ÃÂThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam
cost and availability are still obscure at this time
mediocre backlighting and imperfect color quality
The limited number of HDMI ports is a bit of a bummer
Colors also seemed slightly skewed during our hands-on viewing
Fine details were often lost to shadow
Backlighting was also a little uneven
It does not store any personal data
68 dB Very poor frequency response
very bright colors will have poor accuracy
its viewing angle is quite narrow
Lacks a local dimming feature to improve the dark scene performance
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
having sharp edges
tend to be a bit cold
Slight framing shadows become apparent against the light image
contrast numbers are similarly mediocre
Color performance out of the box is disappointing
mediocre contrast causes some shadow details to disappear in the darker parts of the frame
some shades of green in the leaves occasionally appear a bit more yellow than ideal
skin tones
which appear a bit sickly
lack HDR capability
Worse picture than competing Vizio TVs
not a critical viewer
S405 handles only HDR10
not Dolby Vision
near-black areas were washed with a bluish tinge

The S405 Model from TCL is still super cost effective but adds 4K resolution and HDR capability to the S305 model below it. There are lots of reasons to purchase this TV, the best of which is still price and the Roku OS.
