Cheapest 43″ QLED TV in Czechia: This TCL costs less than 5 thousand, has Android TV and Dolby Audio

Looking for an affordable QLED TV that fits into a smaller room? The TCL 43S5K is now selling for just 4,989 CZK, which represents the lowest price for a 43-inch QLED TV on the Czech market. The original price at its launch this year was 8,490 CZK, so the current discount reaches a significant 3,501 crowns.

QLED technology at the price of a regular LED panel

The TCL 43S5K uses a QLED panel with quantum dots, which ensure more vibrant colors and higher brightness compared to classic LED TVs. Quantum crystal technology can display over a billion color shades and offers a wider color gamut than standard LED panels. Thanks to this, you get a higher quality image with better color reproduction, even at a price comparable to regular LED models.

The TV features a 43-inch screen with Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. While competitors in this price category often offer only HD Ready resolution, TCL provides twice the number of pixels for a sharper image. The model also supports HDR10, which enhances contrast and details in both bright and dark parts of the image.

Android TV with rich features

At the heart of the TV is the Android TV operating system, which provides access to thousands of applications from the Google Play Store. Pre-installed, you’ll find popular services like Netflix, Disney+, OnePlay, and Max. The Google Cast feature allows wireless content streaming from your phone or tablet directly to the TV screen.

It is important to note here that better-equipped TCL TVs use the Google TV system. While it is also built on Android, it offers a more modern, more customizable user interface. If smart features don’t play a huge role for you, Android TV will be more than sufficient, but it’s definitely something worth considering at least.

For various types of content, the TV offers specialized display modes – game mode reduces input lag for smoother gaming, sports mode enhances motion, and movie mode optimizes colors for a cinematic experience. The audio is handled by Dolby Audio technology with a total speaker output of 20 W.

Connectivity and other features

In terms of connectivity, the TV offers two HDMI ports for connecting a game console or set-top box and one USB port for playing multimedia from a flash drive. It also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, and a LAN port for a more stable wired internet connection. The 60 Hz refresh rate is standard for this price category.

Who is the TCL 43S5K ideal for?

The model will be appreciated primarily by customers looking for a compact TV for smaller spaces – bedrooms, kitchens, or children’s rooms. With a diagonal of 108 cm, it fits even where larger models would seem oversized. The TV is also an excellent choice for those who want QLED technology without a high investment.

The TCL 43S5K represents a reasonable compromise between price and quality. You get a smart TV with a higher-quality QLED panel for a price you would typically pay for a basic LED model. The main compromise is, of course, Full HD resolution instead of 4K – for example, the TCL 43P7K model with 4K resolution currently costs 7 thousand crowns on sale, which is 2 thousand more. That one also already offers Google TV.

The TCL 43S5K for under 5 thousand crowns represents an interesting opportunity for anyone looking to upgrade their TV experience without significant expense. The QLED panel ensures better colors than regular LED TVs, and Android TV provides access to streaming services.
