Overview

Roku runs the show on TCL's 43S450R, a 43 inch 4K UHD television with a 60Hz refresh rate and LED display. It connects over HDMI and Wi-Fi and is finished in black.

Running Roku's own interface rather than a third-party smart platform is the defining feature here, giving a simpler menu and Roku's channel store instead of Android TV or Google TV. At 43 inches with 4K resolution, it lines up with entry to mid-range sizing for a main TV. Connectivity is lighter than some competitors list, HDMI and Wi-Fi only, with no Bluetooth or USB noted.

Who it's for

Suits buyers who already prefer Roku's interface and want it built into the TV rather than added through a separate streaming stick. Less of a fit if Bluetooth audio pairing or USB media playback matters, since neither is listed.

Performance notes

Picture runs through an LED panel at 4K UHD and 60Hz, standard specs for everyday viewing. Smart functionality is handled entirely by Roku's own operating system, which tends to run lighter than platforms layered on top of Android, though that comparison isn't confirmed by this data. With only HDMI and Wi-Fi listed for connectivity, options for wired peripherals or wireless audio are narrower than on TVs that list Bluetooth or USB.
