Philips Ambilight 55PUS6704/12 55-Inch LED Smart TV (4K UHD, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR 10+, Pixel Precise Ultra HD, Saphi Smart TV) Black (2019/2020 Model) [Energy Class A+]

Update 1: After a couple weeks of use, it's clear to see the operating system of this TV's smart functions (netflix, prime etc) are just really bad, there's no other word for it. If you suffer from a "laggy" netflix experience, there's something I found you can do to fix it.1) Factory reset the TV in the settings menu2) When restarted, update immediately.It won't stop everything from lagging as I think that's a processing issue you can probably return the TV for, but it will iron out any software issues you're facing.Original Review:If you're not too familiar with technology and just want the best picture quality for the price, here's all you need to know.This TV has three main technologies inside of it. They're called:HDR10+ (up to 1000nits of brightness)Dolby Vision (up to 10,000nits of brightness!)Dolby Atmos (for sound quality)The resolution is 4K (otherwise known as "Ultra HD"/UHD).HDR10+ and Dolby Vision basically help balance colours and the image on the screen so you're always getting the best picture quality possible. If you're scratching your head wondering which one is better, the answer is pretty simple - it depends on what you're watching. You have HDR10+ Light/Dark and Dolby Vision Light/Dark (4 options total). Although barely any shows supports Dolby Vision to the fullest, it's capable of pushing out 10x the brightness over HDR10+ so on paper it is the best option. But again, it depends on the quality of what you're watching. Planet Earth on Netflix has Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, so if you get this TV you can bounce between the options and see which one you like better.Not everything supports this imaging technology but 90% of the newer stuff coming out (movies, netflix... etc) are all supporting at the minimum HDR10+.Dolby Atmos on a TV is kind of pointless as if you're actually interested in good quality audio, you'd buy your own 5.1 system. Dolby Atmos, when switched on, is basically when you're sitting in a cinema and you can hear the audio come from different corners the of room based off what's happening on screen. It's a nice addition to have if you got some good headphones, but I would recommend getting a good 5.1 that supports Dolby Atmos or at the very least, a somewhat decent soundbar.Ambilight is a little gimmicky but it's a fun part of the TV, worked great for me when I saw the Playstation 5 reveal though. It really does add to the experience sometimes. The patent on it is running out so there will probably be a good number of TV's coming out with their own version of it in a couple years. The remote control is pretty standard and the smart features are almost all there, though the software can lag or crash sometimes.For the £349 I bought this TV for (50" version), it is absolutely 100% worth it. This TV is good enough for you to pretty much skip the £500 - £1000 gap as long as you're okay with the slightly patchy backlighting. If you want a serious TV above the £1000 mark, take a look at "OLED TV's".Hope this helps. If you found this helpful, please hit the "HELPFUL" button below. It'll really help me too. :)Five stars.

Love this TV. I struggle to watch the TV with no light on in the room. My husband likes to watch the TV in the dark. When I saw this I though it was fantastic for us. We can have a dark room but the ambilight behind the TV that lights up the wall behind means I don’t get a headache staring at the screen in a dark room. Seems silly but a total game changer to me. The TV is really easy to use and I think the picture quality is great. Fantastic price too. Absolutely love and would 100% buy another.

I am very impressed.4k picture quality with Sky Q is great.Sound from the TV is good when I try it but usually use home cinema set up.Ambi light is a good feature.I tend to switch it off using the remote button during day light.It looks great at night time. I like the party mode when playing music with the kids.

I’d been looking to buy a TV for quite a while and after a fair bit of research I decided to pull the trigger on this for the price and features it has.First off, the picture quality is absolutely gorgeous, I had to tune the settings a bit to get the optimal picture though. HDR 10+ can look quite dull on some titles which I found annoying as I never have that issue with Dolby vision. The sound quality of the built in speakers is quite bad, very tinny with dull bass. That shouldn’t be an issue for most people as sound bars are popular nowadays and I’d recommend pairing this with a good set of speakers too.The smart software is buggy and unresponsive it was bearable until paired it with an amazon fire stick 4K. Onto my favourite feature, ambilight. It really is immersive, I was sceptical at first and thought it was just a gimmick but it is very accurate and amplified the experience incredibly, I’ll never go back to a normal TV again. Only thing I’d like is for the light to completely shut off in very dark scenes to give a sense of darkness.Lastly, I’d recommend this TV to anyone on a budget who wants some great features for a good price, it’s worth buying a couple of extras (firestick 4K, good set of speakers) to get the full experience out of it. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent TV, the picture quality is similar to the more expensive Oleds in the market, need to tweak the settings a little to get the best image possible. The ambient light is a all show, very nice and mood setting. If you have nvidia shield, no need for the smart features of the TV

Love how well it’s designed so sleek and elegant and with the ambilight it adds such a great atmosphere I have the larger size tv also and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t buy any other tv because of this addition of the ambilight excellent quality and value for money definitely
