Which units this covers, and how to tell yours is one of them
Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.
- Model numbers and patterns
- 50/55/65/75S555
- What that covers
- TCL TV; Roku TV, Google TV and Fire TV platforms use different menus and app stores.
Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Panel — QLED, no Mini-LED
- The 5-Series S555 is a QLED with a conventional LED backlight and basic local dimming — good colour, but weaker contrast control than the Mini-LED 6-Series/QM models, so more blooming and raised dark-room blacks. That is the tier, not a fault.
- Smart platform — ROKU TV
- Runs Roku OS built in. Update at Settings › System › System update; Miracast and AirPlay 2 for mirroring; a Roku remote and app store. Not Google TV.
- Refresh — 60Hz
- A native 60 Hz panel with HDMI 2.0-class inputs — no 4K 120 Hz or VRR. It supports Dolby Vision for HDR, but high-refresh gaming is not part of this model.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the TCL 5-Series Roku TV S555
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
Can the TCL 5-Series S555 do 120Hz?+
No. The 5-Series S555 is a 60 Hz Roku TV without HDMI 2.1, so it cannot do 4K 120 Hz or VRR — those features are on the 6-Series and QM-series. It still supports Dolby Vision for HDR. Being a Roku TV, it updates and installs apps through Roku, not Google TV.
