Ambilight. Take the emotion beyond the screen.

Ambilight. Take the emotion beyond the screen.

With Philips Ambilight, movies and games feel more immersive. Music gets a light show. And your screen will feel bigger than it is. Intelligent LEDs around the edges of the TV cast on-screen colours onto the walls and into the room, in real time. You get perfectly tuned ambient lighting. And one more reason to love your TV.

Wide colour gamut. More colours. More vibrancy.

Wide Colour Gamut increases the standard colour gamut from 72% to 90%–99%, resulting in more vivid and brilliant colours. The greenest green, the bluest blue and the reddest red, the expanded colour reproduction abilities of a 4K Ultra HD TV are closer than ever to what we see in a digital cinema.

An excellent LCD tech 4K resolution TV

* replaced a 10yr old TV so HDR picture improvement is very evident * used with surround sound system, but built in 45W soundbar seems fine * ambilght is used in its static setting at low level & acts as a soothing backlight * frame design is understated but tasteful & centre pedestal is ideal for smaller cabinets * good HDMI /USB connectivity * EPG is sometimes slow to load * not all catch-up channels available * overall if purchased at a competitive price this is a highly rated TV * recommended to be on your short list

Great, tv

I have been a fan of philips, tv for a good while now and I am writing this review to say that I am well satisfied with the tv. Great picture good sound and also good viewing angles I have looked at one particular site which stressed that the brightness was only 400nits. But I found this tv to be great in all aspects of viewing in the day and night time, I originality wanted an oled tv but that was a bit to big for my room. So I plumped for this tv a I have no regrets even though I had to source it from abroad. That's the only thing I cannot understand is that you can get all the cheaper models in the UK but when it comes to this specific model there does not seem to be anyone who stocks this particular tv otherwise no comolaints

Na bijna 6 jaar is het nog steeds een TOP TV

Prachtige tv, heb hem nu 6 jaar en het beeld is nog steeds super. Wij gebruiken voor TV, Netflix, Computeren, en Gaming, (alles in 4k). Kost even wat tijd om alles goed in te stellen maar dan heb je ook jarenlang plezier van een prachtig beeld.

Pros

Perfecte kleuren, haarscherp beeld

Cons

Geen
