Introducing...
This TCL particular TV comes with a 4K screen resolution that has a 49 inch screen measured diagonally. This TV also has 4K Resolution, Roku TV Built-in, WiFi Built-in. This is only just a couple of features this TV has to offer. Make sure to check out the specs tab for the full feature set. Each person has different parameters they look at when it comes to specs of a TV. This is why you should review each TV thoroughly.

Here is Your Resolution
This TV can display a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. A resolution of this size is sometimes referred to as 4K resolution. Resolution is measured in pixels and is basically used to determine the clarity of the display. A lot of pixels means a high resolution. Resolution is vital due to the fact that it decides whether the picture is clear or fuzzy. It should be noted that refresh rate, backlighting and type of LCD panel all factors in to the overall picture quality of the TV, as well.

Family
This particular television belongs to the S405 series by TCL. The S405 series consists of 3 models. These TCL models include the 55-inch 55S405, the 43-inch 43S405 and the 65-inch 65S405.

Bigness
The 49S405 boasts a nice-sized 49 inch screen. Sometimes the marketed screen size is different from the actual size. This TV offers an actual screen size of 48.5 inches. A 49 inch TV may be the perfect size to place in a main living area of the home. If you had a small TV it would be hard to see from any significant distance. Size does not matter because a person should pick a TV that offers the features you want.

The Smart One
This TV is considered a Smart TV and it runs Roku TV as its operating system. There are quite a few applications that are available for the Roku TV system. The Roku TV system offers quite a few apps for users such as Twitter, YouTube, Showtime, Hulu, and quite a few more! Due to technological advancements and possible legal licensing crap, there may be different apps available today than what was listed. Always double check the available apps before buying any TV with the Roku TV OS. You may never know without even attempting to find the current state of the Roku TV system somewhere online.

Input This, Output That
Screens are important but how you put the video on the screen is just as important. This 49 inch TCL 49S405 TV offers up 3 HDMI ports , 1 composite input , 1 USB ports , 2 audio-out port , 1 RF cable input , 1 ethernet port and WiFi. Three HDMI ports is fine for most consumers. Composite inputs are hardly supported by manufacturers and for a very good reason, it is ancient technology compared to the quality of new television being produced today. Component input connections are much more common on televisions due to the fact the connections can handle up to 1080p resolutions. Having WiFi means you can connect through your home router to the Internet. This gives you an endless world to explore with your TCL television. Having an Ethernet port means having another way to get connected to the Internet. If you are able to connect through this port then you will find that it is much more reliable and will typically be faster than WiFi. All in all, the hardware of a TV can be just as important as the size and resolution of the screen. Video in connections, internet connections, and even the audio out connections will determine what kind of shows you watch as well as the quality. Choosing the right TV can be difficult. You should always check out the entire TV, not just the screen size!

Closing Remarks
So, this TV from TCL would be considered a good choice based on our 73 in-house rating. With a total of 3 HDMI portsits 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution screen, smart WiFi functionality, and the Roku TV operating system, the 73 rating is accurate. Do yourself a favor and check out all the features on this television before making a decision on which one to buy. Always be sure it has all the features you want.
