The Best Reviews, list, tips and blogs

The TCL S434 is well suited for gaming. It has a low input lag that ensures your actions are in sync with the action on the screen. It has a 4K display that fires the full 3840 x 2160 resolution, with direct backlighting and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support. If you're simply looking for an easy-to-use TV with a good picture, this is a great place to start.

The TCL S434 Class 4 Series Smart Android TV is an entry-level 4K HDR TV with Ultra HD resolution. Standing above the Class 3 series like the TCL S334 and TCL 335, this TCL TV is available in six sizes and offers impressive picture quality. Based on Android Smart TV interface, this TV provides access to thousands of voice-controlled streaming apps via Alexa and Google Assistant to easily control and access the TV’s features. We hope you enjoyed this blog about the TCL 4-Series S434 review.

The TCL 4-Series is also available with Android TV, Google’s smart TV platform that competes directly with Roku TVs. But the best part is that the hardware of the two 4-series models is identical, so all the specs and features we loved about the Roku model also apply to the TCL 4-series Android TV (S434). That means the great color quality, solid (if basic) HDR support, and gaming capabilities are exactly what the S435 is all about.

But this model gives you a different experience than Roku, with Android TV offering a huge selection of apps in the Google Play Store, integrated Google Chromecast and Google Assistant for easy content discovery and voice control. And Android TV has a great user interface with lots of features. The only thing you don’t get with the TCL4 series Android TV is the 85-inch TV option.

TCL S434 Class 4 Series Smart Android TV has a slim design with thin edges and smooth surface to enhance the elegant and stylish beauty of your room. This 4K TV features flat sharp corners, plastic bezel and metal back for a perfect mesmerizing look. On the back, even though it is flat, there are several ports for interface connections. There are also holes for wall mounting and two feet for floor mounting.

Two small V-shaped plastic feet are located on either side of the TV to keep it in a standing position. Interface ports include 3 HDMI ports, 1 USB port, an Ethernet port, a common component/composite input, and a coaxial port, so you can enjoy unlimited benefits. The TCL S434 Class 4 Series Smart Android TV is available in 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, and 75 inch sizes, so you can choose the TV that best fits your home or office.

The TCL S434 Class 4 Series Smart Android TV offers vivid colors, clarity, and high detail with an IPS LED panel that delivers four times the resolution of Full HD with 4K resolution. The IPS 4K panel offers a wide viewing angle and wows with impressive realism, displaying nearly 100 percent color accuracy even at a 60-degree viewing angle.

The 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution is combined with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color depth, and supports HDR10 pro for an enjoyable visual experience. The TCL Class 4 series also features 4K HDR, which optimizes every scene and delivers vivid and accurate colors for a lifelike display. With multi-HDR format, including HDR10 and HLG, you can enjoy any video content in stunning HDR quality.

The S435 is a basic 4K TV – no fancy extras here like next-gen gaming features, local dimming, a wide color gamut, or lots of light. Its best feature, the Roku Smart TV interface, is a CNET favorite, with big icons for streaming services and the TV’s various inputs. If you’re buying this TV because you’ve used Roku in the past, you’ll feel right at home. The combination of the TV and streamer reduces the number of devices you need to connect.

The only major difference between this device and a Roku streaming device like the Roku Express 4K Plus is the remote itself. Personally, we’ve been using a Roku media streamer for many years and have found that the little pill-shaped remotes work great. The TCL version looks similar, but is much cheaper and works with infrared signals, so you have to remember to point it at the TV. Once you get used to how easy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth remotes are (just put them anywhere!), IR is a step backwards.

The hard plastic buttons also feel cheap and make a cheap click. That’s one of the few things that reminds you that this is a budget TV. You can also use the Roku mobile app for iOS or Android, which at least makes it easier to enter various logins and passwords. The app also has voice search, which is not available in the TCL remote. With it, you can simply say something like “Tacoma FD” and it will find all the places where you can stream/purchase a show or movie. It’s quick: once you get used to it, you’ll wonder why all streaming platforms don’t work this way.

The Vizio V555 already has a Bluetooth remote with voice control. However, its user interface is not as user-friendly as Roku’s, and it does not have access to as many streaming services. In particular, the V555 doesn’t have HBO Max yet, although you can stream the service from your phone. When you’re streaming TCL content at 24 frames per second, such as from Blu-ray or movies and most streaming broadcasts, it switches to 48 Hz. This eliminates 3:2 judder, so every movement in the picture looks smoother and more natural.

It’s not a soap opera effect, which is even smoother but less natural. There’s no SOE on the 4 Series, and like most budget TVs, the refresh rate is 60 Hz, not 120 Hz. The 55-inch TV gets an Energy Star rating of $12, which is low (good) compared to similar TVs. Connectivity options are perfectly adequate for a budget TV. There are four HDMI inputs and one of them has ARC. If you don’t have a fancy TCL soundbar with ARC input, you can output TV audio via the 3.5mm headphone jack or an optical cable.

TCL’s 50-inch TV features a 4K display with full 3840 x 2160 resolution, direct backlighting and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support. The result is a relatively good (if basic) viewing experience and better than you would expect in this price range. The TCL 4K Android TV achieves 97.4% Rec. 709, which is better than the Vizio V505-G9 (96.65%), but not as good as the 98.3% we saw on the 40-inch Samsung NU7100.

But while we prefer to see a 4K TV this close to the 100% mark, TCL is within the range we’d expect for a cheaper model. The TCL 50S434 doesn’t stand out in terms of brightness, even in Bright (HDR) mode with the backlight on; maximum brightness is 244.05 cd/m2, which is half of the 6-series’ peak brightness of 488.01 cd/m2. Again, the 6 Series lacks local dimming, and the dynamic contrast settings can brighten or darken the entire screen simultaneously.

Scenes from BBC Planet Earth II look great, although it’s easy to notice the TV’s darker screen and smaller color gamut compared to the 6 Series or more expensive TVs like the LG OLED55C1PUB or Sony A80J. However, the trees and blue greens in the episode “Islands” look crisp and natural, although fine textures like fur and bark become crisp in good light. However, shadows are a bit washed out, and the rather dim screen doesn’t look as realistic as brighter panels.

TCL S434 Class Four Smart Android TV starts at $249.99 for 43-inch, $389.99 for 50-inch, $499.99 for 55-inch, $699.99 for 65-inch and $999.99 dollars for a 75-inch TV. This TV collection is available in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. You should buy such TVs from professional online stores, major retail chains in your country. TCL has released at least one version of the Series 4 in recent years, and the TCL 50S434 we are testing here is a 2021 version.

Since then, we have tested over six models in the TCL 4 series, and all of them were Roku TV versions. We look forward to testing the Android TV version of our popular budget 4K TVs, and expect the design and picture quality criteria to apply to all of them. Whether you use Roku, Google TVs, or Android TV Smart, the screen sizes and prices remain the same.

We hope you understand and enjoy this blog of TCL 4-Series S434 Review. In general, the TCL S434 is a good TV. It’s not bad for watching movies in dark rooms because it has an amazing contrast ratio and great black uniformity, but it lacks local dimming to improve contrast.

It is suitable for gaming because of its low input lag and decent response time, but it does not support advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate technology. Finally, while it supports HDR, it brings very little to the table as it doesn’t get bright enough to bring out bright highlights and can’t display a wide color gamut. We hope you’ll share this blog with family and friends.
