A browser’s dream. When it comes to affordable 4K TVs, the TCL 4 series has developed a dedicated following, and for two very good reasons. The first is its incredible image quality, with its 4K Ultra HD picture clarity. The other is its built-in Roku TV platform (a serious competitor to Apple TV for managing apps and streaming) that gives you access to streaming channels with over half a million movies and TV shows to view. The 4 Series provides visuals in ultra-high definition: This means that you’ll be able to spot even the tiniest details (the space between hairs, for example) in brilliant uninterrupted images. Also, TCL has pumped up this TV with Dolby Digital Plus speakers. And the built-in the Roku is a navigational dream; no lags and just the right amount of info to browse with. All your favorites are here: HBO Max, Huly, Disney +, Netflix, Amazon; you get the picture. And if your Smart Home is wired to Google Assistant or Alexa, this TV will become a navigational tool for your entire home.

Its quad-core processor is dual-designed: On the one hand it provides the very best images, motion, and color; on the other, it reduces distracting video noises and blur. It’s a 4K dream team. Built-in, there’s also support for Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, which not only makes this TV smart, but very smart, and convenient as well, allowing you to connect through your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices to control your TV — and the rest of your home. Once you’re in the driver’s seat, LG’s webOS platform gives you access to 70 free premium internet channels, as well as the best streaming services: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime, you name it. It also supports Apple AirPlay, Apple AirPlay 2, Miracast, and SmartShare — so your devices will pair in less than in an instant.

What is 4K? Everything you need to know about 4K Ultra HD
High-definition content has been a TV mainstay for more than two decades now. From broadcasted cable stations to streamable movies and shows from streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+, 1080p HD is no longer the golden standard for modern TV models. It kind of feels like a no-brainer at this point, but what you want to invest in these days is a 4K TV, as most of the best TVs available are.
4K media is also not as rare as it once was either. In fact, most new films, shows, and even video games are now engineered from the ground up with a 4K screen in mind. And not to worry if you don’t currently watch any 4K content, because most 4K TV sets do an excellent job at upscaling lower-res sources. So is it worth it to step away from your HD past in favor of a higher pixel count present and future? Let’s explore the world of 4K a little further to find the answers we seek.
What is 4K Ultra HD?
In a nutshell, 4K Ultra HD is the name assigned to a screen with a resolution that's four times that of a Full HD (1080p) TV. That translates to 8 million pixels being crammed into the same space in which a Full HD TV fits just 2 million -- achieved by making each pixel four times smaller. The result for the average viewer? A clearer image, more accurate color, and with most new TV sets, High Dynamic Range, or HDR (more on that in a bit).
