Product details

The stunningly realistic picture on this premium OLED TV, along with the impressive 4-sided Ambilight, makes for an exciting cinematic experience. No matter what you're watching or playing, you'll experience
the action on screen right in your living room. Philips 4-sided Ambilight makes every moment feel real. Smart LEDs that surround the TV react to the action on the screen and light up so impressively that it captivates you. Experience it just once and you'll understand why you no longer want a TV without Ambilight. The Philips P5 Engine with AI enables a picture that looks as real as if you were in the middle of the action. A Deep Learning AI algorithm processes images much like the human brain. Regardless of what you're watching, you get lifelike detail and contrast, rich colors and smooth motion. With a Philips OLED TV, you can enjoy a uniquely realistic picture thanks to a wider viewing angle. Blacks are deeper. Colors are more vivid. Details in shadows and highlights are accurately reproduced. All popular HDR formats are supported. So you can fully feel every scene.
