The TCL S434 is an okay TV overall. It isn't bad for watching movies in dark rooms because it has an amazing contrast ratio and great black uniformity, but it lacks a local dimming feature to improve contrast. It's decent for gaming, thanks to its low input lag and decent response time, but it doesn't support any advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate technology. Lastly, although it supports HDR, this adds very little, as it can't get bright enough to bring out bright highlights, and it can't display a wide color gamut.
