Tcl 43s405 43-inch 4k Ultra Hd Roku Smart Led Tv (2017 Model) Review

Test Results

Blueprint

Curved No

The design of the TCL S405 is quite basic and in line with other TCL TVs such equally the US5800 from 2016. It has a broad stand up which requires quite a large table but supports the Television set well.

Update 3-nineteen-2019: The design of the S425/423/421 models might have some cosmetic differences just we have not reviewed them notwithstanding to provide you with more than detail.

The stand does a good chore of holding the TV steady only is made of plastic. It feels quite cheap only does support the Tv well.

Footprint of the 43" Tv set stand up: 7.8" x 30.2"

Wall Mount VESA 100x100

The rear of the TV is simple, with a metal top half and plastic body.

Update 11/twenty/2017: Note that the different sizes of the TV have dissimilar VESA mounts. The 49" (49S405) and 55" (55S405) have a 200x200 VESA mountain, and the 65" (65S405) has a 300x300 VESA mount.

Borders 0.39" (1.0 cm)

The borders take an average thickness only await fine. There is a flake of a gap before the offset of the picture.

Max Thickness 2.91" (7.4 cm)

The TV has an average thickness when viewed from the side. It will stick out a bit if wall mounted.

The build quality of the S405 is decent. The superlative half of the back is metallic, but the bulk of the TV is plastic (including the borders). This won't present problems during use only doesn't experience as premium as other high end TVs, or fifty-fifty the LeEco Super4.

Picture show Quality

Native Contrast 4,171 : ane

Contrast with local dimming Due north/A

The TCL S425 / S405 has a very expert native contrast ratio for a LED TV. With over a 4000:1, the S405 dissimilarity ratio is over what we consider to be a good value for a TV and will procure deep enough blacks to make night scene pleasant to watch, especially when the Television set is set in a bright room. In comparing, this is a modest improvement over the 2016 TCL US5800.

Local Dimming No

Backlight Direct

The TCL S405 / S425 does not have a local dimming feature. The video is for reference only.

Disappointing SDR peak brightness, proficient enough for a moderately lit room but not bright enough for a well lit room. The brightness does remain unchanged no matter the scene shown, which is practiced. The edges of the screen are slightly dimmer than the center, as seen by the lower real scene brightness. This brightness is very like to the lower tier TCL S305, but a lot less than the adjacent tier P607.

Plot over time

Bad HDR superlative brightness, highlights in HDR volition non exist shown much brighter than the rest of the scene. The effulgence does remain consistent no matter the scene due to the Telly's lack of CE dimming, which is good. This brightness is a lot lower than the more expensive TCL P607.

50% DSE 0.195%

5% Std. Dev. 1.872%

v% DSE 0.115%

The TCL four Series / South Series gray uniformity could be better and a lot of the uniformity issues come from the edge of the screen being a bit darker than the eye, specially the corners. There is also a large darker band on the height of the screen with some smaller vertical 1 that is a bit warmer/dirtier than the balance of the screen. Dingy screen upshot is visible when watching some specific content like hockey of football, where in that location are large panning shots over a uniform surface. For normal content like movies or Television receiver evidence, dingy screen consequence is less of a problem though.

Looking at our v% test picture, we can run across that both sides are a bit brighter than the center, but this is not really a uniformity problem, but more a visual event due to the narrow viewing bending.

Colour Washout 26°

Color Shift 14°

Brightness Loss 34°

Blackness Level Heighten 12°

Gamma Shift eight°

Bad viewing angle, but fairly typical for a Idiot box with a VA console. Blacks become greyness and colors shift when the TV is viewed from even a small angle, while brightness decreases more gradually at an angle. This TV is not well suited for a room where people will be often viewing the Tv from the side.

Native Std. Dev. 0.960%

Std. Dev. w/ L.D. N/A

The native black uniformity of the TCL S405 is very good. Looking at the black uniformity exam film, we can encounter some clouding near the elevation and lesser edge but luckily, this is really faint and does not actually affect our test consequence and likewise it did not show upward in dark scene while looking at regular video content. Note that here, the blackness level of the test picture doesn't look that deep, simply here the test is evaluating the uniformity of the screen and non the blackness level.

Screen Finish Semi-gloss

Total Reflections v.2%

Indirect Reflections 0.iv%

Calculated Direct Reflections 4.8%

The reflection treatment of the TCL S Serial is okay. It has a semi-gloss terminate which causes reflections to appear larger, diffused across the screen. This does help to reduce their intensity slightly though. For an average room it's ok, but in a brilliant room, the reflections are distracting.

Out of the box, the TCL S405 / S425 accuracy is impressive and for most people, even enthusiasts, it would be very difficult to notice the little inaccuracies. Overall, the colors are tracking their target pretty well and the white balance and gamma too, which is pretty good. At this level of accurateness, a calibration would not be needed and could be used as is in nearly case.

