Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV - 55 Inch Display with Pixel Precise Ultra HD, Titan OS Platform and Dolby Atmos Sound, Works with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant - Satin Chrome

Our first "real" amilight tv has not let us down. This replaced an old tv with one of those stick on kits to provide the rear light show. This far exceeds the previous effects and is super simple to use, just turn the tv on. The intensity of the lights can be adjusted, although we have found the default settings very suitable, making watching the tv "easier" on the eyes. The TV picture quality is great and very usable for day to day tv watching and the ocassional 4k Bluray film, all displayed with amicable ease. The sound seems ok, however we use an external AV Amplifier so cant really comment about the full sound capabilities. A good bit of kit, although it would be fantastic if the ambilight feature was across the bottom of the tv, especially in our wall mount situation.

Was so happy to upgrade to this and wasn’t disappointed, the tv looks lovely, the lights are great and then you try and use it. Honestly the os is completely unusable and so slow. It is impossible to find apps quickly and just beyond sluggish. I was upgrading from a 6/7 year old Samsung and even that is so much faster than this, honestly so disappointed with this. Going to buy a streaming stick to make the best of a bad situation.

This TV has genuinely exceeded my expectations—it's a fantastic piece of tech. One of the standout features for me is the Ambilight technology. It adds an incredible immersive touch, especially in my RGB-themed gaming room, syncing beautifully with the overall aesthetic and creating a more engaging atmosphere while gaming or watching content. Even when used as a PC monitor, this TV performs exceptionally well. Despite running at 4K 60Hz, the image quality is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and the overall experience is smooth and satisfying. For general use and gaming, it's more than adequate. As for the built-in apps, I haven’t paid much attention to them since I primarily use external devices or a PC, but I assume they function well enough for most users. Since I haven’t encountered any issues or faults so far, I’m completely satisfied with this purchase. Overall, this TV is an excellent addition to any gaming or entertainment setup. Highly recommended. 👍

For the price this TV is excellent, colours are spot on as well as 4k looks sharp, however the interface. like some other reviews have stated is more laggy and unresponsive then I would ideally like. However not unusable, another slight problem is when using something such as a SKY box you don’t seem to get the option to use certain apps (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+). Out of the box to stream 4K content, firstly you must ensure your Streaming platform supports 4K and your 4K streaming is part of the specific plan you pay for. Secondly you have to then tell the Sky box or whatever streaming device you are using that the TV is 4K in the device settings. While this was easy for the Sky Box it may not be as easy or possible with other devices but on the flip side of that argument, some devices may recognise it right out of the box so your mileage may vary. If you do struggle to get your preferred device too recognise the screens resolution then using the built in smart version of the app you require will recognise it but at the cost of using the less responsive smart home software baked into the television. The lighting on the back is by no means a deal breaker and does have a slight effect when watching movies, multiple people stated it made you feel you were watching on a larger display. However it was often turned off due to sometimes being distracting. I think it really matters what kind of movie/film you are watching. Disabling it is very simple. I wouldn’t pay extra for this feature. For the price it was purchased for on SALE I believe this I well worth the cost even for some caveats.

