Awesome picture quality
Just bought it a month ago and have been in awe of its picture quality given it is just a budget television. While it comes at an affordable price, the picture quality is impressively sharp and vibrant for what you pay. It was easy to set up and handles all my streaming apps smoothly. If you want great performance without breaking the bank, this is the perfect choice!

Awesome TV
This TCL 40 inch TV is awesome in many ways. First is the affordability and quality. Second is the QLED display which bring the vibrant colours in the TV. Third is lightweight and easy to set up so you can buy and take it home with you already. I am happy with the purchase😊

At a glance
The TCL 40" S5K is a compact smart TV designed for bedrooms, guest rooms and smaller living spaces. It offers vibrant QLED colour, easy streaming through Android TV and helpful voice control with Google Assistant. Its 6 star energy rating also makes it appealing for everyday use. The main limitation is that it is not ideal for serious gaming or premium cinematic performance.
What it’s great for
- Streaming TV and movies
- Bedroom viewing
- Guest room entertainment
- Everyday family use
- Casual sports viewing
Where it works best
- Bedroom
- Guest room
- Small living room
- Apartment
- Student accommodation
Who it’s for
- Students
- Renters
- Small-space households
- Casual streamers
- Budget-conscious buyers
Things to consider
This TV is best for general streaming and everyday viewing, but its 60Hz panel and basic HDMI connectivity make it less suited to high-performance gaming or buyers wanting a more premium cinematic picture.
Small room suitability
Excellent for bedrooms, guest rooms and other smaller spaces where a 40-inch screen is a comfortable fit.
Student/bedroom fit
Very good - compact size, broad app support and simple smart features make it a practical choice for student rooms or secondary spaces.
Smart tv feature score
8/10 - Strong app support, Android TV and Google Assistant make it easy to use for streaming.
Gaming suitability
4/10 - Fine for casual console play, but the 60Hz refresh rate and non-gaming focus limit appeal for serious gamers.
Portability rating
8/10 - A manageable size for moving between rooms or fitting into compact spaces, though still a TV best set up in one location.
Key benefits
- QLED display: Delivers richer, more vibrant colour for movies, sport and animated content.
- 40-inch screen size: Fits comfortably in compact spaces with a suitable viewing distance of around 1.5 to 2.5 metres.
- Android TV: Gives easy access to popular streaming apps and a familiar smart TV experience.
- Google Assistant: Lets you search content and control the TV with voice commands.
- HDR10-plus support: Improves contrast and scene detail for a more dynamic picture.
- Bluetooth 5.0: Makes it easier to pair compatible headphones, speakers or other wireless devices.
- Dolby Audio with 2 x 10W speakers: Provides clear everyday sound without needing external audio straight away.
- 6 star energy rating: Helps keep running costs lower, with estimated annual energy consumption of 140 kWh.
Q: Is this TCL TV good for PS5 or Xbox gaming?
A: Yes, for casual console play. TCL 40S5K has a 60Hz Full HD panel and 2 HDMI 1.4b ports, so it suits everyday gaming, but it is not positioned as a gaming-ready TV for buyers chasing a more advanced gaming feature set.
Q: Does this TV upscale lower-quality channels to Full HD?
A: No. TCL 40S5K is not listed with upscaling, so free-to-air broadcasts or older video sources will show at their native quality rather than being specifically sharpened. Its panel resolution is 1920 x 1080 for Full HD content.
Q: How bright is the screen in a sunny room?
A: TCL 40S5K has 300 nits peak brightness, which is reasonable for bedrooms and smaller rooms with controlled light. In a very bright space with strong daytime glare, picture punch will be more limited than on a brighter TV.
Q: Will the built-in speakers be enough for a bedroom TV?
A: For everyday bedroom viewing, usually yes. TCL 40S5K has 2 x 10W speakers with Dolby Audio, which suits news, streaming and general TV use, but a separate soundbar is the better fit if you want stronger, fuller sound.
Q: Can this TV connect to Bluetooth headphones or speakers?
A: Yes. TCL 40S5K has Bluetooth 5.0 for pairing with compatible wireless audio devices, including Bluetooth headphones or speakers. If you want fuller room sound, it can also be matched with a separate soundbar such as TCL's S55H.
Q: Do smart apps still work if I use Ethernet instead?
A: Yes. TCL 40S5K can go online through Wi-Fi 5 or a wired Ethernet connection, so streaming apps and Google Assistant do not depend on wireless only. An internet connection is still needed for app streaming and voice features.
Q: Can I wall mount the TCL 40S5K easily?
A: Yes. TCL 40S5K uses a 100 x 100 VESA wall mount pattern, which is common for compact TVs. A wall mount is not included, so one needs to be bought separately before installation. This size is often used in bedrooms or smaller rooms.