White Residuum dE 0.29

Color dE 0.48

Color Calibration Yes

Motorcar-Calibration Function No

After calibration, the TCL S405 is one of the most accurate TV we ever reviewed. At this level of accurateness, nearly imperfections are non even noticeable. Since the TV was already very accurate out of the box, the scale was done in a breeze and no existent issues came upwards during the process.

Similar other TCL TVs, the calibration is merely possible via the mobile apps and is ane of the easiest methods available from all the major brand of Tv we accept worked with. The xi points white balance control and the color infinite control are fairly responsive and procure a very piece of cake way to practise the scale.

You can see our recommended settings here.

Upscaling of low-quality content such as DVDs is skillful. As with other TCL TVs, the image isn't likewise soft and details are preserved.

720p sources such as cablevision are upscaled well. Details remain articulate.

1080p content such as Blu-rays look sharp and detailed.

No issues tin exist seen with native 4k content.

Update 02/26/2018: Nosotros have received reports that the 49" model of the S405 (49S405) has a different panel, which displays a crosshatching similar effect which is visible from up-close (come across here). This appears to be similar to the P607 (visible in the pixels photo here)

Broad Color Gamut No

DCI P3 xy 81.68%

DCI P3 uv 87.84%

Rec 2020 xy 58.84%

Rec 2020 uv 64.94%

Narrow color gamut, merely good enough for SDR content. The true color gamut is shown past the maximum cerise, green and bluish in the Rec 2020 gamut motion-picture show. All other colors in the Rec 2020 movie, and all the P3 colors are shown horribly undersaturated, probable considering the TV is prioritizing brightness over color accuracy because the Television receiver is so dim. These tests were done at 75% brightness stimulus; shown here and hither are tests washed at a dimmer 50% stimulus that take much meliorate accuracy. Most colors in HDR content will be at a dim stimulus and have decent accurateness, but very bright colors will take poor accuracy.

The TV's EOTF follows the HDR PQ curve fairly closely until 50% stimulus gray, where it rolls off very early to ease the transition to the Television's low peak effulgence. This exam was washed with the 'Gamma' set to '2.0' in the Boob tube'south advanced film settings in the Roku app; at the default 'Gamma' of '2.two' the EOTF was dimmer than the PQ curve, shown here, and shown here with 'Game Mode' enabled. Users can change this 'Gamma' setting to suit the brightness of their room.

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 55.ane%

x,000 cd/thou² Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 17.7%

Disappointing colour volume. The TV's color gamut narrows significantly when showing very dark saturated colors, which is visible in both color volumes. The color gamut remains total for bright saturated Rec 2020 colors, but the gamut narrows significantly when showing brilliant P3 colors, likely due to the TV's tone mapping prioritizing brightness over color accuracy because the TV is and then dim.

Color Depth 10 Bit

Gray (Std. Dev.) 0.093

The TCL S425 / S405 can display our exam gradient very smoothly and without any banding ordinarily seen on 8-chip panels. Some petty imperfection can be seen on the dark green and toward the stop of the dark grayscale, just this is very minimal. Banding in HDR movies was not a problem and the performance is very good overall.

No image retention could be detected on the TCL S405 and this is in line with other TVs that use VA panels.

Permanent Burn-In Hazard No

We don't expect VA panels to experience permanent prototype retention, as the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.

Motion

80% Response Time 6.3 ms

100% Response Time 14.4 ms

The response time is great, resulting in only a brusque trail post-obit fast-moving objects. This is a noticeable improvement over TCL 4K TVs from 2016, the US5800 and UP130, and is better than the S305 from 2017.

Flicker-Costless No

PWM Dimming Frequency 120 Hz

The TV uses PWM at 120Hz to dim the backlight, starting at 100/100 backlight setting. Lowering the setting shortens the duty cycle, while amplitude remains constant. Backlight PWM results in duplications post-obit fast-moving objects, visible in the motion blur box.

Optional BFI No

Min Flicker for 60 fps 120 Hz

60 Hz for 60 fps No

120 Hz for 120 fps N/A

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Mode 120 Hz

Unfortunately the S405 has no choice to reduce its flicker frequency to 60 Hz, although its 120 Hz PWM backlight does assistance somewhat to brand motion look clearer.

Motion Interpolation (30 fps) No

Motion Interpolation (60 fps) No

The S405 is unable to produce movement interpolation, so fans of the soap opera consequence could be disappointed.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 27.3 ms

Frame Hold Time @ 60 fps 2.3 ms

The TCL S405 / S425 is good at displaying content smoothly, without stutter. After each transition completes with 24p content, the frame remains static for only ~27ms. This produces a smoother epitome as the response time helps to blur the transition between frames.