Got this at half price on Prime day. Picture is good on HD channels and HD streaming services, but standard definition channels look pretty bad. Sound is good enough. IMPORTANT! Note that Philips sold 70% of their TV division in 2011 to Chinese company TVP and the remaining 30% in 2014. Philips-branded TVs now have nothing to do with Philips. TVP are the world's largest lcd panel manufacturer for computer monitors and tv's. They are not a traditional TV manufacturer like Sony or Philips. You are buying a generic Chinese designed and manufactured unit with a Philips badge. This explains why the display is the only thing good about this unit. It is worth keeping this in mind when reading the following as it explains the many downsides. The TV Guide and other controls are UNUSABLY SLOW, with the TV Guide in particular taking several seconds to move to the next page. The problem is exacerbated by the TV buffering the key presses, so after frustratingly clicking more than once when scrolling up or down, the guide will then skip several pages once it wakes up. How Phillips can think this is acceptable for a consumer products is beyond me. Also, the current channel is muted when you open the guide, which is really annoying when you're listening to one channel and just want to check the schedule. Ambilight wasn't a factor in buying, but at the default setting it is like watching TV in a disco. Fortunately, it is (sort of) easily turned off via a dedicated button on the remote. I say "sort of" because it is not a one-click on/off, but brings up the ambilight menu. It can be customised by digging deep into the system settings and the brightness and colour saturation can be changed for a more subtle effect, which is more suitable, but I'm still not convinced it adds anything to the viewing experience and is more of a gimmick. In fact, if light-bleed from the picture onto the wall behind was a thing, I'm sure manufacturers would be boasting various innovations that prevented it. [Update] In a dark room, and with the brightness and colour saturation turned down a bit, the ambilight does have the effect of spilling some light around the room, and can be ok. I still wouldn't go as far as to say it is essential, but not quite as useless as I originally stated. [Update] I forgot to add the remote control isn't great either, it's completely symmetrical, really long and skinny with tiny low profile buttons and GREY text on black background. Being so long, it feels uncomfortable and unbalanced in my (large) hands, with sharp corners. All this makes it really difficult to navigate the buttons by touch when watching in a darkened room. Because of the symmetric shape, you have to consciously figure out if you're even holding it the right way round every time you pick it up. This might all sound minor, but trust me, it gets irritating really quickly. They should redesign it with some usability testing included. As for ports, read the specs and make sure it meets your needs, as there aren't a whole lot. Currently having an issue getting it to recognise the Fire Stick plugged into HDMI3 (the other two HDMI ports are recessed, so you can't fit the fire stick in those without an extension cable). Overall, at the bargain price, it's ok, but seriously let down by the terrible "Titan" OS. I know broadcast TV is a dying medium, but (as well as the slowness), you get the feeling you're using some unfinished open source "Entertainment Centre" software where TV is just another option. I would be sending it back if I'd paid more. I'll see if I can live with the unusable TV Guide. If not, I'll sell it on. [Another update 2 months in...] The homepage on this tv now refuses to show anything 50% of the time - just a black screen. The problem with this is that it is the only way to get to the settings, including software updates. Essential functions such as programme info are buried in menus via the awful remote control. The muting whenever you open the tv guide, no page up/down on the tv guide, long startup times, and taking an absolute age for it to download the programme guide, doesn't work with a Firestick on any HDMI port even via an HDMI repeater that works flawlessly with everything else, etc. etc. In short, unless you're desperate just to get a big screen, avoid at all costs.

Top tier TV for the price. I noticed most negative reviews were in relation to the TV’s software. I plug in an Apple TV 4K which works excellently and negates the need to use the TV’s built in software at all. The screen itself is clear and high quality and the built in ambilight feature is an added bonus. Works seamlessly with anything on the TV. If you were to add Phillips hue light strips to the back of a regular tv this would be an expensive and premium addition. Would highly recommend, I did a lot of research and this tv is definitely top of its class for the price.

If I could give no stars I woul I bought a 65" amberlight tv and not one thing actually works the remote doesn't work the buttons don't even corispond to what you want. Iv had a Philips engineer out to replace the motherboard that did nothing but make the TV even slower. Iv never known any TV to be slower than an old analogue TV I swear this is a scam I 100% want my money back and you can come and collect this out of my home. Do yourself a favour and don't bother

I bought the model 65PUS8109/12. My first week with this TV has been amazing. The ambient lights make a huge difference, it’s unbelievable nice watching movies with this feature on. The OS is faster than my previous TV Samsung 2021, doesn’t crash or get stuck, so having read reviews complaining about the new Philips OS performance, I wouldn’t agree with them, however as people's expectations aren’t all the same, I can understand their point of view, as it’s not very very fast, but still far better than my previous Samsung 2021 TV. The images quality is very good compared to how much I spent (£599 of offer). The sound is great and intense. I just found a little scratch on the front, which was coming from the factory, as there was the film protection on top, but it didn’t bother me too much. One thing a noticed on the Amazon advert is that the controller doesn’t have the Disney+ button, as one of the images shows, so check the Philips website to see the actual controller this TV has. I can’t say anything about longevity of this TV, I’ll update my review if anything of relevance comes out.

J'ai changé car mon ancienne tv a lâché après 8 ans tout pile (autre marque). Le son j'ai une barre de son donc je ne me suis pas attardé dessus. Par contre l'image est top, les couleurs sont vives et l'expérience ambilight est vraiment géniale 😁 Livré vite et très facile à installer. Par contre les différences de prix en quelques jours sont énormes. Je l'ai payé 44€ de plus que le prix actuel en moins d'un mois. Et le lendemain de mon achat elle avait déjà perdu 14€... Je n'enlève pas d'étoile car je note la télé mais c'est pas top surtout pour des clients qui achètent beaucoup.

