Philips 55 Inch 55OLED759 Smart 4K UHD HDR OLED Freeview TV

Ambilight impresses

We've had the TV for a couple of weeks now and it's proving to have been the right decision. The image quality is sharp and handles dark areas of the picture well, the colour is excellent and the sound quality does a great job (for TV speakers). The Ambilight feature is the big selling point of these TVs and, once you get used to it, really adds to the feeling of immersion (especially when the rest of your room is relatively dark). Works really well for gaming with smooth and even performance when hooked up to my PS5. The only real issue that knocks off that fifth star is the operating system which is clunky and unreliable to say the least - also the TV is not compatible with NowTV so I've had to buy a firestick to access that streamer. Overall a great value OLED telly.

Philips 650LED759/12: Total confusion over essenti

I just bought this Philips TV, but the remote and stand were missing. It is incredibly frustrating that a brand like Philips lacks clarity on this matter. Finding the exact reference for the genuine stand and remote control seems impossible!

Really bad software(TITAN OS) and doesn't hold WiF

The operating software is really bad. Titan OS IS REALLY BAD. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH APPS INSTALLED ON THE TV AND YOU CAN'T INSTALL APPS FROM THE STORE. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THE TV KEEPS DISCONNECTING FROM THE INTERNET

Philips 48OLED759

The Philips 48OLED759/12 is a well-built TV that has made a visible improvement in the picture quality from our set-top box. The OLED ensures deep blacks, vibrant colors, and an overall immersive viewing experience. The TV has a compact stand making it easy to fit onto smaller TV tables, which is a practical. While the TV offers decent audio output, the sound can sometimes feel too deep and hard to understand, particularly in dialogue-heavy videos. An external sound system or soundbar may be needed. Philips' signature Ambilight feature is present, though its impact seems more effective when the TV is wall-mounted. For those using a TV stand, the effect may not be as immersive as expected. One of the strong points of this TV is the good number of HDMI and USB ports, ensuring easy connectivity for external devices such as gaming consoles, sound systems, and media players. Unfortunately a few things let it down. No instructions on the TV and the online guide can be hard to navigate. The TVs EPG (TV Guide) isn't the easiest to understand or read. No facility to record onto to USB or pause live TV. I haven't owned a Philips for a number of years, but i am pleasantly surprised with the build and picture quality. The shortfalls would not disuade me from buying another in the future.

I love Ambilght! Overall it is perfect!

I have recently renewed my circa 5 years old TV and I am glad I have chosen Philips OLED as it is a significant upgrade. When I opened the box, I was very surprised to find the screen so thin. It is like a sheet of metal and I end up checking the manual to find out how to pull it out of the box as there is not much to grab. Also the frame surrounding the display is very narrow. The picture the screen produces is amazing.The brightness, the colours, the blackness and the details are so good. It even detects how bright or dark the room is and adjusts all the necessary settings to keep the display in balance. I am amazed by the Ambilight! It is astonishing. It adds so much more to the watching TV experience. It is like indirectly adding another layer to the picture. And with settings allowing you to choose your wall colour, it works not only on a white painted wall. My only struggle is to press with my big fingers the right button on the main cluster on the remote control as they are placed a little bit too close to each other. #Reviewclub

From Projector to Philips Ambilight

I recently switched from a projector to the Philips Ambilight TV, and here’s my take: The display is stunning, with colours that pop and brightness that’s perfect for those cozy nights when you just want to stream without the projector’s fan sounding like a lawnmower. The Ambilight feature is a bit of a mixed bag. During movies, I find it a bit distracting, so I usually switch it off. But it’s a lifesaver when I’m watching TV until late. After turning off the TV, it illuminates the room with a soft, diffused light, helping me find my way out without stubbing my toe. Bonus points for turning itself off after 30 minutes, so I don’t have to ask Alexa to do it for me. Connectivity? No issues here. With plenty of ports and a 1GB LAN, it’s absolutely brilliant to address any patchy or unstable WiFi signal during streaming. The UI is okay, but don’t expect too much. If you’re into apps like AppleTV or Plex, you’ll need to bring your own party with an additional device. Sound-wise, it’s decent, but if you’ve got anything underneath the TV, like a mantel, it’s like the sound is muffled. A soundbar might be a good option to go with. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. It’s on the pricier side, but as Matt Watson would say, it’s definitely worth “shortlisting”.