Judder-Free 24p Yeah

Judder-Free 24p via 60p No

Judder-Gratuitous 24p via 60i No

Judder-Gratuitous 24p via Native Apps Aye

Like the 2017 TCL P607 and 2016 TCL US5800, the S405 can just display without judder 24p movies when they are played from 24 sources like DVDs or Blu-rays. 24p Movies playing from 60p/60i sources similar cable or satellite boxes will accept some judder.

There is not specific characteristic or option needed to be turn on to remove judder from 24p movies on 24p sources, as the Tv set detect and display them correctly.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Yes

Update 05/06/2019: The S405 now supports Automobile Depression Latency Fashion, and will automatically enable 'Game Style' when you kickoff playing a game on a supported device. Nosotros tested it with an Xbox One S.

Update 07/18/2017: The TV but shows 4:four:4 color properly when in 'PC mode'. For most sources this is accomplished by changing the input's icon to 'Computer'. For a PC, if the Tv set detects a PC as its source it forces PC mode, and this cannot exist avoided except by intercepting the AVI infoframes sent from the PC. The 4:iv:iv input lag measurements were in mistake, but all input lag measurements have now been updated (essentially unchanged).

Excellent low input lag, proficient enough for even competitive gamers. All picture modes have the same depression input lag when the 'Game Mode' setting is on, and 4:4:4 color is displayed properly in all modes. This input lag is very like to the higher tier TCL P607.

1080p @ 60 Hz @ 4:4:four Yep

1080p @ 120 Hz No

1440p @ sixty Hz Aye (forced resolution required)

1440p @ 120 Hz No

4k @ 60 Hz Aye

4k @ 60 Hz @ 4:4:four Yep

4k @ 120 Hz No

8k @ 30 Hz or 24 Hz No

8k @ lx Hz No

Most resolutions are supported. 4k @ threescore Hz is just supported when the HDMI input used is set to HDMI two.0 in the Goggle box's settings. 4:four:iv color is displayed properly in all moving-picture show modes.

The Television receiver's 4:2:0 colour support is inconsistent. 4:two:0 isn't displayed properly from some sources, such equally a PC (whites turn pinkish, scanlines), while our HDR Blu-ray player had no such issue. This inconsistency could be a problem for 4k @ 60 Hz sources that simply support HDMI 1.iv, as iv:2:0 is needed for these sources to remain within the bandwidth cap of HDMI 1.4.

Update 07/xviii/2017: The Tv set just shows 4:4:4 color properly when in 'PC mode'. Sharpness likewise has no result in PC mode, even though the slider can nevertheless be changed. For about sources PC style is activated by changing the input's icon to 'Estimator'. For a PC, if the Idiot box detects a PC as its source it forces PC fashion, and this cannot exist avoided except past intercepting the AVI infoframes sent from the PC. Changing the input'due south icon does not avert this forced PC mode. This beliefs was not known during initial testing, leading to the incorrect supposition that iv:4:4 colour is displayed properly in all modes.

The Roku interface responds lightning fast, with smooth animations and almost no lag. The cavalcade based layout is easy to utilise, and all lists loop to the bottom when pressing 'up' on the kickoff item, making navigation faster. Unfortunately nearly all navigation must pass through the habitation menu, which adds extra steps to many interactions.

Update 01/24/2018: There is a bug with the 'Color' slider in HDR: sometimes when the slider is increased and so decreased immediately, or vice versa, the Television set freezes, crashes and reboots. This shouldn't exist a trouble for normal usage though.

Information technology lacks the features found on the higher tier TCL remotes such as a headphone jack and speaker for playing the Tv's audio, and the 'Detect Remote' characteristic where the remote makes racket so information technology can be found. This bones remote is virtually identical to that of the TCL S305 and concluding year's US5800.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 43" (43S405). For the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the 49" (49S405), 55" (55S405) and 65" (65S405) versions.

If someone comes beyond a different type of console or if their TCL S405 (S-Series) doesn't stand for to our review, permit united states know and we will update the review. The TCL S305 is essentially the same TV, simply it features a 1080p or 720p resolution and can be constitute in smaller sizes.

Update 02/26/2018: We have received reports that the 49" model of the S405 (49S405) has a dissimilar console, which displays a crosshatching like effect which is visible from up-close (see hither). This appears to be similar to the P607 (visible in the pixels photo here)

Size	Model	Variant - S403	Variant - S401
43"	43S405	43S403
49"	49S405	49S403
55"	55S405	55S403	55S401
65"	65S405	65S403	65S401

Update x/24/2018: The S405/403/401 are gradually being replaced by the S425/423/421. Internally, they are the exact same Idiot box. The only changes are cosmetic. This is a gradual scroll-out, so some areas may nonetheless sell the S405.

Update 02/nineteen/2019: TCL has released a l" version of the S425. We don't know if there are any differences.

Update 03/15/2019: TCL has also released a 75" version of the S425/423/421.

Compared To Other TVs
