Overview
The TCL 65S525 is a 65 inch 4K UHD LED television running the Roku smart TV platform, with a 120Hz refresh rate and built-in Wi-Fi and HDMI connections.
Roku built into the TV itself means the smart platform, remote and app store are part of the television rather than a separate streaming box, which simplifies setup to one remote and one interface. The 120Hz refresh rate is worth noting for buyers focused on motion handling in sports or fast moving video, since TCL's S class sits below its higher end QLED lines.

Who it's for
Suits a primary living room TV purchase where Roku's app selection and a 65 inch 4K screen are the priorities. Buyers wanting the brightness and contrast of TCL's higher QLED tiers should look further up TCL's lineup.
