Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)The TCL 5 Series is a good TV for most uses. It's great for gaming because it has VRR support, a quick response time, and low input lag for responsive gaming. It has a VA panel with a high native contrast ratio for deep blacks and excellent black uniformity. The TCL S546 is very good for watching movies in dark rooms.
Pros
- High native contrast ratio
- Low input lag for a responsive desktop experience
- Good motion looks smooth thanks to the quick response time
- Excellent black uniformity
Cons
- Narrow viewing angles
- Local dimming feature causes blooming around bright objects
- Doesn't properly upscale 480p content like from DVDs
