The TCL 65R617 vs 5S405 collation demonstrates the development of brand technologies. The first model was presented in the 2018 year, while the second one – in the 2017 year. The 65R617 is a part of an R6 series that is widely known due to the perfect voice remote and seamless Smart TV. The 5S405 is regarded as an S405 series representative. These products line can boast with the increased number of streaming services and great picture quality. Owing to technologies improvement, the 65R617 is more expensive than the 5S405.
It’s very interesting to compare the TCL 65R617 versus 5S405 picture quality. The first thing I notice is that viewing angle of the first device is much better than the second one. The colors change quite a bit and the overall impression of the picture is pretty good. Both devices have amazing screen uniformity, but there are some banding issues in TCL 65S405. These stripes are barely visible. The 65R617 doesn’t have such problems.
The TCL 65S405 vs 65R617 comparison shows me that the 5S405 doesn’t have a voice remote. The TCL 65R617 is equipped with such a feature that allows changing the volume or music tracks easily. These TVs are augmented with 3 HDMI ports, but the 65S405 read information faster. Due to the IEEE 802.11ac and Ethernet using (only on the TCL 65S405), the content loads quickly. The sound is really decent on both units.
Both models have identical power button placement, but its design on the 5S405 looks clumsy and non-aesthetic. The 65R617 is supplemented by the neat button rounded shape, which doesn’t distract at all (the flashing blue/white light). The TCL 65R617 has brushed metal corps and black legs that looks very masculine. Another model has silver legs and such a peculiarity looks cheap. The build quality is great on all of them.
