TCL 55S20 Tv Review
Our verdict
The TCL 55S20 is a 55-inch 4K Roku TV priced at $399, but with only 2 reviews it has essentially no buyer track record. At that price, TCL's own higher-reviewed 55-inch models like the 55S455 provide far more confidence.

2 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The TCL 55S20 brings Roku's well-regarded smart platform to a 55-inch 4K LED panel. Roku TV is one of the most accessible and regularly updated smart TV platforms available, which is a genuine selling point. However, the complete absence of a review base makes it impossible to confirm whether this particular model delivers on picture quality, build reliability, or software performance.
Pros
- Roku smart platform is intuitive and content-rich with regular updates
- 55-inch 4K screen at a reasonable asking price
- TCL is a well-known brand with broad US market support
- Wi-Fi connectivity included
Cons
- Only 2 reviews makes reliability assessment impossible
- Refresh rate not specified
- No dimensions listed, making mount planning difficult
- TCL's own more-reviewed 55-inch options offer better buying confidence at similar prices
Performance notes
The 55S20 uses a 4K UHD LED panel with Wi-Fi connectivity and the Roku smart platform. Refresh rate and physical dimensions are not listed in available data. Weight and HDMI port count are also not confirmed. Prospective buyers should check the product page for full specification details before purchase.
What buyers say
Two ratings averaging 4.5 stars cannot be considered representative of broader buyer experience. The score is meaningless at this sample size for predicting satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions
How does the TCL 55S20 compare to the TCL 55S455?
The 55S455 has over 4,600 reviews at a 4.4-star average, giving it a well-established reliability and satisfaction track record. It also lists a 60Hz refresh rate, an RF connectivity option, and physical dimensions. The 55S20 lacks all of that buyer data, so for most shoppers the 55S455 is the safer choice at a comparable price.
Is Roku TV a good smart platform?
Roku is consistently rated as one of the most user-friendly smart TV platforms. It supports thousands of streaming channels including Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, and Amazon Prime Video. The interface is simple, remote control is practical, and the platform receives regular software updates. It is a strong reason to choose a TCL Roku TV over models with proprietary or less-supported platforms.
