FAQ

The most common questions about this product

What the numbers on the spec sheet actually mean in day-to-day use.

Should you buy the TCL S5400?
The Kacbu decision box currently says WAIT for the TCL S5400: either the model has been on the market long enough that a successor may be near, or owner data is weak. The reasons are in the decision box at the top of this page.
What does HDR10 buy at this size?
The decode, mostly. HDR10 means the set understands the metadata and maps it to what the panel can do; on a Full HD screen with no brightness figure published, that mapping is gentle. It will not look like HDR on a Mini LED, but it will not throw away the picture either.
Is it Android TV or Google TV?
TCL says both, in different markets. The Brazilian sheet writes Android TV and the global page is titled Google TV β€” the same platform under the name each market used at the time. The rows on this page carry each sheet's own word.
How does it differ from the S4500A?
Resolution and radios. This one is Full HD with Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi; the S4500A is HD at 32 inches, answers no to Bluetooth and runs Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz alone. Both are 60 Hz sets built for a small room.
