![]() ![]() While plenty of TVs hit close to the 100% mark, this blows past competitors like the Toshiba C350 Fire TV (95.01%), and edges ahead of others, like the Sony Bravia X800H (99.75%) and the Hisense U7G Android TV (99.88%), though you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference with the naked eye alone on those last two. It's also better than last year's TCL Roku model (1.7), as well as several premium models that cost much more, but still score higher than 2.0 in the same tests.Ĭolor reproduction was also impressive, with the S546 reproducing 99.97% of the Rec 709 color space – that's about as good as you're going to get without upgrading to an OLED TV. It's also notably better than we saw on any other TV in this price range, beating out the Hisense U7G Android TV (1.9) and Toshiba C350 Fire TV (1.6), and offering noticeably better accuracy than the Sony Bravia X800H (3.6). Lower scores are better, and a 0 would be a perfect score, but anything under 2.0 is accurate enough that the average person can't spot any inaccuracies in regular use. ![]() Though some cosmetic differences from the 2020 TCL 5-Series Roku TV were a pleasant surprise, we were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model.Ĭolor accuracy was great right out of the box, with a Delta-E average of 1.3 as measured by our X-Rite spectrophotometer. TCL 5-Series Google TV (S546): Test results A play test with Assassin's Creed Valhalla looked great, with clear 4K resolution, smooth motion, and detailed textures. It does, however, support variable refresh rates (VRR) between 48 and 60Hz, as well as auto low latency mode, switching seamlessly to game mode once it detected that the connected console had turned on. It was far less pronounced when watching actual content, but the viewing angles do leave a lot to be desired.įiring up our Xbox Series X, the TV offers 4K support for games and content at 60Hz (as well as 24Hz and 50Hz for movies and other content), but not the higher 120Hz. ![]() Those viewing angles looked just as bad when we moved vertically (such as standing up from a couch). A pink test screen faded out to white when viewed at any angles beyond 45 degrees, and the effect also crept in around the edges of the screen when we were sat too close to the QLED panel - even when centered in front of it. The only time we caught more egregious problems with the picture was when we used test screens that are designed to highlight potential issues. However, in a letterboxed movie clip, the bars above and below the picture looked suitably black, instead of the glowing gray that sometimes plagues LCD TVs. Clips of 4K nature videos showed vibrant blue skies and colorful plants and animals, with none of the banding that sometimes shows up on lower-quality displays, though we did notice some crushed blacks in some scenes. ![]()
