Overview
A bedroom, dorm room or small den is where this set earns its place, because the panel suits close seating distances. The direct lit LED backlight spreads light evenly across a flat screen, and the Roku software puts apps on the home screen the moment the set powers on. Three HDMI inputs and a USB port cover a cable box, a game console and a streaming stick without a switcher.
Roku built into the television removes the extra streaming box and its remote, and voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant handles channel changes and input switching. The panel itself is the limitation: full high definition rather than 4K, a standard refresh rate, and a direct lit backlight rather than a full array. Buyers chasing contrast and motion clarity for films will notice the difference, while everyday series and sports look fine.
Who it's for
A second television for a bedroom, kitchen or rental where the Roku app library does the heavy lifting and the screen stays a few feet away. It also suits a cord cutter who wants live channels through an antenna. Skip it for a main viewing room with a large seating distance or a surround setup that expects the newest video formats.
Pros and cons

- HDR format not listed

Performance notes
Picture quality here comes down to the direct lit LED backlight and the panel refresh rate. The backlight rests behind the screen rather than around the edges, which holds brightness even across the picture, and the motion enhancement processing smooths fast camera pans. Contrast depends on the panel itself, since the set lists no local dimming zones, so dark scenes stay closer to gray than black in a dim room.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TCL 43S325 a 4K television?
No. The panel is 1080p Full HD, so it shows fewer pixels than a 4K set of the same size. At a few feet from the screen the difference is hard to spot, which is why it suits bedrooms and smaller rooms.
Can the TCL 43S325 be mounted on a wall?
Yes. It uses a 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern and the panel weighs 16.5 pounds without the stand, so a bracket rated for that pattern and weight will carry it. The mounting hardware itself is not part of the package.
Does the TCL 43S325 work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
The set supports voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and the Roku mobile app also works as a remote. You can search titles, launch channels and switch inputs by voice once the assistant is linked.
What can I plug into the TCL 43S325?
Three HDMI inputs cover a cable box, console and streaming device at the same time, and there is one USB port plus RF, composite, a headphone jack and optical audio out. The tuner is ATSC, so an antenna brings in over the air channels.
