Hands-on review of the TCL 5 Series HDR TV

The TCL 5 Series is 4k TV with decent picture quality. In this review, we compare it to 4 other popular models.
Full review: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/5-series-2018-s517

The 5 Series is a budget TV with some more advanced features like a wide color gamut. It also has a low input lag for gamers, and has a VA panel with a high native contrast ratio so it can produce deep dark scenes. Unfortunately the image degrades when viewed at an angle.

Model tested: 55” (55S517)
Should also be valid for the other 55” (55S515) and 65" (65S515, 65S517) models. Note that the S515 variants including a different remote.