Super produit

Für den Preis ist der Fernseher wirklich top. Die Grundlagen: Ambilight - welches das Bild optisch nochmal vergrößert, gutes Display und der Sound geht auch in Ordnung (wobei natürlich bei TVs immer eine Soundbar oder eine Anlage empfehlenswerter ist). Einziges kleines Manko für mich - es wäre schöner wenn das Ambilight nicht nur dreiseitig wäre, sondern auch am unteren Bereich installiert ist. Ich hatte erst etwas Sorge, da einiges manchmal überdramatisiert wird (z.B. lange Startzeit beim Hochfahren, billigste Fernbedienung) - da kann ich aber beruhigen, es hält sich alles im Rahmen, ich hatte auch schon wesentlich schlimmere Fernbedienungen in der Hand. HDR hat er auch, VRR erkennt meine Konsole jedoch nicht - evtl. liegt dies an irgendwelchen Einstellungen. Softwaretechnisch sind Philips Fernseher nicht wirklich die besten, das ist mir schon im Bekanntenkreis aufgefallen, da z.B. die Software öfter mal abschmiert oder der TV freezt. Das hatte ich bisher noch nicht (wäre ja auch schlimm). Ich muss aber auch gestehen, dass ich die vorinstallierten Apps auf dem Fernseher sowieso nicht nutze und dementsprechend nicht viel in seinem Menü herumspiele. Er ist bei mir nicht mal mit dem Netzwerk verbunden, weshalb ich das gar nicht bewerten möchte und kann. Ein Manko für Leute, welche das interessiert, ist, dass durch das neue TitanOS von Philips nur bestimmte Apps freigegeben sind und einige Wichtige fehlen sollen. Da müssten Interessierte halt etwas genauer hinschauen. Wer hier aber einen relativ großen Fernseher für einen passablen Preis sucht, ist beim Philips Ambilight 65PUS8109 gut bedient. Ich finde ihn empfehlenswert.

Magnifique télé, très grand écran de très bonne qualité et immersion grâce à l'Ambilight qui fonctionne parfaitement bien !

La televisión Philips Ambilight de 65 pulgadas es una excelente opción para quienes buscan una experiencia visual inmersiva y de alta calidad. Aquí te dejo un resumen de sus características clave y mi opinión sobre ellas: ### **Pros:** 1. **Ambilight:** La tecnología Ambilight es uno de los mayores atractivos de estas televisores. Consiste en luces LED en la parte posterior de la TV que proyectan un resplandor que sigue lo que está en pantalla. Esto no solo mejora la experiencia visual, sino que también hace que la tele se vea más grande de lo que realmente es. 2. **Calidad de imagen:** Las televisores Philips suelen tener una calidad de imagen impresionante, gracias a la tecnología de paneles como el 4K UHD, HDR, y soporte para Dolby Vision y HDR10+. Los colores son vibrantes y los negros profundos, lo que las hace ideales para ver películas y series. 3. **Sistema de sonido:** El sonido suele ser bastante decente, especialmente en modelos de gama alta, con sistemas de sonido mejorados como Dolby Atmos, aunque siempre es recomendable complementar con una barra de sonido si buscas una experiencia de cine en casa más completa. 4. **Sistema operativo (Android TV):** Philips utiliza Android TV, lo que significa acceso a una amplia variedad de aplicaciones y servicios como Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, entre otros. Además, puedes controlar la TV por voz con Google Assistant. 5. **Diseño y acabados:** El diseño de estas TVs suele ser elegante, con marcos delgados y acabados premium que combinan bien con cualquier tipo de decoración. ### **Contras:** 1. **Sofisticación del sistema:** El sistema operativo Android TV es potente, pero la interfaz puede ser un poco más lenta comparada con otros sistemas como Tizen (Samsung) o webOS (LG). ### **En resumen:** Si eres un fanático de la tecnología y de la inmersión visual, la Philips Ambilight de 65" puede ser una excelente opción. El valor agregado de Ambilight, junto con la calidad de imagen y sonido, hace que sea una TV muy atractiva para quienes buscan una experiencia de entretenimiento avanzada.
