fair performance for sports content and has a moderate capability to reduce reflections, which could make it suitable for casually watching TV shows or sports in a typical living room setting. Additionally, the TCL S355 might not be the best choice as a monitor for a computer due to its limited viewing angles and color accuracy out of the box. With three HDMI ports, it allows for multiple devices to be connected, but its sound quality is not a standout feature. If you are looking for an affordable option primarily for everyday viewing and are not concerned with high-end features or performance, this TV could be suitable. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category

Sports:
3.1
The TCL S355 has a fair response time and motion processing which reduces blur during fast scenes, important for following sports, but its reflections handling is only average which can be distracting in bright environments. Its viewing angles are somewhat generous, which is good for group viewing, but its gray uniformity is mediocre, potentially affecting the look of playing fields and large areas of uniform color.
